Agreement Signed In Moscow
(Received 2.30 p.ra.) LONDON. February 12. The German-Russian agreement was signed in Moscow, It provides a yearly turnover of 1,000,000,000 marks (£83.000,000 at prewar rates). Germany will erect a series of factories in Russia, and Russia, reciprocating, will supply raw materials, including ore, petroleum and foodstuffs, particularly large quantities of grain. Neutral observers in Berlin think that transport difficulties will be a great obstacle to fulfilment of the agreement, and for this reason Germany is striving to improve the tracks and increase rolling stock.
