The Minister in Iran (Dreyfus) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 3—4:30 a.m.]
1039. My 1037.64 Prime Minister has requested Millspaugh to postpone for one week the date on which his Mission will cease work if income tax measure is not passed by the Majlis. Millspaugh has acceded both because he does not wish to be intransigent and because he realizes that it is not reasonable to expect the Majlis to pass such an important measure in one session. He will stress in his reply to Prime Minister that Majlis failed to take advantage of the 2 weeks which have elapsed since he presented his resignation.
