18. Your July 22, 6 p.m. Minister for Foreign Affairs advised me this morning that Lithuanian Government supports the principles featured in your statement of July 16 which he considered are indispensable [Page 717] for the maintenance of peace but he stated that the Lithuanian Government would not be adverse to entering into future commitment within the framework of the League of Nations for regional guarantees to insure maintenance of peace and security. Lithuanian Government continues to affirm its faith in the League of Nations which might act as instrument to keep alive and make effective the principles featured in your statement.
