Resettlement, mixed settlement, emigration, national biological power [biologische Volkstumskraft]
Short consideration of the prerequisites for a political legal system of the peoples. [Volkspolitische Rechtsgestaltung]
1 a. Resettlement (pages 6-8).
For the carrying out of costly and long-term measures for the increase of agricultural production, the Governmental-General can at the most absorb 1 to 1.5 million resettlers, as it is already over-populated. * * * By further absorption of 1.6 million resettlers, the 1925 Reich census figure of 133 inhabitants per square kilometer would be reached, which practically because of already existing rural over-population and lack of industry would result in a double over-population.
This figure of 1.6 million will barely suffice to transfer from the Reich:
The Jews from the liberated East (over 600,000), parts of the remaining Jews, preferably the younger age groups from Germany proper, Austria, Sudetengau and the Protectorate (altogether over 1 million).
The Polish intelligentsia who have been politically active in the past, and potential political leaders.
