WOOL SALES TO RUSSIA
NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA UNITED STATES “ NOT UNDULY CONCERNED” Rec. 10 p.m. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 The United States is not unduly concerned with New Zealand and Australian sales of wool to Russia during the past six months. Trade policy officials said to-day that nobody in the United States regarded the transactions with “any degree of worry.” Reports reaching the State Department show that the wool import requirements of the Eastern European Communist-dominated countries and of Russia—on a pre-war basis—are still unfilled, and that qontinued procurements will be necessary. The United States recently banned the export to Russia of goods with a possible war potential. This list nas not been published and the officials are not prepared to say when sales to Russia by any other country of a strategic war commodity like wool would merit United States concern.
