RULER ON PROBATION

The new Shah is a young man who has yet to prove his worth. He was born in 1919 and it cannot yet be said that he has gained the respect and goodwill of the Persian people that are essential in a monarch whose subjects are showing a growing determination to effect important constitutional reforms, without which that alleviation of the social welfare of the people so ardently desired by advanced elements cannot be achieved.

On the other hand, it is believed in London that the close association of the new Shah with the former regime and the encouragement he has given to some of its more criticised policies, may be found to prove unsatisfactory to the newly awakened spirit of the Persian people. As far as the British Government is concerned, its main desire is to see installed on the Persian throne one who has the support of his people, is prepared to work as a constitutional monarch, is ready to put an end to the abuses from which Persia and the Persian people have suffered and will refrain from hampering the larger causes of the Allied Governments. As viewed here, the whole sitpation in Iran appears to be moving in the direction of the establishment of a constitutional regime, which will bring Persia into a' scheme of collaboration with the Allied war effort.

All developments in connection with the handing over of German nationals and the closing of Legations have been

closely watched in London, where Mr Eden has had the utmost co-operation from M. Maisky, and the decisions reached for the advance of troops to Teheran were taken some days ago. With the willing assistance of the Persian Government, there should be no further delay or equivocation.
