Wool & Rayon Trade Agreement - Japan-Australia

Japanese government offer of guaranteed purchase of certain number of bales of Australian wool, in return for which they wish Australia to purchase a certain number of yards of their own rayon staple fiber cloth, weighing above 3 oz. per yard, manufactured as a wool substitute.
