INVESTIGATION ON SPOT.
Neutral Officials at Work at Shanghai. (Received March 7. 10.30 a.m.) RUGBY. March 5. The position in Shanghai is that all the Chinese forces are outside the twenty-kilometre zone and the Japanese state that all their troops will remain within that zone, although it is not quite clear whether this applies also to the reinforcements recently landed in the neighbourhood of Liuho. 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 the officers of the neutral Powers, who have special interests in Shanghai, are investigating the situation on the spot. At Geneva this 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 last night.
