LONDON. May "A gigantic indus
trial agreement was signed on Sun
day at Genoa by representatives OF
the Russian soviet government and
the Shell group of British oil COM
panies, telegraphs the Genoa corre-
spondent of the Evening News.
Under the agreement, he writes. the
Shell group will control all sales, and
under certain conditions all produc-
ton of oil In every part of Russia for
an agreed period. The concession may
be renewed by mutual consent.
Half ProAts for Soviet.
Fifty per cent of the net profits Will
be allotted to the soviet government
and the other SO per cent to the Shell
group, The working of the oil fields
will be administered by the British
cempsn,es under tie provisions OF
the Russian juridical code and the
prosiso that hot more than 30 per
cent Of the workers employed shall be
foreigners.
The correspondent understands that
the Shell combine has arranged to
apply the agreement almost i'm
mediately to the Caspian fields. TAX

Baku to Batum, and also to develop
the vast potential fields in Uralsk
province.
Standard May BE Involved.
Leonid Krassin, the soviet minister
of trade and commerce, signed the
agreement at the Hotel de Genes. the
decision to sign being reached, says
the dispatch, only after the Russians
on several occasions had played Of
the various groups against one an
other to obtain better offers for the
privileges, involving millions OF
pounds worth of output from oil
fields which. next to those of the
United States. are the most prolific
in the world.
It is more than possible. adds the
correspondent, that difficult compli-
cations may result over the working
of important areas in which the
Standard OIL Company had conces-
sions prior to the soviet nationaliza-
tion Of the fields.
