c.ared that the Greek army was no;
so much responsible FOR the recent

himself, because II was Nenizelos who

CIVIL WAR THREAT
SEEN BY OBSERVERS
IN WARSAW CRISIS
Supremacy of Parliament or
President at Issue in
Controversy.

Warsaw. July 24.-{By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The lack of unity be-
tween President Pilsudski and the diet.
felt since the beginning OF the present
cabinet crisis. seemed Monday in the
view of some close observers of the
situation TO be threatening to resolve
itself into something like civil war.
From the moment when, on June z,
President Pilsudski caused the reslg-
nation of the Ponikowski cabinet. the
question has been as to with whom lay
the supreme authority. the president
or the parliament. President Pilsudskl
and the radical party supporting hun
have appeared to take the position
that the president should be the chief
authority in Poland. while the national
lists in the diet were committed to up
hold the supremacy of the parliament
This contest found expression in the
failure of the last two cabinets to
function. The first, headed by NJ.
Slivinski. appointed by the president.
was refused the support of the diet and
Immediately afterward President Pill
sudski refused to approve a cabinet
headed by Albert Kerfanti, supported
by the parliamentary majority party.
These two developments raised such
strong feelings between the chief OF
state and the diet that bitter contests
are forecast.
Repeated attacks by socialists Sun
day against big demonstrations organ
lied BY the nationalists resulted in the
injury of a number of persons.
