69-22 3 - the position of enterprises and their means of transport, which, however, could be resolved very soon by the energetic intervention of the Reichswirtschaftsministerium. In addition to securing approximately 1000 MN retail outlets, the wholesale trade was secured with approximately 1oo of the raw product industry, the scrap and scrap metal wholesale trade, the demolition and scrapping plants, the car recycling plants and the waste processing plants. The whole trade showed full understanding for the changed conditions in its economic activity. The limitations in the exercise of the trade which had been carried out and caused by the war were accepted without contradiction. 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 countless 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 loading facilities at the Reichsbahn, as well as minor difficulties, was the cause of this, such as the passing flaw of binding wire for the packaging of pressed bales of rags and waste paper. However, the recording continued to take an almost peaceful Fortaang, especially since the dispensing joy persisted in the dispossessions. In the first three months of the war, the Reichsstellen could not detect any perceptions of the difficulty of supplying the processing industry with raw materials that were derived from the inventory of old materials. The Reichsstellen almost without exception appealed to the Reichskommissar für Altmaterialverwertung with the request to carry out immediately collect actions in the Reich by entering the Party. On the other hand, the trade in the 4th month of the war complains about the return of the rise. The causes of the quantitative decline in the collection. The difficulties encountered in the recording of waste materials and waste materials are due to a large number of reasons, which differ for each type of waste. When 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 discharge place withholds worn clothes in order to be provided for in the event of a longer continuation of the war. New rags are also retained in order to be used in the household or in the commercial enterprise as a puss= or wispowder. S i r o t collection operations carried out have exposed the household and small-scale enterprises from their previous stocks. The small quantities that are constantly generated are not at present worthwhile for a commercial current recording. As a result, the old p a pi e r has been severely curtailed in its production, as the retail trade saves packaging materials and asks buyers to bring used packaging material back with them when shopping. Moreover, the printing of newspapers has been restricted and the rise of old newspaper has fallen sharply compared to the peacetime. In the recording of the A lt m e t alle, difficulties have arisen by the newly issued Order No. 48 of the Reichsstelle für Metalle (Reichsstellen für Metallen) in so far as § 9 of this order prescribes maximum quantities for the individual stages of the trade which may be bought up by each of these stages of trade.
