The dispute between Japan and the United States concerning the establishment of higher power wireless plants in China has been renewed. Japan to-day repeated her protest to China against the erection of five stations by an American tirm, stating that a previous monopoly had been granted a Japanese tirm. The Foreigu Office states that the action has been taken with the greatest reluctance at a moment when the Japanese people felt deep gratitude to America for her great munificence and aid in the earthquake disaster. But the step was deemed necessary to safeguard Japanese interests, which had already expended large sums of money on the basis of Chinese assurances. Japan will agree t-o a revocation of the monopoly, if all the countries concerned undertake a co-operative policy.
