AGREEMENT SIGNED
GERMANY AND RUSSIA SUPPLY OF WAR MATERIALS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) AMSTERDAM, Feb. 12 The German-Russian agreement has been signed at Moscow. It provides for a yearly turnover of 1.000.000,000 marks (£83,000,000 at pre-war rates). Germany is to erect a series of factories in Russia. Russia reciprocally will supply raw materials, including ore, petroleum and foodstuffs, particularly large quantities of grain.
Neutral observers in Berlin express the opinion that transport difficulties are a great obstacle to the fulfilment of the agreement, for which reason Germany is striving to improve tracks and increase rolling stock.
