FORWARD STEP
TOWARDS SETTLEMENT OF PROBLEMS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.0 a.m.) RUGBY, September 16. The abdication of the Shah of Iran is regarded here as a forward step in the settlement of Iranian problems. The British and Russian authorities ■realised, not only that the Shah had countenanced pro-Nazi activities in Teheran after a settlement had been reached by the Allies with the Iranian Government, but also that there was strong popular resentment, in the Iranian capital, against the ruler, as well as of his disregard, over a long period of years, of welfare of his people. The firm stand made by the British representative, that the removal of Germans should not be delayed, and the approval thereof by Iranian public sentiment, no doubt contributed to accelerate the Shah’s decision to abdicate.
