Draft Decision for the C.P.C. on Private Purveyance of Food {1}

Allthe various bodies serving the food organisations of
different trades, such as Prodput or Prodvod, etc., are asked to combine
their efforts, their staffs, their agents and detachments with the main
forces of the Commissariat for Food. Refusal to co-operate signifies or
would signify a refusal to support the Soviet authorities, a refusal to
assist in the fight. against famine by all the workers and all. the
peasants. The only way to combat famine is to join forces.
