Warsaw, February 7, 1937.
Poland stands on the eve of the breakthrough.
The era of materialism bankrupted in Europe dies, the planet of any morality is destroyed – the regulation of secret organizations is broken, the capitalist strategy of power of money is shattered. A fresh era is coming – the Youth Movement is an expression of its aspirations. religion in absolute fact is the essence of the spirit of fresh times. The individual, given the absolute basis for assessing all phenomena, becomes able to exert a conscious influence on the course of life. The people of the fresh times act, hierarchically organized, universally willing to educate the full Nation in the name of the absolute truths.
New times bring a fundamental desire to affect all associate of the Nation in cultural and civilization and to give everyone a real participation in governments. This current gives a peculiarly bright and sharp character to the upcoming breakthrough in Poland. Poland from the dying era – it is simply a nation with a decaying culture of noble-inteligent and passive peasant culture. A layer of conscious forces of the Nation is disproportionately low, most of the national forces are inactive.
The Youth Movement carries rebirth – rebirth by shock. The secret inside of the Polish soul must be drawn, the crushing fist must be struck at everything that separates Poles from conscious participation in the creative life of the Nation, the passiveness, classyness, harm and misery must be eradicated, the dirty interest of individuals. The spiritual forces of the Nation, liberated and increased repeatedly by the breakthrough, will be utilized to build the large Poland in the name of the following principles:
STRUCTURES NOT APPLICABLE
1. God is man's highest goal.
The eventual intent of the individual is supernatural, the life's actions must be aimed at achieving happiness in absolute, ultimate value – God. In God, whose attitude toward people is understood and explained by Catholic religion.
2. The way of man to God – work for the Nation.
The supernatural intent of man – drawing close to God – can only be achieved by the highest improvement of the spiritual values of the individual. The highest level of spiritual improvement gains a spiritually and physically healthy individual by working for the Nation, which develops noble, impersonal character values, forces the head to scope the highest level. The future connected straight and dependent the spiritual value of Poles on the state of the national environment in which they were born, raised and lived. This thousand-year union of the individual with the Nation requires, all the more so, all Pole to realize work for Poland, as a condition for achieving full improvement of his own spiritual values, development, bringing man closer to his eventual goal – God.
3. In creating the greatness of the Nation – happiness and human development.
Man’s actual happiness is not about satisfying material needs, comfortable life, or deficiency of anxiety. Only the fulfillment of the intent of your existence gives you an interior sense of actual happiness, the manifestation of which is the expansion and improvement of your own value. The creation of the greatness of the Nation is made by the top effort of the character and head of the members. The same spiritual effort brings the individual's value to the highest attainable level, makes her aware of the meaning of existence, gives her a sense of actual happiness.
POLAND
4. You will be a tool of the nation's history.
The nation and state will be united, organically united. The state will be the main and most crucial tool of national policy. The union of the state with the Nation and its submission to the size of the Nation will be achieved by the creation of the Political Organization of the Nation, which will gradually encompass all Poles and guide the state policy.
5. The state will be based on one, universal, voluntary, hierarchical political organization of the nation.
The political organization of the Nation will be a skeletal of all conscious national forces, it will bring harmony and order between individual and group actions of Poles, subjecting everything to the size of Poland. The political organization of the Nation will be for all Poles, only belonging to it will entitle to public activity. The political organisation of the Nation will be organised in the ranks of each Pole. The political organisation of the Nation will be s o r o l n a. The voluntary participation in it has a profound moral meaning, due to the fact that by joining the Organization, the Pole will find that from his deepest conviction he submits to the hard responsibilities associated with public activity in the fresh system. The Political Organization of the Nation will be h and e r ar c h and c o n a – that means that there will be individual management and work in it, that everyone in it will have their superior, that the Head of the Organization will, as Chief of State, appoint a government. The hierarchical construction of the Political Organization of the Nation will most full implement the rule of social democracy, seeking to entrust each associate of the Nation with individual power and responsibility. The importance of a dedicated unit of national work will depend only on its individual value.
