NEW PLATFORM.
Consolidate Poland's Forces of Construction. CONCENTRATE ON DEFENCE. (Received 11 a.m.) WARSAW, February 22. Broadcasting throughout Poland and receiving an attentive hearing in the open air through loud-speakers, despite a heavy snowstorm, Colonel Adam Koch, commander of the Legionnaires, announced a new political platform for the consolidation of all Polish constructive forces which was drawn up at the order of Marshal Rydz-Smigly, Minister of War.
The programme will limit Parliamentary powers, concentrate on defence, protect Catholicism and utterly oppose Communism. Colonel Koch avoided violent anti-Semitism, urged by the Right Wing, but a steady anti-Jewish economic drive is expected. Opposition parties do not favour the programme.
