Your tel epraa ho. 556 [of I arch :Mtli: future of rerslan
parliament]. '
e certainly nooed tiiat the .lissolution of me Hajlis would
be followed by an interval and that fresh elections would not be
hurried on. But at the same tine we hav; always assumed that
if the Majlis v/ere dissolved it would be in preparation for
elections at some future ti un Mas * lease* see my tclegraM
iiOS. 659, 1015, 1096 andof 1942.
die a new i-ajlis would not necessarily be an
. rovenent on the .resent one, die arguments in paragraph ‘2 of
your teleCTa m Ho. 1024 of 1942 still seen valid and suggest that
the balance of advantage lies in allowing elections oo be held
tills summer in accordance \rith normal constitutional roccdure.
In order to get rid of the oresent Majlis we were prepared to
run the risk of critic!si for encouru^in the Goverment to
disreg^ird the constitution* But we doubt if it would be in our
interests to advise the Goverment to act unconstitutionally in
order to iroloif the life of die re rent assembly. duch ction
on our part mi. pit lead the deputies to assume tint there r/as no
limit to our patience t widle the Soviet G averment might also
misunderstand" our motives.
,j. same time e that there is no need for you
n to take the initiative in raisin^; die natter with the Prime
i inister for die moment and I an niite content to \7ait to see
how Majlis deals i/ith Bill now before it to ^rant wide econaiic

tiiat our views are properly concerted before tills question again
comes up for discussion between :he Pri ic : l ister and yourself.
