Is Announced.

LONDON, March 16.-A commercial
agreement for reciprocal trading has
been signed by Great Britain and soviet
Russia, it was officially announced to-
day.
Trade relations between Russia and
Great Britain have been in progress fol
nearly two years. Several times they
have been reported broken OF, but al
ways the powerful British labor party
brought pressure on the government II
favor of their restoration.
1t was contended by officials OF British
trade unions that the opening of trade
relations would do much to alleviate Brit
ish unemployment. The negotiations
were tagging when Washington d. Van
derlfp, the American hnancier, went tt
Russia and secured valuable concessions
for the exploitation of Siberian terri
tory and exchange of manufactured goods
and raw materials. The Russ British ne
gotiations were speeded up and the sign
ing of the pact quickly followed.
1t was claimed by officials Of the soviet
government that reports of the recent
anti-Red uprising at Kronstadt were ex-
aggerated, with a view to hindering the
trade negotiations of the soviet govern
ment.