6. Political parties will cease to exist, secret organizations will be wiped out.
The political parties are a tool for a crumbling parliamentary system, consumed by the spirit of easy compromise, bringing moral and political chaos into the lives of the Nation. Political organization of the Nation, creating hierarchical, 1 for all Poles, forms of public activity – will remove parties from life. Political parties in Poland are based on secret organizations that govern them. All parties are sedated by secret staffs, mostly dependent on Jewish-Masonian internationals, and always harmful and decomposed. Secret organizations form a strategy of organized political lies, origin the work of crucial managers, do not let fresh forces and currents. Secret organizations will be exterminated not only due to their relation with the organization system, but above all due to the fact that they are fundamentally opposed to the spirit of hierarchy and transparency of the public life of the Nation.
7. The Political Organization of the Nation will give all Pole a real participation in governments.
In today's scattered democracy, the influence of a citizen on government is fictional, and his voice, given erstwhile all fewer years on the electoral card, most clearly demonstrates how hypocritical the phrases about the sovereignty of the population in the parliamentary strategy are. The Political Organization of the Nation will give all Pole – in all its cells – a regular chance and will make a regular work to influence the way the state is governed. In this way, he will receive an informed national peasant and individual actual participation in state power.
8. The hierarchy of the Political Organization of the Nation will be based on principles:
(a) The more valuable the character, the better the results of the work and the more self-sacrifice – the greater power.
The position in the Political Organization of the Nation will depend on 3 fundamental tests: the character, head and will to service the Nation. The higher the value in each of these 3 areas, the greater power it will have. The level of the entity's value will be determined by the attainment of a legally defined level of expertise and moral conviction of the manager.
(b) The greater the power – the greater the responsibilities, the greater the individual responsibility.
Above all, power must be viewed as the origin of the strictest responsibilities of the individual. It will make this rule a peculiar political code for members of the Political Organization of the Nation. The Code will punish the members of the Organization with additional punishments – the amount of these additional penalties will increase as the political hierarchy of the Nation progresses. The political code will besides supply for circumstantial penalties for political offences that no criminal law provides for.
(c) Money cannot be a rung for power, power cannot be rich.
Every Pole, regardless of the degree of wealth, must have the same chance to scope the heights of political life. Wealth will not have the slightest impact on political life; the hierarchy of the Political Organization of the Nation will be based solely on the principles of the interior value of the individual.
(d) The merit of the past cannot be a origin of privileges for the ruling.
The Political Organization of the Nation will not grant anyone any rights to power solely due to its past merits. Individual measures will be applied to all, and those who do not represent sufficiently advanced values will be removed from power, despite all merit. It is crucial to guarantee that new, capable units are blocked.
9. The Universal Educational Organization, working with family, Church and army, will make a fresh kind of Pole; it will give the Nation uniformity, destroying class and tribal differences.
The nation of Poland does not have a uniform spiritual structure. In the highest national issues, Poles cannot find a common language and act as if they have respective equally right ways to choose. The Polish nation does not have a uniform civilizational facet. It is torn apart into social classes, spiritually alienated, while the large masses of the Russian and Belarusian population live completely outside of the Polish civilisational creation. The way to the spiritual union of the Nation after the breakthrough, which must precede the construction of the large Poland, leads by educating young generations in a unified view of the world. Current education is an artificial combination of influences of the household house, Church and school. The uprising, so the Universal Education Organization, covering all youths, and cooperating with the Church, household and army. The Universal Education Organisation will educate young generations in a uniform spirit of ideological-political absolute truths and hierarchy, educate knighthood virtues, make professional skills. The Universal Education Organization will give the Nation – as the final consequence – a common ide-spirited structure for all Poles, teams with the Polish passive population so far.
10. A separate intelligent and noble culture and a separate peasant culture must vanish – the uprising, as the property of all Pole, of a uniform national culture.
True national unity is manifested primarily in a unified culture. The nation, culturally heterogeneous, broken into layers with distinct types of life, is simply a sick nation. The historical Polish strategy created 2 cultural environments in the Nation: noble-inteligent and peasant. present the peasant cottage and the intelligent flat are 2 separate cultural worlds. The breakthrough will make the cultural unity of the Nation. The national culture will be 1 common one, will be the property of all Pole, will be independent of abroad influence, and at the same time creative and conquerive.
