Byh. tt aon Menp For the discussion of the Oberst-Groupführer with State Secretary B a c k e in Berlin. Un 2. The question of subsidies for the next year of war, beginning on 1 September 1942, is to be discussed. I. _Greek: The current harvest forecasts are quite favourable in the Protectorate. Thereafter, a grant from the Reich of grain for the local area would probably not become necessary. However, the current weather gives rise to certain concerns. In this area, the Reich has paid a grant of 180 ooo t of bread grain to the Protectorate. II. Meat: If the pleschration in the Protectorate is not increased, in the next year of war, in contrast to the current = the marketing year, a grant of the Reich is expected to be equal = if not required. This autarky of the Protectorates is achieved by prescribing fixed quotas in the amount of total lo3 kg live weight per hectare of agricultural area. This quota quantity is greater than the normal increase per hectare. Thus, an intervention in the stocks will have to take place in a certain extent. Prerequisite for this is that in the coming year of war the imports from the south-east will be preserved to the protectorate and that the Wehrmacht= deliveries will be replaced as before by the Reich. III. Fat: In maintaining the current fat ration in the protector= torat, a grant of about 38 O00 t of commercial fat is needed
