The government replied on that oc casion that in principle the granting if the concession to Major Tulloch Lnd Novomejski was already decided [upon. It also replied that the extrae- [tion of the salts is of a highly tech- fciical and commercial character in volving a large expenditure and the a of loss. Therefore, the govern ment itself cannot undertake this. Subsequently the Arabs addressed elegrams to the Lord Chancellor, urg- ng the local government to develop he Dead Sea resources. These tele- :rams have been acknowledged but ,ot officially replied to. If a reply had )een sent, it would have been along he lines of the earlier letter, the Earl f Plymouth declared.
