(Received 17, 8.45 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 16. - The Geneva correspondent of The Times states: — "The invitation to Italy to join the Mediterranean piracy patrol scheme still stands, but the deleg'ations attending the Nyon conference state that Italy must make the next move, and that it must be an approach to the whole conference. Britaitt and France will take no further step alone. " The Romo correspondent of the Daily Telegraph states: "Responsible quartcrs assert that Italy 's refusal to join the scheme unless given equality with Britain and France was dictatcd by iogic and geography. Nevertheless, the door for collaboration has not beeu closed. Once the Italian objoctions are removed, it is argued, Italy will hasten to join the scheme. It is pointed out that,. if the Italian demand is not satisfied, the presence of British and Fronch destroyers in the Mediterranean will further complicate the already critical situation." A squadron of reconnaissance flying boats from Felixtowe, Suffolk, will leave for Malta to-morrow to participate in the Mediterranean patrol. J.t will later bo joined by a squadron from Pembroke. 1
