The Secretary of State to the Minister in Iran (Dreyfus)

527. You should inform Millspaugh at once that he should take no action until the whole matter is thoroughly discussed through the Legation with the Department. This is obviously a matter of the gravest importance and we are surprised that Millspaugh should have reached any decision without a full and frank interchange of views with the Department. This refers to your 989, October 11, 4 p.m.
