  Arthur Millspaugh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Chester Millspaugh, PhD, (1883-1955) was a former adviser at the U.S. State Department’s Office of the Foreign Trade, who was hired to re-organize the Finance Ministry of Iran from 1942-1945 and 1922-1927.
Millspaugh managed to implement a number of reforms, including a new taxation law that hit the poor hard but financed Reza Shah’s Trans-Iranian Railway project, which got underway in 1927.
The financial mission under Millspaugh’s supervision again became a source of irritation between Tehran and Washington and had to be terminated in 1945.

 Chapter IX: Strengthening Iran
The ramifications of Millspaugh's second economic mission to Iran extended to collection of the harvests and supplying bread for urban centers; control of the public domains and administration of the estates of the former Shah ceded to the government on his abdication; stabilization of prices; and regulation of the purchase, distribution, and control of goods.
It is understandable that Millspaugh's mission, in view of its extensive powers and responsibilities, should eventually have run into trouble and, as in the earlier attempts by Shuster and Millspaugh himself, should have come prematurely to the end of its labors.
Millspaugh resigned in February 1945, and, with the exception of a few who remained until 1948 under direct personal contract to the Iranian Government, most of his staff were gone by autumn 1945.

 Reza Shah the Great
Furthermore, not unlike his Constitutionalist predecessors of the period preceding World War I, Reza Shah was inclined to look for a friendly third force that would help Iran free herself from Soviet menace and British influence.
Thus he repeated the experiment of 1911 when an American expert, Morgan Shuster, had been brought to Iran to reorganize Persian finances by inviting in the early 1920s another American, Dr. Arthur Chester Millspaugh, to assist in the reorganization of the Iranian treasury.
After some years a German, Dr. Kurt Lindenblatt, was appointed governor of the national bank, while numerous German technicians were invited to advise Iran in developing her industry and communications.

In both cases, it was in their interests to claim Black people were incapable of running their own lives as a mandate for their own rule, and Haiti had to be discredited as a counter-example to this.
Predictably, they enlisted Science to their cause, founder anthropologist Arthur de Gobineau claiming Black people were racially “incapable of civilization” and Haitians were “as depraved, brutal and savage as in Dahomey or among the Fellatahs”.
US financial advisor on Haiti Arthur Millspaugh argued the occupation was “a unique laboratory for social, economic, political and administrative paternalism”.

Persians looked at the United States with what one Iran hand, Richard W. Cottam, calls "unreasonably strong good will." When the Iranian constitutionalists needed help with finances early in 1911, whom did they bring to Tehran as treasurer-general but an American, W. Morgan Shuster?
When again in need of financial advice in 1922, they hired another American, Arthur Millspaugh.
Already in the 1880s, the U.S. ambassador in Iran told whoever would listen that "The field is opened to American capital and industry which has but to come here and reap its fruits."
