Cereals. 1) Supply possibilities to the Reich while maintaining the current ration rates. The letter of the Reichsmarschall dated 1 August the Js. provides for a delivery obligation of 250 000 tonnes of bread grain from the Protectorate to the rest of the Reich. According to the result now available, the 3rd harvest estimate of the Central Statistical Office results in a surplus of 2l2 000 tonnes from the protectorate. In this respect, it is important to note that, unlike outside the Reich, the Czech producers cannot easily be expected to be willing to deliver at a rate of 100 %, which amounts to 49 500 tonnes. If, after the completion of the compulsory delivery, it should be concluded that the readiness for relief was greater than was assumed, then the quantities transferred will of course be made available to the Reich beyond the 212 o00 t. 2) Delivery possibility if the ration rates are increased in accordance with the Reich regulation for the entire population. 79.(26.) For the increase in ration, 36 300 t are required in the Protectorate.
