•IMPORTANT
Your telegram No. 527 T last sent2nd paragraph.
It is doubtful if Soheily will ever be able to manage the
Majlis and^probably he will use it as screen whenever he wishes.
Moreover his- conduct ih regard to Japanese Legation and six
Axis supporters and his concealment from Shah that British
and United States Governments regarded removal of Japanese
as of extreme importance suggests he was trying to keep one
foot in the ^Axis camp. I think therefore that we should make
one more effort to secure Taqizade as Prime Minister. He is
the only man about whose qualifications we, Soviet Embassy,
Shah and Persian people are all agreed. Please see your
telegram No . 352. .not repeated. Perhaps his health would be
\ equal to the task if Majlis could be dismissed. I suppose you
satisfied that he certainly would be co-operative.
2. As you know Majlis was nominated by the late Shah
and enjoys no prestige while invalidity of its title probably
induces it to be more nationalistic than a properly elected
assemoly. No one but deputies themselves would regret dissolu
tion which could be justified by change in regime, obstructive
attitude about Firughi cabinet and especially (a popular
point) by its slowness to deal with urgent bills such as those
about hoarding and late Shell’s lands. Shah might be unwilling
to mention invalidity of election as reflecting on his father
but other arguments would be sufficient and public would
supply the rest. It could be stated that new election
would be hold but we could leave if lo 'Taqizade'not to hasten
issue of writs.
3* ^ If Taqizade accepted on this condition approval
of Russian and United States Governments would be necessary.
I believe my United States colleague would agree. He is
greatly incensed against Soheily for going back on promises
about departure of Japanese Legation. Soviet Ambassador