11. There is no strong army without a hierarchically organized Nation.
The best method equipment and the best traditions will not make a good army, if a pacifist educator, a man with no thought of the obligations of a Pole, grew up in liberal-democratic principles, incomprehensible spirit of hierarchy. In large Poland, the service in the army will be an end to national education, which will instill in the pre-compulsory spirit of hierarchy and give awareness of national responsibilities. In large Poland, the military hierarchy will naturally and organically constitute the full with the hierarchy of the Political Organization of the Nation. The unity of the foundation of the armed and civilian forces of the Nation will remove the hierarchical strategy from opposing the characteristics of the soldier – the characteristics of an unumunded citizen.
***
12. Army – the first ranks of the armed Nation.
The Army will live with the spirit of the offensive, will know the aspirations of its Nation, desiring above all their implementation. An army with the spirit of defence can't win any war.
13. Jews from Poland will be removed, and their assets will be taken by law.
The removal of Jews from Poland will be preceded by the return of his achievements to the Polish Nation by the full expropriation of Jews. The first phase will be the ruthless removal of Jews from Polish life. Planned and extremist removal of Jews from Poland – this is the last phase of judaic policy. Jews will be deprived of political rights, rights of participation in all Polish social unions, rights of service in the Polish army. They will be deprived of the right to participate in Polish companies, the right to employment Poles and the right to work with Poles. Polish schools will be free of Jews, Polish cultural life will be closed to them. These rules will enable the Nation to see, in the least costly way, the minute of the full displacement of Jews from Poland. A adequate reason to remove Jews from our lives is their inability to make large Poland.
14. Slavic minorities will be obtained for Poland by assimilation of masses and combating enemy units.
Not by mechanical injunctions, nor by naive flattering, but by a large plan to rebuild cultural and economical ends, by the Universal Education Organization, by allowing and completely equalizing Slavic minorities in the Political Organization of the Nation – leads to gaining the people of the end for Poland. Ukrainians have a right to prosecute their own country in their home territory, but not in lands that lie within the borders of Poland. All activities aimed at depriving Polish lands will be prevented and its perpetrators will be exterminated.
15. The national economy will be based on the following principles:
(a) Property is the usage of the things of the Nation.
All things are within the territory of the State Authority of the Nation, which, for the sake of the general good, may leave this power to individuals, or to social groups, who give a warrant of its good conduct. Property is simply a social function. It has responsibilities and powers to do so. Obligations require the following conditions to be fulfilled: 1) the usage of property is limited by the interest of the Nation, 2) the usage of property determines the applicable rights, 3) the usage of ownership must comply with the general economical plan, 4) the usage of ownership must be productive, the object must not be wasted. The content of the rights is: 1) the entity has the right to usage its property freely within the limits laid down by the general rights and circumstantial indications of the economical plan, 2. an entity may transfer or sale the property to persons who warrant the conscientious performance of the ownership obligations.
(b) individual management work, or executive work, is simply a condition of the individual's right to profit.
The primary work of the individual to the Nation is to work. Only work gives a man the right to live in society. The work displays initiative, energy, will, creative capacity and endurance of the individual, and the degree of self-sacrifice. The results of the work will find the position of the individual in the hierarchy of the Political Organization of the Nation, and will besides find the consequence of management – almost to profit. The immorality of capitalism is that it separates profit from work, allowing it to profit unearned. In large Poland, the profit will only be available to people who work intentionally and productively. Intentional and productive work can be of dual character: managerial or executive. The entity will accomplish little or more profit depending on the weight of the work done. The harmony between profit and work will fix the bill – it must correspond to the sense of fairness and justice.
(c) the division of national income should first give bread to anyone who wants to work to the Pole, and only after that will enrich individuals.
Achieving the highest pure income is simply a essential means for the Nation to grow the national economy, combat unemployment and supply good surviving conditions for all. The income is simply a powerful means of supplying the Nation with tools of combat and economy, giving the essential material resources to accomplish political goals. The primary rule of the national economy is simply a fair distribution of social income. all Pole must be guaranteed the amount of individual income essential for life. This will consequence in a simplification in the profits of many people who are presently earning above their needs. However, all sacrifices must be made so that any Pole does not separate poorness from national creation. This will be ensured by the Political Organization of the Nation through a bank-resolution apparatus. In the national economy, the amount of profit will depend on whether he has been able to meet his needs. If so, profits from the usage of work property may increase freely until they make opportunities for a general rise in the standard of living.
