20a In addition, Dr M o r i t z in particular wished that the supply of / potatoes to the above-mentioned units should be ensured in the coming marketing year from the Bohemian and Moravian regions without exception, since it is not acceptable to supply the units with potatoes in the supply route from the Reich. In the field of brewing, Min. Dr. M o r i t z suggested that, in order to save barley, at least the 5% increase in the level of protection in the protectorate should be reversed. In the Reich, it was repeatedly pointed out that the Czechs were better supplied than the Germans. In conclusion, Min. M o r i t still inquired whether it was possible to make sugar available to the Reich from protectorate stocks for a one-off expenditure for intervention purposes, since it was the special wish of the Reichsmar- schall to make a one time edition of about 1/2 kg in the coming weeks. In the Reich itself, no quantities were available for this purpose in the tense supply situation. For this reason, it was necessary to try to free this quantity from other areas. There were also firm commitments already in 2 areas, which would already allow the REM to meet the wishes of the Reichsmarschall. Dr. S c h m i d t that from protectorate stocks the kingdom beyond the l30.O00 t Reichsreserve could most probably not be given any more quantities. (As far as the protectorate is concerned, in the event of the issue of cane sugar in the Reich, it must under all circumstances be attempted to make sugar available to the local population at this level by further ruthless savings in other areas.)
