> Deputy Minister Dutkiewicz, only just appointed, has resigned: his colleagues would not allow him to purge the personnel of the administration and the police. The right-wing ministers are for "sanation" in words, but in deed nobody wants it.

The newly appointed Deputy Minister of the Interior, Mr. Dutkiewicz, had not, as the saying goes, had time to change his shirt in the new post before he handed in his resignation. As "Kurjer Polski" writes, the cause of the resignation was that neither the other deputy minister, nor Mr. Hübner himself, nor, it seems, Mr. Grabski himself supported Mr. Dutkiewicz's "sanation measures" ("zarządzenia sanacyjne"). Put simply, they did not allow him to carry out that general purge of the personnel of the administration and the police which he rightly considered necessary for genuine sanation…

It seems that the gentlemen ministers feel the need for this "setting right of conditions" only to the extent of talking about it loudly… so that it can be heard in the West… but they have no intention of really changing anything…
