be issued. 2. In the event of the sabotaging of such instructions, the strictest measures are to be announced to the council. 3. The Jewish councils are to undertake a temporary census of the Jews — if possible arranged according to sex (ages (a) up to 16 years, (b) from 16 to 20 years, and (c) over) and according to the principal professions — in their localities, and to report thereon within the shortest possible period. 4.

civil administration and the competent local military authorities
When carrying out this action care is to be taken that the economic security of the occupied territories suffers no damage. 1. The needs of the army are to be the first consideration, e.g., it will hardly be possible, to begin with, to avoid leaving behind Jewish traders here and there who, for lack of other possibilities, must definitely remain behind for the provisioning of the troops. In such cases, however, the speedy Aryanization of these industries is to be aimed at, in agreement with the |
