9h - 3 - 14 years would be included in the reduction, if only a ration rate of 20 to 25 g. The fact that this amount of fat would be intolerable does not need to be justified. III.Meat. 1) Maintaining the current ration rates. With the help of the cut-off measures introduced in the Protectorate, there is a mathematical surplus of 4 000 tonnes in the slaughter livestock sector. 2) Introduction of the ration rates of the rest of the Reich. If, from 26.0 October 1942, the increased ration rates of the rest of the Reich area are also introduced in the Protectorate for all persons entitled to care, there is a mismatch of 5 300 t. This shortfall corresponds to about 30 000 pieces of cattle. According to the letter of the Imperial Marshal, the up-to-date import of cattle and meat is to be eliminated in the 4th year of war. The real import (Slovakia and Hungary) in the third year of the war amounted to about 4 000 tonnes of meat. It must be sufficient to maintain the import of cattle and meat from the country to the present extent, since the mentioned shortfall would otherwise have to be covered by further intervention in the livestock of the protectorate. The delivery of the required slaughter livestock quotas already means a considerable intervention in the local livestock population. 3) Limitation of the introduction of ration rates. If the increased ration rate is limited to German and the recipients of the fat supplement card 25 the calculated surplus referred to in point 1) is reduced from 4 500 t to 2 532 t. In this case, imports from abroad could therefore be waived, even if a break-off of supply relations, especially from Slovakia, would be in principle highly undesirable.
