GENEVA, Sept. 11.—(AP)—The threat of an Anglo-
French warship patrol off Italy’s western coast emerged om-
innously today from the “anti-piracy” conference of Nyon. In-
formed persons at the Nyon parley, where nine European pow-
ers—Italy and Germany self-excluded—were trying to uproot
the potential sprouts of a second world war, said Premier Mus-
solini would be invited to patrol the Tyrrenian Sea against
pirate submarines.

But if Italy declines to take part
in the impending anti-piracy pro-
tocol, it was said, British and French
warcraft would be dispatched to
the Tyrrhenian.
This grim force of naval police
would be empowered to sink any
piracy-bent submarine that pokes
its periscope above water. Italy’s
entire western coast fronts on the
Tyrrhenian.
It was explained, however, that
France and Britain, sponsors of the
Nyon gathering, still hoped strongly
that 11 Duce would join the inter-
national police force.
The Italo-German counter-pro-
posal that the problem of submarine
piracy be laid before the old Span-
ish non-Intervention committee in
London has been rebuffed by Bri-
tain and France.
Curtly, they announced such
a scheme was impracticable. Italy
and Germany still stood by their
counter-suggestion, entered when
they refused the invitation to Ny-
on, holding forth a promise of col-
laboration through the London
group.
Soviet Objections ' —
The crux of the touchy situation
will be reached after the protocol
plan is completed and Italy-possibly
with Germany—is invited to take
part.
Meanwhile, a new stumbling block
for the Nyon talks appeared in a
double-edged criticism by Soviet I
Russia that the contemplated pa-
trol system would be:
(1) Equivalent to granting of bel-
ligerent status under internation-
al law to the Spanish insurgent
government.
(3) Too loosely constructed to
wipe out the attacks on Mediterra-
nean shipping.
The British spokesman told this
writer his delegation does not be-
lieve the question of belligerent sta-
tus for the Spanish insurgent chief-
tain. Francisco Franco, would pre-
vent a complete accord at Nyon
He argued also that the patrol
plan would be effective on the
practical problem of ending the
piracy.
Thus was answered the criticism
Injected by the Soviet Union's dele- ,
gate and Foreign Commissar Max-
im Litvinoff.
The problem of belligerent sta-
tus for Franco—an old internation-
al headache revolves around how the 3

Under Way.
TOKYO, Sept. 11—(AP)—'
Japan today planned to dis-
patch special envoys to three
great powers—the United
States, France and Great Bri-
tain—to explain her version
of the Far Eastern war.
It was emphasised that the
envoys, who would lecture and dive
interviews, would not be official
government emissaries but would
be considered as representative* at
the people Business circles were
said also to be considering send-
ing their own representatives to talk
with American business men tor
the same purpose.
China was understood here to be
planning delegating similar tasks
to missions to win sympathy for
her cause.
It was learned, however, that the
trio of extraordinary representatives
had not yet been designated.
A prediction that the war will
continue into 1838 was made by
Premier Prince Puminaro Konoye,
who said Japan must lay her plans
with the lengthening military cam-
paign in mind. ‘
