To present all the facts in pos- session o f this government to Germany and to demand an explanation o f how that nation can square its deeds with j its promises. 2. To send a note reciting that Germany has violated the solemn as- i suranees made to the United States, ! and notifying her that unless prompt reparation be made Ambassador G e r-) ard will be withdrawn. 3.
