Premier Mossadegh should have met Professor Frankenstein. Frankenstein or rather his ghost, could tell the Iranian premier a good deal about the vices of synthetic monsters. He created one which turned on him and destroyed him.

Premier Mossadegh has sought to strengthen his position in Iran by creating a monster. It is the monster of mass demonstrations and hysterical riots. All evidence points to the conclusion that the milling thousands shouting for the blood of Mossadegh’s opponents were stirred up by the premier and his associates.

But once mob spirit is aroused, who can tell on whom it will turn next? On Mossadegh himself, if he makes a misstep? More than likely.

Inciting the unreasoning passions that are latent in men is always a dangerous game. Premier Mossadegh is likely to find that he has lit the fires that may consume him and leave his nation in a heap of burned out ashes.
