At two successive meetings of the Coundil the Japanese dele- gate reported progressive with- drawal of Japanese troops from Chinese territory.

He added that all Japanese troops were now with- drawn except for those, in Muk- den and Kirin and for a small number in two other towns.- British Wireless Service.
