LATEST SURVEY.
POSITION IN CHINA.
Bursts of Rifle Fire in Some
Districts.
COMPLICATED POSITION.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received 12 noon.) RUGBY, March 6. The position at Shanghai is that all the Chinese forces are outside the 20-kilometre zone, and the Japanese state that all their troops remain within that zone, although it is not quite clear whether this applies also to the reinforcements recently landed in the Liuho neighbourhood.
General hostilities have ceased, although where the Chinese and Japanese are in close contact occasional bursts of rifle fire have occurred, notably in the Nanziang area.
In accordance with the request of the League Assembly, officers of the neutral Powers with special interests in Shanghai are investigating the situation on the spot.
At Geneva yesterday morning, when the general committee of the Assembly met, the Secretary-General, Sir Eric Drummond, announced that he had received notification that the United States Government had given instructions for American military, naval and civilian representatives to co-operate with those of other Powers in the spirit of the resolution passed by the Assembly on Friday.
