Israel Renews Trade Pact With Turkey
and Prepares for Exports to Far East
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM—Israel has just re-
newed a trade pact with Turkey
and is about to sign a long-term
agreement with a Far Eastern
country for the annual export of
$8,000,000 in phosphates and phos-
phoric acid from the Negev, it was
reported here Tuesday.
The deputy minister for develop-
ment, Yehuda Shaari, has just re-
turned from an extensive tour of
the Far East. He visited Japan, the
Philippines. Thailand, Cambodia
and Singapore and reportedly
found a good potential market in
those countries for Israeli materi-
als, chemical fertilizers and semi-
finished products.
The Japanese are said to be in-
terested in the possibility of lay-
ing a pipeline from Sodom on the
south shore of the Dead Sea to
the port of Eilat on the Gulf of
Aqaba to move minerals in solu-
tion. A delegation representing
Japan's chemical industry is due
to visit Israel shortly.
The agreement with Turkey calls
for the sale of $10,000,000 in Israeli
products in that country and the
purchase by Israel of $11,000,000
in Turkish goods. The pact repre-
sents a 5 per cent increase in
trade over the previous agreement
between the two countries.
It was reported here that Israel
does not intend to operate the man-
ganese mines in the Sinai Penin-
sula because the high cost of trans-
porting the ore would make it un-
profitable under present conditions.
