DIRECT LINE MESSAGE TO M. V. FRUNZE,
COMMANDERS OF THE 4TH, 6TH AND 1ST CAVALRY ARMIES
December 25, 1920

The Defence Council has decided to adopt resolute and energetic measures to unload military echelons on the railways of the Southern area of communications, especially those which have already reached stations where unloading can be carried out in accordance with conditions of food supply and accommodation. Despite all the difficulties and obstacles involved in this unloading, the Defence Council proposes to carry it out immediately, because this is demanded by the catastrophic shortage of fuel and the necessity of delivering food supplies to the working centres at all costs. The Defence Council proposes that all bodies should treat this order as a combat order and exert the utmost effort to carry it out.
