NOTE TO TSURYUPA
To Comrade Tsuryupa or his deputy.
The bearers are comrades from the Maltsev factories (up to 20,000 workers; in their district, up to 100,000). The food situation is catastrophic.
I request that you listen to them and (1) take emergency measures to help at once, if only within the minimum limits, but to help immediately;
(2) involve representatives of the Maltsev district in the Small Food Council;
(3) Exert efforts to organize detachments from the Maltsev workers.
