WIRELESS CONTRACTS IN CHINA.
FEDERAL CONTRACT SANCTIONED,
PROTEST FROM JAPANESE AMBASSADOR AT
PLKING,
PEKING, October 28th." The Prking Leader says that, following receipt of information that the Cabinet last Tuesday, formally sanctioned the Federal wireless contract, the Japanese Legation has further protested on the ground that the contract is a violation of the Mitsui contract of 1818.
The Minister of Communications has deputed the Vice-Minister to see Mr. Yoshizawa, who yesterday unsuccessfully tried to arrange an interview with the President in order to lodge a protest.
The Peling Leader adds that the American Legation has been informet and the Cabinet has given full approval to the Federal contract, a few details only remaining for arrangement.
The construction of the first station at Shanghai will probably begin this winter. The Leader learns authoritatively that excent at Tokyo, there has been no talk of the formation of an international group to take over the Federal and Mitsui con tracts. The American Government has consistently insisted on the invalidity of the monopoly clause in the fitsdi con- tract and has steadily refused to nego tiate with Japan regarding a compromise.
