New Phase of the Polish Crisis

the workers and peasants has already
given some impetus to it. The COM
plete collapse of Polish industry and
the failure of the Wojciechewski gov
eminent to do anything for any group
except the rich peasantry and lower
sections of the big landowners created
situation in which the trade unions,
under socialist influence. were willing
at first to support Pilsudski on the
theory that he could not possibly be
worse than the government he over
threw.
A GENERAL strike was called in
"A support of the Pilsudski coup,
mainly to prevent the movement of OPP
position troops, but the failure of Pill
sudsh to put forward any program
whatsoever while demanding at the
same time endorsement of an extern
sion of his dictatorial powers has
alienated most of his working-class
support.
In Posen, where Pilsudsh has little
if any following, the forces gathered
around General Halter, having the
backing of German interests and sym
pathetic French support as well, have
set up what is virtually an independ-
ent government. It is thoroly reac-

encouragement.

so delicate that they have no time or
