The Chairman of the Federal Radio Commission (Robinson) to the Secretary of State

Sir: Reference is made to your letter of the 27th relative to the grant to Firestone Plantations Company of a license for general radio communication to Liberia, and the protest of the Radio Corporation of America against the same.

Please be advised that the latter Company was notified several days ago of the denial of its application for license to communicate with Liberia and informed that a hearing would be granted it thereon if requested.

Respectfully,

Ira E. Robinson
