Sirs: I wish to protest and protest strongly against such antics on the part of the Prince of Wales as you describe in your issue of Nov. 2. No decent young man dresses himself up in girl's clothes and appears in a farce called The Bathroom Door.

...whose noble character and loyalty to me in difficult times I shall never forget. ... The coup d'état which Reza Khan has just committed against the constitution and against my dynasty was made at the point of the bayonet. . . . Against it I have raised a vehement and solemn protest. I consider as void and without value all present and future acts of his government. I maintain all my rights and those of my dynasty to the throne of Persia, which, by the grace of God, I hold according to the fundamental laws of my country's constitution...
