The principle of justice and equality of treatment for all, the new Prime Minister declared, must be carried cut by all branches of the government.
To balance the budget, M. Koscialkowski announced the increase in the income tax and the enactment of a special tax for government employes. In order to encourage agriculture, he said, taxes affecting the rural population will be reduced.
