The Chargé in Iran (Ford) to the Secretary of State

Tehran, November 11, 1943—noon.
[Received November 11—7:40 a.m.]

1055. My 1053, November 10. Medjliss yesterday passed seven additional articles of the income tax law, including the schedule of rates and other controversial provisions. Millspaugh’s published statement appears to have been well received and to have had a good effect in expediting action. Medjliss meets again today and may well complete passage of the bill, since only seven articles remain for consideration.
