12.In view of the tremendous, sacrifices of property and blood which every war claims of the nation, personel profit through war must be characterized as a crime to the nation.  We therefore demand the confiscation of all war profits.

l7.We demand a land reform adapted to our national needs, the creation of a law for the expropriation without remuneration of land for purposes involving the public good.  Abolition of ground rent and the prevention of land speculation of every kind.*
 
 
* Note, In the face of the mendacious interpretation of Point 17 of the Program of the National Socialiat Party by our opponents, it is necessary to make the following statement:
 
 
As the National Socialist Party takes a stand in favor of private property, it is natural that the passage "expropriation without remuneration" refers
only to the creation of legal means of expropriating, if necessary, property which was acquired in an illicit manner or which is not administered in accordance with considerations of the public good.  Therefore this is directed primarily against Jewish companies speculating in real estate.
