RUSSIAN OIL CONCESSIONS
SHELL COMPANY'S NEGOTIATIONS AN AGREEMENT DENIED LONDON, May 5. The Australian Press Association’s Genoa correspondent states that Mr Walter Samuels, of the Shell Oil Company, has arrived at Genoa. Interviewed, he denied an agreement over Russian oil concessions, but admitted that negotiations were proceeding with Krassin prior to the meeting of the Conference, but they were discontinued when the Conference was summoned, as it was considered improper to proceed during its sittings. It is these pre-Conference negotiations in various directions that arouse suspicions which it is difficult to dispel. The French and Belgians declare that they have proof that the Soviet had agreed to give Belgian oil properties to the Shell Company, hence their insistence that property should be restored and not compensated for.
