Copy to: Executive Committee.
Provincial Food Committee.
November 25, 1918

595. Supply of the population with articles of personal consumption and domestic economy is under the jurisdiction of Komprod. Systematic non-execution of its requisition orders constitutes obstruction of Soviet food policy. I order unconditional fulfillment of Komprod's requisition orders. Do not create obstacles to the dispatch by Komprod through its authorized organs of felt boots. In case of non-execution I propose that the Executive Committee bring the Council of the People's Economy to court. [1301/m]
