English Translation

4/-1 - 10 - 4. Guests in the German Reich. For the construction of our economy, we lack people about human beings. Words such as shortage of skilled workers, retraining, career guidance, young people's guidance, rural flight, machine use and more are only too well known to us today. But all these words fade away from a concept which the racial politician cannot take seriously enough: before the foreign labour force, we want to hold straight away once and for all that there is no objective evaluation in the ras~en-political sense. Thus, we cannot make value judgments on the racial qualities of other peoples. Therefore, we cannot speak of higher-quality and inferior breeds, but can only find that they are of other quality and in certain things more efficient or less able to perform than we ourselves, out of this differentness a close contact with them by itself is possible. The Czechs, Poles, Slovaks, Hungarians, Croats, Romanians, Bulgarians are blood-stained under different laws than we are and are alien to our values. It was necessary that any dealing with Polish prisoners of war, which violates the healthy sense of the people, was prohibited by law. It is natural that this means, among other things, any sexual relationship. The German people do not wish to have relations with the relatives of a people who killed 58 O0o Germans a year ago, but they wish not to have children with them. It is a question of the internal attitude, but it is a matter of racial politics. The descendants of such connections are usually hostile to the parent who belongs to the culturally and politically superior Volke, because they can never reach him in his value because of their second blood proportion. But from the second parent they are racially. also different: they can e.g. They can become fanatical leaders in 20, 30 and 40 years of the broad strata of their volic against Germanism, didn't they prove this clearly enough to us in the last decades? Were not almost all chauvinist Germans haters among the Czechs and Poles German-versipped leaders against Germany? We do not want to relive this spectacle, and we do not wish to create a united class of leaders for these peoples, which can never be born from the midst of those peoples themselves. There is no need to make any difference here between Polish prisoners of war and civilian pclen who work in the German Reich. Both of them are members of our hostile people - we do not want to have any communion with them and we do NOT want them to be involved in raising our birth rate, what about those foreign workers who voluntarily come to work on the basis of agreements between the German Reich and their home state? We do not have the right to vote in favour of this report, but we do not want it to be a matter for the European Parliament, because it is not a matter of the Council of Ministers, but of the Commission and the Council, and I am sure that the Council will be able to take a decision on this matter.
