THE MEMEL SITUATION

London, To-day.

The British attitude to Nazi activities in the Memel territory was set forth in the House of Com- mons yesterday by the Prime Minister. Mr. Chamberlain said there was reason to think that after the elections, demands would be made of the Lithuanian Government by the majority parties in the Diet which would be in- consistent with the Statute of Memel.

The British Government, as A signatory, could not ignore this possibility.

In view of the special influence which the German Government was in a position to exert, the British charge d'affaires at Berlin had been instructed to join the French Am- bassador in expressing the hope that they would ensure respect for the Statute.--Reuter.
