20‘This fervour for Iranian sovereignty over its oil was widespread, and popular in every corner of the country. In the summer of 1950, a group of Oxford University students studying the fish, flora and geography of the irrigation canals at Kerman in the southeast, found even in remote villages the constant refrain: ‘Give us our oil and then there is nothing which we will not be able to do’.’ Anthony Smith, Blind White Fish in Persia (London, 1953), p.95.
