What the Party of People's Freedom Wants

person's property for free; landlord lands must go into the land reserve for payment, and this money for the land must be paid to the landlords by the state treasury. Of course, in order not to burden the state with debts, the treasury will pay for the land not at inflated prices, but at a fair (non-market) valuation.

Some propose to take the land from the landlords for free, or to give them not payment, but a small pension so they can live out their lives. The Party of People's Freedom cannot agree with this, because it is unjust. Moreover, it is also dangerous for the state order. To take land from landlords for free means to create tens of thousands of enemies of the new state order; from this, turmoil and civil strife may arise.

It is impossible to take landlord lands for free also because many of them are mortgaged in banks, and bank papers have been bought by other people who will be ruined if the state treasury does not pay the debts for the land to the banks.

Let us now look at how the Party of People's Freedom proposes to make land additions for the farmers working on it.

In every district (or even a part of a district, if the district has varying soil), a sufficient land allotment will be calculated; this means an allotment of as many dessiatines a unit of land measure roughly equal to 2.7 acres as falls to the share of a middle-income peasant household in that area that works its own land and does not hire laborers. For those rural communities and individual farmers (farmsteaders) whose land turns out to be less than the calculated sufficient allotment, land will be added from the district land reserve. If there is not enough land in the district for such an addition, then some families, in case of their agreement, will need to relocate to other districts or provinces where there is more land.
