English Translation

In the case of vegetables and fish products, special arrangements are to be made. I have proposed to leave it with the previous regulation (special deliveries to the Sudetenland and beyond to the Reich). In a telex, the Reich calls for a set-up of the alcohol production possibilities of the Protectorate and wants a production of 400.O00 t. After the fulfilment of the other demands of the Reich, 173,000 hl of spirit can be produced on a potato, molasses and sugar beet basis. It is still necessary to examine the nature of the processing of the highest nutritional benefit and the extent to which the decision is influenced by transport conditions, the presence of tankers and the like.
