"In execution of this decision, the government will, through the fore eign office, seek definite enlighten- ment from the nations who are mem bers of the League as to whether the guarantee required by Germany, prior to her application to enter the League, will be given: relative both to Germany's position in the League and to the other questions intimate- ly connected therewith."
