3 - the establishment of enterprises and their means of transport, which, however, could soon be remedied by the energetic intervention of the Reichswirtschaftsministerium. In addition to securing approximately 100o medium-sized businesses, the wholesale trade was secured by approximately 1000 companies in the raw product industry, the scrap and scrap metal wholesale trade, demolition and scrapping operations, the car processing companies and the MNüllauswertungsbetriebe. The entire trade showed full understanding for the changed conditions in its economic activity. The limitations in the exercise of the trade, which were brought about by the war, were unreservedly accepted. In the first months of the war, it was thus possible to keep the old materials at a reasonably normal level in spite of the withdrawal of innumerable workers and despite all the difficulties in the transport sector. As far as the Versorauna was left to be desired in isolated cases, the lack of transmissibles and of loading possibilities at the Reichsbahn, however, as well as minor difficulties, such as the temporary lack of binding wire for the packing of pressed bales of rags and waste paper, was the Ulrsache. However, the recording continued to be almost peaceful, especially in the case of the loss of income. In the first three months of the war, the Reichsstellen could not see any perceptions of the difficulty of supplying the processing industry with raw materials from the inventory of old materials. The Reichsstellen turned almost without exception to the Reichskommissar für Altmaterialberwertung with the request to carry out immediately collect actions in the Reich through Einsat of the Party. On the other hand, the trade in the 4th month of the war complains about the Rükgang of the rise. The causes of the quantitative decline in the collection. The difficulties encountered in the inventory of waste materials and waste materials are due to a variety of reasons. These reasons differ for each waste material type. Looking at the most important old materials, the following picture emerges: The amount of L u m p e n inevitably had to go back tremendously after the introduction of the Reichskleiderkarte, because every householding and commercial drop-off place holds worn clothes in order to be provided for in the event of a prolonged continuation of the war. New rags are also retained in order to be used in the household or in the commercial enterprise as a penetrating or wiping pots. The collection operations carried out have exposed the household and small business enterprises from their previous stocks. The small quantities that occur on an ongoing basis are not at present worthwhile for an ongoing commercial recording. As a result, the old p a p i e r has been severely curtailed in its production, because the retail trade saves packaging materials and asks the buyer to bring used packaging material back with him during purchases. Furthermore, the druk has been restricted by newspapers and the advent of old newspaper has sparked strongly in relation to the peacetime. In the recording of the A lt m e t all difficulties have occurred by the newly issued order No. 48 of the Reichsstelle für Metalle insofar as § 9 of this order prescribes for the individual stages of the trade maximum quantities which may be bought up by each of these trading stages.
