the conviction that the

the (icrman people,
which many then surely
thought.

one thing, namely,

( ¿ c r m a i i N r e p e a t e d w h a t i t w a s 60

the (iernuin people had to

dissolved, divided in

This must suffice to defray the costs of their admin,
 J

cover the cost of maintenance of the public buldings

as well as everVttmng they spend for
schools
and educat-ioipial purposes
this must also cover what they spend on welfare.
A total of 26 million in revenues and welfare support
alone requires45 million
That's what Germany looks like today
Under these p'a'rt-ies \v hoÿha^irÂmVd ©urr
nation for
14 years
And the only question is,
for how much longer-?
because of my con viel-
¡corn
that \vc must begin with the rescue work now if we
 do not want to come too late
I declared my willigness on January 30th
to'make use of t-he'mo\iemerit which has gone from
seven men to a'force of twelve million
towards saving the German nation and fatherland
Our opponents are asking
about our program. My
national comrades, I
could now pose the
question to these same
opponents: “W here was
you r
 p r o » r a m ? *'*'
Did you actually
intend to have
happen what did
happen to
 Germany! Was
that your program,
or didn't you want that?
W ho p r e v e n t e d
you from doin<* the
 o p p o s i t e ? S u r e l y t h e y do
not intend to now suddenly
recall
that they hear the
responsibility for fourteen
yea rs.
 However, we shall
both
remind and reproach
them and thus make
certain that their
conscience may not
rest,
that their memory does not lade.
Wilt'll they say , "Show us the
details of y our program," then
my only
answer is this: any <»o\eminent
at any time would presumably
have been able to
have a program with a lew
concrete points. But after your
fine state <d'
 a ff a i r s ,
after your dabblin'», after
your subversion, the
(■ermaii Volk must he
rebuilt
f r o m ( o p t o bo t t o m , j u s t a s
you destroyed it from top
to bottom! That is our
program!
And a number of
great tasks tower
before us* The
best and thus the
fi rst item on our
program is:
We will not lie and we will not
swindle
i have therefore m m m
I have declined to come forth to the nation with
cheap promises
No one herevcan stand up against me and testify
 !
‘that i have ever
said that Germany-^ resurrection was only
a matter of days
Again and again i
preach:
the resurrection' of the German nation
is a question of recovering the inner strength
and health of the German people
Just as i myself have now worked for 14 years tirelessley
and without ever wavering, to build this movement
and just as i have succeeded in turning seven men into a
force of twelve million in the same wav
I want and we all want to build and work on giving
new heart to our German nation
and just as this movement today has been
given the
responsability of the leadership of the German Reich
so shall \vc one day lead this German Reich back to life
and to greatness
We are determined to allow nothing to shake us in this
 conviction
and so i come to tfhe^seeond item on m\r program
f do not want to promise them that this resurrection of the
 german nation will come by itself
we are willing to work but^the nation must help us
It should never make the mistake of believing that life,
 liberty and happiness will fall from the sky
Everything is rooted in one's own will, in one's own work.
 And thirdly, we
wish to have all of
our eff orts guided
by one
realization,
one conviction:
Never believe in foreign
help
Never believe in help which lies outside of our
own nation
 or our people

 The fourth item on our
program dictates that we
rebuild our Volk not
according to theories hatched
by some alien brain, but
accordin'* to the eternal
laws valid for all time. Not
accordin'* to theories of class,
not accordin'* to
 concepts of class.
The fourth item on our
program dictates that \u*
rebuild our Volk not
accord in«» to theories hatched
l)y some alien bruin, but
according to the eternal
laws valid lor all time. Not
 according to theories of class,
not according to
concepts of class.
We can sumnuiri/c our I’il'tli
item in a single realization:
I lie l‘n ndaincntals ofour life arc
tonn(led on values which no one can
take away from ns except w e
ourselves; they are founded on our
o w n fl e s h a n d h l o o d a n d w i l l p o w e r
and in our soil. Volk und l\rde
—those are the two
roots from
which we » ill draw
our strength and
upon which we
 propose to base our
resolves. And this . . .
 brings us thus to our sixth
item, clcarl\ the »oal of our
stru<i<ile: the preservation of
this \'oik and this soil, the
preser\at ion of this \ oik
for the future, in the
realization that this alone
can constitute our reason for
 hein«. 11 is not for
ideas that we live, not for
theories or fantastie party
programs;
n o , w e l i v e a n d fi < * h t f o r
the (ierman Volk, for the
preservation of its
existence,
 that it may undertake its
own stru<*<*le for existence,
and we are thereby
convinced that only in this way
do we make our eontrihution
to w hat e\ t'l yonc
else so gladly plaees in the
foreground: world peace.
 This peace has always
rct|nired strong peoples who
strive for and protect it.
WOrld culture is founded
upon the cultures of tile
d i ff e r e n t n a t i o n s a n d p e o p l e s .
A world economy is only
conceivable if supported l>\
 the economies of healthy
iiiclix ¡dual nations.
In starting w ith our own \ 'oik,
w e are assisting in the
reconstruction of the
entire world in that
we are repairing one buildiii“
block which cannot be
 removed from the framework
and structure ol' (he rest of the
w oriel.
And another item reads:
because we perceive our
highest <*oal to be the
preservation of our Volk,
enabling it to undertake its ow n
 struggle lor existence,
ue must eliminate the causes
of oni* o\\ n disintegration and
thus bring about the
reconciliation of the (•crnian
classes. A goal \> Inch cannot
be achieved in six
weeks or I'onr months if others
ha\ e been laboring at this
decay for
 se\ eil I \
y e a r s , l iu i a « ¿ o a l w l i i c l i w e
alwa\s keep in mind, because we
shall rebuild this
new community on rsel\es and
slow l\ eliminate the
manifestât ions oi l his
disintegration. The parties \\ hieh
support this class di\ ision can,
h o w e\ er , be
certain that

