The Weyl-Dirac theory of grativation and electromagnetism is modified by the introduction of a background metric characterized by a scale constant related to the size of the universe. One is led to a natural gauge giving G/G = -5.5 x 10/sup -12/y/sup -1/. This is smaller by about a factor of ten than the value obtained on the basis of Dirac's large number hypothesis.
