Concession Signed for Chinturi Manganese Fields
A concession and agreement between the W A Harriman Company of New York and the Soviet Government for exploitation of the Chinturi manganese fields has been signed. The contract activates within 45 days once the Georgian government ends its export monopoly. Harriman will advance 1.4 million dollars against royalties, via Lloyd's Bank in London. Djerjinsky hopes this lays groundwork for firmer US‑Soviet ties and welcomes American capital.