 Never, « * «
never will I stray
from the task of
stamping out
Marxism and its
side eff ects in
Germany,
 and never will I he
willing to make any
compromise on this
point.
There can he only one
victor: either Marxism or
the (German Volk! And
(iermanv will triumph!
 In brin<»in<* about this
reconciliation of the
classes, directly and
indirectly,
\\e want to proceed in
leading this united
(¿e nil a n Volk back to the
 eternal
sources of its strength;
we want, by means of
an education starting
in the cradle,
to implant in young
minds a belief in a (>od,
the belief in and w ill to
defend our Volk.
Then
we want to resurrect
this Volk on the
fo u n cl a t i o n of t h e
(iernian peasants,
the cornerstones of
all volkisch life*
W h e n I fi < » l i t l o r t h e f u t u r e o f

he jjives us the people in the
cities, he liiis been the

millenniums, and his existence
m list he seen red.
 And I lie*n I proceed to the
second pillar ol'mir national
tradition: the (German
the Cicrinan worker
who, in future, shall no longer and
must no longer he an alien in the
(ierman Reich; \shom we want to
lead hack to the coni in n nit\ of our
\ oik and for
 whom we » ill break
(low 11 the doors so that
he, too, eau
become part of the
(German
Volks<»ememseliaft as one
oft lie bulwarks of the
CHernian nation.
\\ e i 11 then on sine tli at the
Ciernian spirit lias the
opportu n ¡tv
to inirokl; w e want to restore
the value of'character anti the
creati\ e pow er of t he
individual to their everlasting
prerogatives. I Inis we want to
 break w i t h all the
manirestations of a rotten
democracy and place in its
stead the ev erlastin«»
realisation that everythin”
>vliicli is <»rcat can originate
only in the pov\ cr of the
indiv idual and that everythin«»
w hich is to he preserved must
 he entrusted once
more to the ability of the
individual.
 Wo will combat tho
in a ni testations of our
parliamentary and
democratic system, which
leads us to our twelfth
item—
restoring decency to our
 Volk. I n addition to
decency...
ill all areas of our life:
decency in our
administration, decency
in public life, and
decency in our culture
 as well, we want to
restore (icrman honor,
to restore
 its due respect and the
commit ment to it, and \u‘ want
to engrave upon our hearts the
com ill itmen t to
treedom; in doin'* so, we
desire to bestow once more
upon the Volk a '>entiinel\
(.crinan culture w itli (ierman
art, (ierman architecture, and
(icrnian music,
 which shall
restore to us
our soul.
 and we shall thus evoke
reverence for the «peat
traditions of our \Oik; evoke
deep reverence for the
aeeoni plisli nients ol ( he past,
a humble admiration for the
»reat men ol'tierman history.
W e want to lead our youth
hack to this glorious Reich of
our past.
 H 11 i n b l e d
shall they bow before
those who lived
before us and labored
and worked and
toiled so that they
eould live today.
 And wc wiiiit most of all to
edtiente this
youth to revere those w ho once
m a d e t h e m o s t d i ffi c u l t
s a c r i fi c e f o r t h e l i f e o f
our Volk and the future of our
Volk, f in* all the damage these
fourteen years
 wrought, their worst crime
was that they defrauded two
dead of t heir
s a c r i fi c e , a n d t h e s e t w o m i l l i o n
shall rise anew before the eyes
of on i' von til as
an eternal warning, as a
demand that they be revenged.
 W e want to educate our
youth to revere our time-
honored army, which they
should remember, which
dead of their
sacrilice, and these luo million
shall rise anew he fore the eyes

demand that they he revenged.
We want to educate our
youth to revere our time-
honored army , which they
should remember, which
they should admire, and in
vvliich they should once more
recognize the
powerful expression of the
 strength ol the (iennan
nation, the epitome of the
greatest achievement our \ oil
has ever accomplished in its
history.
Thus...
this program w ill he a
program of national
resurrection in all
areas of
life, intolerant against
anyone who sins
 against the nation,
but a brother and
friend to anyone
who has the will to
fi ght with us for the