16. economical reconstruction will be carried out by the Political Organization of the Nation; it will make a fresh system, guide the economy through its professional sections
The Political Organization of the Nation will direct the full issues related to the national economy. The overall planned economy is essential for the reconstruction of the socio-economic system, the eradication of unemployment and the full economical defence of the state. This economy cannot be run by state bureaucracy. Nor can the planned economy be left to associations, not raised ideologically and morally, who primarily care for their own interests. It must be led by professional forces, guided by political ideas. Therefore, members of the Political Organisation of the Nation will be grouped for general political purposes on a territorial basis and, in addition, for economical purposes on a professional basis. The professional sections of the Political Organization of the Nation will direct economical policy, uphold morality and planning in the economy.
17. Delivered by the breakthrough, the spiritual forces of the Nation, the work of the unemployed today, the money, taken from Jews and foreign, parasitising capitalists – will be the basis for the multiple expansion of the national economy.
A prerequisite for sustainable economical improvement is simply a national breakthrough, a shock that will bring out unwitting forces and capabilities, fresh leadership and fresh trust. Only the forces liberated by the breakthrough can supply fresh cash that the economical construction of large Poland requires. Trust in money is not determined by the degree of coverage in gold, but above all by the size of the organised national forces, which run the state and its farm. After the breakthrough, all Poles, both those who are presently working, and those who are unemployed today, will make organized work the greatness of the Nation. Trust in national forces liberated by a breakthrough, will supply credit, first capital must be extracted first of all from where it lies unlawfully. The national economy will receive first capital by taking possessions from the Jews and expropriating abroad capital that is detrimental to the state. In the future abroad capital will be able to operate in Poland only exceptionally, under a peculiar agreement with the state.
18. The basis of the agricultural strategy – a self-contained, full-farmed, indivisible farm, created by the parcelation and co-assase.
The basis of a healthy agricultural strategy is an economical unit that will let the owner to carry out manufacturing, able to supply him with an adequate standard of living, and to meet physical and cultural needs. The peasant farm will be a completely independent production unit, of the most versatile nature possible. The sharing of peasant farms by any way will be prohibited in order to keep the essential maturity. In order to heal the agricultural system, there will be a non-indemnification and a commasation, with the provision of the existing owners.
19. The existence of more agricultural, private and public property will exceptionally be allowed in tiny quantities for production and economical reasons.
There are specified types of agrarian economy (e.g. seed farming) where, due to economical outcomes, management can only take place in larger areas, otherwise it does not accomplish the objective. In specified times, more rural, public and private property will be maintained, but for forests that will be nationalised. In the interests of the national farm, a tiny amount of exemplary land, public or private assets will be preserved. The existence of these centres is justified by the request to regulate agricultural production.
20. Each village will be the territorial unit of the Political Organization of the Nation. The peasant professional section will direct the village as an economical organization.
The Political Organization of the Nation will make from each village a hierarchically defined organizational unit, fulfilling the rule of a government conscious of national citizens. The agrarian group, organized within the ranks of the Political Organization of the Nation, will be watching over the agrarian economy by the peasant professional section. The professional section of the agrarian cluster will regulate the production of individual hosts, set up appropriate production and food cooperatives, and set up circumstantial groups utilizing common agricultural tools.
21. The Political Organization of the Nation, rebuilding the farm, will give the peasant a place in an expanded and nourished craft, trade and industry, will open his way to the city.
Excess agrarian population cannot be condemned to starvation in agrarian areas, it must find a place in cities. tiny cities, crafts and agricultural trade will be the closest area for agrarian development. The peasants will make a burgher layer of indigenously Polish character. specified a layer is essential for the Nation. Its origin will burn the village and facilitate the penetration of culture into the countryside, and the unused spiritual forces of the peasant into the city.
22. Any industry, where the eventual origin of profit is not the owner's work, will be expropriated.
The reason for ownership is the individual manager or executive work of the owner. Where there is no individual executive work, or executive and individual individual responsibility, there will be no property. This will be decided by the professional sections of the political organization industry. Nameless property, based on bearer papers, as in public limited companies, ownership without work – separates profit from work and will so not take place in large Poland. He washed war, utility facilities, any monopolistic plant, natural materials mines will be expropriated and nationalised.
