Brochure by Ignacy Daszynski (1866-1936), an expression of his disappointment with the policy of the Sanation authorities after the May Coup.

"They were waiting for a salutary word from the mouth of the Marshal, a word - a program, a word around which the vast majority of the nation could concentrate. Such a word Marshal Pilsudski had not yet uttered. All of democratic Poland looked with the highest hopes to the man who proudly called himself a democrat. And after all, democracy is not a venerable word, but a path of development for a modern nation. Democracy demanded first of all from Marshal Pilsudski after the May days a democratic way of resolving the conflict between the government and parliament and new elections. This demand was not heeded and contented itself with humiliating the Sejm." [excerpt]
