The Council of Defence, at its sitting of October 7, resolved to prohibit
all state institutions and enterprises
from making any sales, with the exception of those precisely stipulated by the laws on percentage deductions. With the object of preserving the state commodity
fund
for
the systematic
conduct of
commodity exchange through the appropriate agencies of the People’s Commissariat for Food and the Central Union of Consumers’ Societies, and also with the object of putting a stop to cases of the sale by production organs of products intended for the supply of the Red Army, I propose that you, on your personal responsibility, see to the strict fulfilment of the above decision of the Council of Labour and Defence and not permit the sale by production organs of any goods or products, with the exception of those allowed by the decisions and decrees on deductions from the natural fund.
