Crowds cheered in apparent joy and loyalty as the cavalcade drew up at Parliament House. There the Deputies and Senators vigorously applauded. Soon Princess Helene, whose eyesight is some-what impaired, led her son carefully up to the base of the Royal Tribune...

For example his dismissal was thought certain in 1924, just before the murder (TIME, July 28, 1924) of the U. S. Vice Consul Robert W. Imbrie. That incident so fired U. S. wrath that the Persian Government dared not further inflame...
