Addres sed to Foreign Office telegram No. 142 of 11th
February, repeated lor information to Washington, Moscow
and B.M.E.O. (Cairo) (Foreign Office please pass copies
by fast bag).
The Shah received me in audience today. Apart from
the dressing on his upper lip, whicn somewhat impeded his
speech, he seemed to be in normal health and spirits.
2* As soon as there was an opportunity I spoke in

Majesty pointed out that the incident of last week had
entirely changed the outlook. He attached no importance
to his personal share in this affair and said that he was
strongly opposed to hasty or intemperate action of any
kind but that this was certainly no time for hesitation or
delay. If a decision to end political stalemate once and
for all were not taken now, he did not believe that another
opportunity would occur.
5. The Shah then said that he had decided on the
following procedure. Instead of ordering general election
in a fortnight's time he intended then to order the con
vention of the Constituent Assembly and simultaneously
to dissolve the Majlis. He expected that within three
months from the issue of convening decree the Constituent
assembly would have completed its work, including the*
passage of Senate Bill and a new electoral law. The
general election would follow immediately and under the
revised procedure would be over in a month or six weeks.'
There should in this way be little if any delay in conven
tion of the 16th Majlis which is due at the end of July*
I pointed out that this was precisely the kind of programme
against which I had been instructed to advise him. I
