MUKDEN, Manchuria, Dec. 9. (U.P.) — The United States legation entered another protest today with the Japanese military authorities against continued closing of the Mukden radio station.
The protest, made officially at Peiping, pointed out that the station was constructed by Chang Hsueh-Liang, Manchurian military dictator, in co-operation with the Radio Corporation of America and provided the only direct communication with San Francisco.
It has been assured by the Japanese foreign office, also the Japanese delegation to the League of Nations, that the station would be re-opened but it has been closed now for three months with no prospect of an early resumption of traffic.
An official of the Radio Corporation of America at Mukden said the station's receipts averaged $300 gold daily which the Chinese communications board divided with the radio corporation.
The American protest called official attention to the embarrassment caused United States business interests, the consular service and department of commerce officials.
