English Translation

-32 - P8/ 4./ The same for civil air defence / gas masks, air protection buildings and similar, as already a look into the state estimate shows, is largely excluded from the porporationality of most of the state funds. Thus, the GRUNDSATZ is devalued. This also destroys the decisive possibility of eliminating unemployment and social distress in the German settlement area through state insurrections and orders. A true proportional equality can only be achieved here if the peoples and ethnic groups have the right to a proportional share in all state deliveries and if they themselves are decisively involved in forgiveness through national self-government. As regards the principle of proportionality in transfers of regional self-government associations, it is only possible to comment on the principle as soon as the Government's proposals on the organization of the self-governing of peoples and ethnic groups are available. First of all, it should be noted that the management of the supervision by central authorities is a matter of course, in fact, of compliance with the rules of the Staff Regulations, which would not require any further mention.
