London, Feb. 8.
italy's ready decision to apply measures for the strengthening of the Nyon arrangement, in, accord with the steps taken by the British Government to meet the recent revival of piracy in the Western Mediterranean, has caused satisfaction in official circles in London where it is hoped that this may pave the way to further and more effective ce-operation in other aspects of the Spanish conflict, It is learned that there have been helpful conversations between -the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, and the Italian Ambassador, Count Dino Grandi, on these matters and it is understood that the British Government is anxious to make further progress in this respect during the present week.
If unity of purpose and action of the two Governments on the Spanish issue can be achieved—thus eliminate ing an ámportant source of difference—then prospects of a general understanding between Rome and London will automatically improve.—Wireless through Reuter,
