| With the occupation of Iran during Second World War, government of Iran invited Arthur Millspaugh, PhD., as the Administrator - General of Finances. One of the most important of his issues was the crisis of bread. The aim of this article is to answer this main question: What had he done for solving the crisis of bread in 1321-1323 and what were the consequences of his policy? In order to answer these questions, sources such as available documents in National Archive of Iran, Foreign Ministry Archive, 13th and 14th periods of National Council's negotiations and Etela'at Newspaper have been studied in descriptive - analytical. Some of Millspaugh's policies were: the dissolution of the Ministry of Provision, intensification on monopoly of wheat and grain, establishment of an office called "cereal and bread section" which was responsible for collecting cereal, administrating bakers and delivering bread and wheat. This article tries to study and analyze the scale of these policies. |