23. The professional sections of the Political Organization of the Nation will grow the manufacture and organise production.
The economical life of manufacture forms an crucial material basis for the political and cultural strength of the Nation. Therefore, the individual areas of the nation must be tailored to the needs of the Nation and meet certain requirements. To this end, the 1st activity of all enterprises, both nationalised and private, will take place according to the established plan, 2. Production will be organised and geared towards gathering common needs, the 3rd banks will conduct a wide scope of financing activities for new, essential sectors of production and, above all, the war industry. The work for the improvement and control of the industrial economical plan will be borne by the professional sections of the Political Organization of the Nation.
24. Wholesale will be public, retail will be private.
The national economy suffers large losses through unnecessary mediation. Hurt must not be a origin of profit, must not increase the spread of industrial and agricultural prices, must service to meet social needs. Agricultural trade wholesalers should go into the hands of cooperatives, industrial product wholesalers not straight sold by the producer, will be run by public professional associations under the supervision of the sect of the Political Nation. The public nature of wholesale trade will prevent private holders from exerting force on further links of intermediaries and conducting a selfish commercial policy. Public wholesalers will have a beneficial impact on price developments in retail, while the private retailer, organically associated with the customer, will supply a reliable image of the request for individual goods. This will let production to make on purpose.
25. All credit institutions will be in the hands of a state or public-private organisation appointed by the professional sections of the Political Organization of the Nation.
Banks are a powerful tool for managing and controlling the farm. In the capitalist system, banks were expanding the economy, and in subjecting it to the private interests of individuals, they were the centre of political and economical influence of money people. This phenomenon is fundamentally immoral. Otherwise it will be in the strategy of large Poland. There, banks will be a tool for economical policy, serving the intent of subjugating the farm to the interests of the Nation, as planned.
GREAT POLAND – A NATIONS
26. The historical mission of Poland is to make an era of Christian nationalism, to gain the East of Europe for Christian civilization and to organize Slavic nations. Only this nation can be called the large 1 who has awareness of his function in the world, and the efforts of all its members are aimed at common purposes, not by mechanical command, but by interior conviction, consciousness, and will. Our Nation's historical mission is those tasks that only our Nation, and no another can fulfill in the world. The phenomenon that changes the face of the civilized planet is the appearance of conscious nations as ultimate social unions. The future of the world’s past depends on whether the nations follow the course of absolute fact that Catholicism holds, or whether they wander on the errors of passing doctrines. Today, the thought of European nations is lost in contradictions. Poles are a uniform and profoundly Catholic nation. Polish national thought is built on Catholic truths, and Polish spiritual thought is overflowing with the spirit of love for the Nation. Therefore, the function of our Nation is to make a truly Christian and truly national civilization. Poland will first appear from the interplay of contradictions and will give the another nations a model of a fresh system. Between the area of the erstwhile Western-Roman civilization and the area of Byzantine civilization lies central Europe. Here Chrobry founded a 3rd empire, reigning in Poland over the Danube and Kiev. Here, among the nations about social and cultural construction, separate from the west and east, there is simply a place for the 3rd Polish, Christian civilization, going to the conquest of the East. Central Europe is predominantly Slavic. The common origin of speech, beliefs, and customs is the intellectual and cultural unity of the Slavs. The request for a unified political line, the request for a Slavic centre. This centre can only be Poland and must be Poland for the East and South of Europe.
27. The Catholic State of the Polish Nation will lead the nations of central Europe against communism and pangermanism.
To the east of Poland there is the mobilisation of the masses to fight for the regulation of communism over the world. To the west of Poland there is the mobilisation of the masses for the regulation of the Germanic race of masters over the world. The future of the planet can only be saved by organizing the Central European nations from the Gulf of Finland to the Adriatic and the Black Sea, nations with a common Christian civilization threatened from the east and west. The fight of ideas, and erstwhile there is simply a request and fight of nations with each of these hostile forces, must lead Poland at the head of the nations of Europe.
RECORD TO large POLAND
28. Through national breakthrough – to large Poland. To the national breakthrough – through the will and sacrifice of the young generation.
