Geneva, Sept. 17.
The Nyon Conference ended its task to-day by establishing a complete sygem of defence against illicit warfare the Mediterranean by submarines, surface vessels and aeroplanes.
This was achieved with the signature of a complementary agreement extending the principles of the Nyon scheme, which dealt solely with submarines, to surface vessels and aircraft, The new agreement was signed without reservation by all nine Powers after lengthy deliberations and after Greek objections had been met by the addition of a passage to the text allowing governments to exercise their discretion in home waters.
The text will be published some time on Saturday to allow of its communication to Italy, which will again be invited to take part in the patrol scheme as in the case of the original Nyon agreement.—Reuter.
