Wants “Equality In Anti - Piracy Patrol Scheme

Britain And France Remain Silent Awaiting Italian Ovcrture—- Fascist Press Ired By Rebuff.

(A. P- By Guardian's Specizil Wire)

LONDON. Sept- l6—liilly stood firm tonight on her refusal to join the IVIecIiteri-zinc-an "zinti-pir- acy” patrol on any basis but full ecuiality with Great Britain and France- Her spokesmen in Rome said any further move to bring her into the nine-power Nyon accord to sweep submarine "piracy" from the Mediterranean, must come from London or Paris-

Meanwhiie Britain and France pushed their naval concentrations to protect merchant shipping in the Mediterranean-

ln London and Paris official quarters were firm in assertions that the next overture in the tangle over “piracy"—which both Soviet Russia and the Spanish Government halve blamed on Italy

The Italian press indicated Italy had said her last word in Tues- day's note demanding Italian parity in the International Patrol to stamp out. attacks on shipping which grew out of the Spanish civil war.
