WashinGton, May 1.-The sol

tails OF q new measure embodying

Approval to Be Asked.
President Harding will be urged
TO approve the measure in this form
and will be told that il will impose
10 heavy burdens on the treasury
during the next three years. whne
the present public debt refundins op-
crations arc in progress. 1t is the
present thought OF proponents that
the ultimate necessary financing can
be done by use OF the foreign debt,
though there is a possibility that the
trseaury may have to issue some GER
tihcatcs of indebtedness to cover costs
in the first year or two, unless funds
from the foreign debt become avail
able meantime.
Estimates given to the majority
today by Joseph S. Mccoy, the gov
crnmcnt actuary, placed the ultimate
cost OF the new bonus plan at ap-
proximately $4,000000,0O0. with the
iirst year .ost $77,00O,000, the sec
ond year $92,0O0,000 and the third
year, $3.50, 100000. The large sum
necessary in 1926 is explained by
reason of the fact that the govern
mcnt would make loans on certifi-
Gates in that year up to 80 per cent
OF the amount of the adjusted SER
vice credit, plus interest at va per
cent.
Would Remit Loans.
During the first three years banks
would be authorized to loan to vet
erans holding certificates one-half of
the sum OF the adjusted service
credit.
The measure to be taken to the
president is the, McCumber plan,
which would provide for immediate
loans to the veterans equal to SO
yer cent of their adjusted service pay
at the rate of 81 a day for domestic
service and $l.25 day for overseas
service. At the end Of three years
the loan value Of the certificates
would be 80 per cent of the adjusted
service pay plus 4 IA interest annual

Gigantic Industrial Agreemen,
Signed at Genoa Between
Soviet and Shell British
Oil Companies.

Genos. May 2.-(By A. P)-The
Genoa correspondent for the London
Evening News, In q dispatch to his
paper this afternoon, quotes Col.
Boyle. representing the Shell group
Of British oil companies and Royal
Dutch interests here. as denying that
an industrial agreement was signed
Sunday between these interests and
the Russian soviet government as
had been reported.
Ruter's correspondent here says
the Russian delegation to the eco-
nomic conference also flatly denied
having made any concession to the
Shell interests.
London, May 2.-(By A. PA
gigantic industrial agreement was
signed on Sunday at Genoa by repre-
sentatives OF the Russian soviet gov
ernment and the Shell group OF oil
companies. telegraphs the Genoa cor
respondent Of the Evening News.
Under the agreement, he writes,
the Shell group will control all sales,
and. under certain conditions, all pro-
duction of oil in every part OF Russia,
for an agreed period. The conces-
sion may be renewed by mutual con-
sent.
Division of Profits.
Fifty per cent of the net profits
will be allotted to the soviet govern
nlent and the other 50 per cent to
the Shell group. The working Of the
oil fields will be administered by the
companies under the provisions Of
the Russian juridical code and the
proviso that not more than SO per
cent of the workers employed shall
be foreigners.
The correspondent understands
that the Shell combine has arranged
to apply the agreement almost immc-
diatcly to the Caspian fields. taking
charge Of the pipe line from Baku
to Batum and also to develop the
vast potential fields in Uralsk prov
ince.
Leonid Krassin, the soviet minis
ter of trade, signed the agreement,
says the dispatch, only after on sew
eral occasions he had played the
various groups against one another
to obtain better offers for the privi-
leges. The fields involved, next to
those OF the United States, are the
most prolific in the world.
1t is more than possible. adds the
correspondent, that difficult compile
cations may result over the working
OF important areas in which the

sions prior to the soviet nationali-
zation of the fields,
