                    Dear Mr. President:                     
 
                                                            
 
 
Enclosed herewith , for your information, is a prepared statement   
presenting a point of view in respect to the control of essential food   
products as a basis for future action in order to assure maximum   
production and equality of distribution in Italy.  This paper results from   
contact with teh relief problem and its relation to the existing policy of   
control of free movement between the various communes and the Provinces   
        within the released portion of the country.         
 
                                                            
 
 
So many complaints about the existing situation came to me and so annoyed   
me by their apparent unfairness that during the past several months and   
from time to time, I discussed the matter with Colonel Poletti and others.    
These discussions led to the development of hte point of view described in   
     the attached paper which you may find of interest.     
 
                     Sincerely yours,
