It seems probable now that the Marshal will be given

a fair chance of helping a convulsed country back to Constitutional quiet. A meeting of the National Assembly—the Diet and the Senate sitting together— has been fixed for May 31st. Its business will be to elect a President of the Republic. The next step would be for the temporary Administration which was set up immediately after the coup d'etat to resign, and for a new Administration to be formed. Marshal Pilsudski himself is the most likely candidate for the Presidency, but he may not find that the worship of the Army and of those who revere his record as a patriot of Poland and a victim of Russia—for he was once a Terrorist—are reflected in the National Assembly.
