League of Nations approves three point Sino Japanese plan
Geneva March 11 The League of Nations Assembly endorses a three point programme to settle the Sino Japanese dispute but delays formal adoption while Japan and China await government instructions. The plan rejects recognition of battlefield agreements and backs China’s view of Assembly jurisdiction over Far East issues. Shanghai reports say China demands unconditional Japanese withdrawal from Shanghai. Tokyo hints Japan may need to keep troops beyond any peace zone. The Assembly proceeds with the plan, with Japan and China abstaining from voting.
