With a view to increasing exports of all kinds to be made available in payment of food, and also in the interests of internal order in Germany, the Allied and Associated delegates requested that it should be made a condition of the consignments of food now in course of arrangement that no part of these consignments should be distributed to unemployed persons who by their own fault or choice fail to obtain work.
