IMMEDIATE^
[4 groups undec*]« [Grp. undec.] cause is the fact that
Minister of the Interior called on the Shah without informing
the Prime Minister and when asked by the Prime Minister to
resign, refused to do so. The Shah refused to accept
iresignation of either of them. The Prime Minister secured
signatures of ten ministers to some sort of protest but some
of them alleged that they were appealed to by the Prime
Minister'separately, and misled as to the issue. The fact
is that the Shah and Prime Minister distrust each other
profoundly. The Shah is inclined to listen to gossip, but
on the other hand I do not think the Prime Minister is-
straightforward even in the version of affairs which he
gives me.
2. After discussion between ourselves, the Soviet Ambassador
and I saw the Shah separately February 5th. According to his
own account the Soviet Ambassador confined himself almost
entirely to urging the Shah to smooth over the present dispute.
5. Being asked by the Shah to give my advice I dealt with
the following points:
(1) I said that I thought no Minister should see the
Shah without the Prime Minis ter*s knowledge. The Shah
declared that this had been agreed with the Prime Minister, who
had, however, omitted to warn Ministers. I suggested that the
procedure should be examined forthwith to obviate such
misunderstandings in future, and deprecated dismissal of the
Prime Minister on . this issue where for reasons I gave, I
thought the Shah'was not on strong ground.
