The city becomes the “free city of Danzig,” which enjoyed autonomous rule within the Polish state for three centuries. The city’s independence will be guaranteed by the league of nations, which will appoint a commissioner for the safeguarding of that guarantee.

At the same time the city will be included in the Polish customs union and citizens will be entitled to the privileges of Polish citizenship. The Poles are granted freedom of access to Danzig across East Prussia, and via the corridor, with control of tiie Vistula. The Germans, on the other hand, will have free access to East Prussia across that corridor.
