The decrees and regulations which have been decided upon to govern the livelihood of the Poles will remain as before. For political practical reasons it is hereby recommended to maintain a certain amount of restraint in the public directives of these regulations, be it in posters, signboards, on press releases, etc.
I wish that the subordinate officers be informed of the necessary directives.
