Peking, Oct. 28.
The "Peking Leader" says that, following receipt of information that the Cabinet last 'Tuesday formally sanctioned the Federal Wireless Company's contract, the nese Legation has lodged, a' further protest on the ground! that it is a violation of the Mitsui Contract of.1918.
The Minister of Commiunications''has deputed' the Vioe-Minister to see the Japanese Minister, Mr. Yoshizawa, who yesterday unsuccessfully tried to arrange an interview with the President -in order to lodge the protest.
The paper adds that the-Amerjcan Legation has been informed that the Cabinet thas given its full approval of the Federal Contract, only a few details remaining to be arranged.
The construction. of the first station at Shanghai will probably begin this winter.
The journal learns authoritatively that except at Tokio there has geon no talk of the formation of an international group to take: over the Mitsui. and Federal Contracts. The American Government has consistently insisted on the invalidity of the monopoly clause of the Mitsui Contract and has steadily refused to negotiate -with Japan towards a compromise.—Reuter.
