We will have to reduce the plan somewhat for the Siberians and the Middle Volga people. I am afraid that the Lower Volga will also have to be reduced somewhat. The Middle Volga could be given 100 million poods, Western Siberia 85 million, and when the Lower Volga raises the question, they could be given 100 million. Accordingly, the grain fund for livestock will have to be reduced from 100 million poods to 60 or 50 million.
