国联调查团抵达中国后,广泛调研了涉及中日关系的上海、汉口、南京、北平等地,在进入东北之前除与国民政府代表进行多次会谈以外,还注意在地方民众中展开调研.在此过程中,国民政府向调查团提出了解决中日冲突的中方提案.国联调查团对于中方提案的交涉及修改,目的在于为将来的调查报告及国联大会提供一个可以讨论的基础.厘清九一八事变的历史背景及国际法责任是调查团重点调查的议题.调查团进入东北之前围绕调停方案与中日双方的交涉,为国联报告书的出台及国联决议奠定了基础.

After their arrival in China,the Lytton Commission conducted extensive inquiries about the Sino-Japanese relations in Shanghai,Hankou,Nanjing,Peiping and other cities.Before entering Northeast China,they had many meetings and discussions with representatives of the Nationalist Government,and also took into account the opinions of local residents.During this process,the Nationalist Government presented to the Lytton Commission its proposal for solving the Sino-Japanese conflict.The Lytton Commission negotiated with the Chinese side and submitted amendments to this proposal as a basis for future discussion in their investigative report and for the General Assembly of the League of Nations.The focal point of the main investigation of the Lytton Commission lay in clarifying the historical context of the September 18 th Incident and determining the responsibilities of international law.The negotiation with China and Japan by the Lytton Commission on the mediation plan before entering Northeast China laid groundwork for issuing a report of the League of Nations and its resolutions.
