LONDON, August 1S.-British gov
eminent circles are much worried over
the difficulties with which the next
session of the League of Nations is
confronted. According to Information
here, there is danger of crisis which.
if unsuccessfully handled, may spell
disaster to Europe and TO the league.
Spain has the key to the situation

ish Amba ssador in London has limited
that his government attitude is I'M
compromising and that. if she is un.
satisfied, Spain will follow Brazil's
example and withdraw from the
league.
British Withdraw Support.
The British government, which
promised to support Spain's claim,
now has changed its attitude and has
informed Madrid, through Amba ssador
Rumbold. that she considers that
SPANS attitude menaces the leagues
existence and consequently has been
compelled to withdraw her support.
On the other hand, the government
Is nervous over the growing opposi.
ton in Germany to Germany's en-.
trance into the lea que, and it Is feared
that IL more bitches are forthcoming
before the September meeting, the
German delegates may never board a
train for Geneva and Germany will
cancel her application. since public
opinion in Germany never would en-
dure another rebuff. =
If the German Reich does not enter
the league, the Locarno treaty be-
comes dead letter.
Lord Cecil, who will represent Great
Britain at Geneva in September is
working on a plan by which he hopes
to secure fair settlement. The plan
provides for the creation Of nine
temporary seats in the council. three
members to be retired yearly and to
become ineligible for period Of three
years. BY two.thirds ma jority OF
the assembly. however. certain
number Of States. not exceeding
three, might be declared eligible for
reelection Immediately. This would
have effect Of creating three semi
permanent seats to meet the claims of
Brazil, Poland and Spain.
Poland Agrees to Plan.
Lord Cecil. who has sounded ont
the intert sted-- countries. found that
Poland was agreeable to the scheme.
while Spain was adamant. refusing to
submit to reelection. News of the
Standardization treaty is a disturbing
element in the foreign office. 1t is
pointed out that all the clauses of
the treaty have not been disclosed
but the mere fact that Spain lust
now is pressing her claim to Tansier
Is not regarded as mere accident
and does not make room for much
optimism.
1t Is considered more than proba bile
that Italy will support SPANS claim
tor 4 permanent seat. in exchange
for Italian participation in the ad.
ministration OF Tangier. which is un
favorably viewed by France.
