The rest of the 263 wagons were delivered to the territory in accordance with the guidelines already laid down in the planning of this production. This is a utilization of the capacity of the protectorate which is not fully employed for its own needs. The jute industry of the Reich, which is largely concentrated in Hamburg and Bremen, has suffered considerably in recent times from bomb damage. The material for the entire production - protectorate - needs and supplies to the rest of the Reich - is allocated by the last few due to the ongoing connection between the monitoring office at the Ministry of Economics and Labour in Prague and the distribution office Bastfiberindustrie in Berlin. The distribution of sacks available from the production of the Protectorate for deliveries to the rest of the Reich is also carried out by the Bastfiberindustrie distribution point. The 70.O00 pieces of seed grain bags, to which the accompanying letter of the Pommerschen Landw. Hauptgenossenschaft refers, are a subset of the paper bags available to the rest of the Reich from the production of the Protectorate. The 6 wagons required for the transport of these sacks were placed on the 3rd of April. The letter of 30 December 1994 was annexed to the letter of the Pommerschen Landw.
