English Translation

16 General other peoples (which would remain only unreal) of Slavic people in the long term destroy and dissolve the psychic-creative forces of our people and let our people become "Slavic" to the soul. The innumerable examples of German conversions into foreign peoples ("German culture fertilizer") prove a) the existence of strong powers of achievement and validity in German, b) explain his readiness to repopulate due to the previous lack of a German, also ideologically securing national and living ideals, and c) testify to the advertising power of a foreign church-religious or national ideal. ll. Since the readiness to repopulate is essentially based on geistig-seelischen foundations, the Germanization and Germanization of the desired, i.e., really repopular parts of the foreign population groups is only possible through psychologically correct measures, but rarely only through pressure and coercion. By coercion alone and otherwise as plump measures should usually only be the racially inferior, always unreal changing layers to "win". However, these must remain foreign-völkish. 12. Principle of foreign politics must be: never indiscriminately bring in, but only optionally let in! 13. Any attempt to Germanize the truly repopular strata must recognize and implement their natural performance by facilitating social advancement and at the same time the decisive significance of the existence of a German national and life ideal. 14. The real re-constitutability is to be deduced from the life probation of the family or family, from their general order of life and from their professional performance, from the character of their members. Here, gift and intelligence must not be confused: refined intelligence also has the Jew, but no creative talent. For many Eastern peoples, it is a guideline that their family life likes to become a so-called "heap family" -4 -
