No. 43. _March_ 18, 1919.
To all subject authorities:
I have heard that several commanding officers who have to distribute
food to the civilian population have, by virtue of an authorization that
they may save part of the entered amounts for the purpose of using that
sum for propaganda, saved a conspicuous quantity without having the
possibility of using it later. As it has been ascertained that the only
effective means of propaganda is the distribution of food supplies ...
amounts which are useless [for other purposes] and absolutely necessary
for purposes of propaganda.
THE VICE-ADMIRAL
THE GOVERNOR,
E. MILLO.
