NOT MUCH OF A LOSS SAYS MARSHALL
Washington, August 25.
Mr. George Marshall, the Secretary of State, an- nounced today that his Government accepted the Russian decision to close the American consulate in Vladivostok, and added: “It's not much of a loss.”
The movements of the American consul there were "so circumscribed as to make his activities of little value," he added, Mr. Marshall said the Rus- sian action was "not entirely unexpected" by the State De- partment, and summed up the whole business as "a regrettable though not very serious matter."
