Our Agents in Macassai (Wohrmann) I have asked, if possible, to charter a Dutch Steamer and send to Rabaul under neutral flag (to the Italian Consul) with 3000-5000 bags of rice. It looks promising.
The chief difficulty is that the export of rice in Macassai is forbidden. In the event of the ship leaving, I look for the protection of the German Imperial Navy.
My confrere in Friedrich Wilhelmshafen - Mr. Bimdel - understands about the large rice depot.
