Default Afghan Fords

A note that I found says that telegrams were intercepted by Censorship from Dagenham to Dearborn, dated October 1940. Dearborn (office of Edsel Ford) had stated that negotiations were proceeding to sell commercial lorries to the Afghan Government PC in NY and it was expected that 1000 would be sold in the first year, increasing to 3000 annually. The Afghan reps. in America had requested Fords to provide complete tools and fixtures for Kabul assembly of these vehicles, and Ford reps. were to be available in Afghanistan to train the personnel. Dagenham, in reply, had hoped that these negotiations would be successful.
