In addition to these 30,000 tons for the Reich, 33,000 tons of oats, 20,000 tons of hay and 18,000 tons of straw are still required by the army administration in Prague for the 4th year of war management. It is obvious that according to the above mentioned facts these 33,000.t oat can not be delivered. So far, only 15.Oo0 t of hay and 25,000 t of straw have been promised to the army administration./Generally, it can be said that the harvest, apart from some high altitude areas, has been brought in without losses and in good condition. The result of this year's harvest can be spoken of as above average. (c) Sugar If the drought does not last any longer, it can be expected that the quantities of sugar requested can be delivered. Moreover, as in previous years, it is even intended to deliver 30,000 tonnes of sugar beet and 20,000 tonnes of raw sugar to the Reich for some sugar factories in the Sudetenland and Ober-lund Nieder- Donau. These deliveries also result in a further 20-25,000 tonnes of sugar. However, with regard to the tense situation in feedingstuffs, the protectorate must be required that the feed (dry pulp and molasses) produced during the processing of beet and raw sugar in the Sudetenland and in Ober- und Niederdonau be returned to the protectorates. (d) Livestock, the quota for livestock carried out in the Protectorate is intended to cover the needs of the Protectorates in the coming economic year to a large extent from their own production. However, it was not possible to avoid that some of the stocks already had to be seized. When the meat balance was drawn up, however, the supply of the Wehrmacht on the basis of the agreements made so far with the Reich's Minister of Food has not been taken into account. These agreements were concluded that the Protectorate would only supply meat to the units of the Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, and Ordnungspolizei, which were housed here, in advance, and that the quantities delivered would then be refunded by the Reich. 5.0oo t.It is not acceptable to press these out of the gürA2Monafe local agriculture additionally, especially since the letter of the Reichsmarschall further provides that the previous import of cattle and meat in future should be allowed to continue. In this respect, it is also necessary to try to amend the decision taken.
