This apparently generous action convinced the Iranians that the British had been bilking them for years under the old rates. The Majlis refused to ratify the agreement with Anglo-Iranian, and payments to Iran, earmarked to finance a desperately needed development plan, were held up.

Since he has not yet acted, and since he has been generous to the YP's in allowing them time to seek advisers, we cannot accuse him of having a consuming desire to destroy the organization. But he has not displayed any fundamental dislike of the idea that the group should be broken up if it cannot find advisers. The forced disbanding of the YP's is still possible, though not likely. And the very fact that it can be considered a possibility...
