between Poland, Germany and Danzig, to assure suitable railroad
communication across German territory on the right bank of the Vistula
between Poland and Danzig, while Poland shall grant free passage from
East Prussia to Germany.
The northeastern corner of East Prussia about Memel is to be ceded by

inhabitants.

all differences arising between the city and Poland. The actual
boundaries of the city shall be delimited by a commission appointed
within six months from the peace and to include three representatives
chosen by the allied and associated powers, and one each by Germany and
Poland.
