Wool sales report and Persian oil crisis commentary
Wool sales report notes Woolworth Limited third catalogue on October 22 with about 8300 bales, Western Riverina brands and Cobram district prices, firm market and strong demand from UK Japan and Western Europe. American buyers quiet. The piece also recounts the Persia oil crisis diplomacy, detailing debates among Churchill Attlee Gaitskell and Mossadeq’s fate, with Stokes and Morrison’s roles and a wait and see stance. British-American policy should not repeat separate diplomacy in future upheavals.
