London, May 22.-I learn that
Lloyd George has given assurances
to Herr Stahmer, German, charge
daffaires at London, that the Ger
man governments application for
admission to full membership in the
league of nations will be considered
at the forthcoming conference at
Spa.
The premier's viewpoint does not
necessarily involve revision of the
treaty, but concerns, I understand,
means whereby the allies would be
in closer touch than at present with
Germany in event of development of
further international complications,
or German slackness in performance
of treaty obligations.
1t is the premier's opinion that
Germany's membership in the league
would enable France to apply di-
rectly to the league in event in
fringement of her treaty rights is
threatened by Germany.
