. On October 6 th I found the prime Minister and the
'Minister lor Foreign Affairs greatly depressed because it
was evident to^ them that everything they wished to do would
be delayed or blocked in Parliament by unscrupulous deputies
seeking votes or notoriety - most unscrupulous being the
most violent, . We-discussed the possibility of dissolving
Parliament without using the excuse that elections were
invalid, but following this line of argument.
,, (? e gi2f) ’’Persia like all other countries is passing
through difficult conditions which call for bold and speedy
action. Even in lands where democratic Government has been
supported the longest people have accepted in the public
interest limitation of right to delay or prevent the Governments
action© Persia has had chree Prime Ministers and even more
Cabinets in 14 months and the present Cabinet although
formed only a few weeks with the approval of nearly all the
Deputies is already subjected to most violent attacks so that
the^Government is unable to devote itself to urgent problems
awaiting settlement. What is most serious is that among the
most violent of those who attack the Government in the name
of freedom and of sovereignty of the people are men who
enthusiastically supported autocratic regime in which the
present Prime Minister took no part. In various parts of the
country there is insecurity which is encouraged by the fact
that trouble makers sec the Government being openly flouted
by men who are well known to be unscrupulous and self-seeking.
Parliament has failed completely to realise the gravity of the
situation and only remedy is to dissolve it and to hold fresh
elections as soon as the situation allows "
