June 19,1928 Budget The Committee of the Senate which started debates on the budget - accepted the budget passed without the Diet without any change The attitude of the Senate's Committee to the budget was a surprise for everybody as it has been generally understood that the Government was not pleased with the form of the budget approved by the Diet and expected the Senate to restitute the original Governmental budget. There is a number of rumours concerning this decision. It has been established that Col.Slawek and Senator Roman had a conference with Marshal Pilsudski on the subject last Saturday and that the decision of the Sen-.te has been taken on the desire of the Marshal. The Govermmental press states that the Government decided to make the Senate approve the budget as it was as in case of amendments the budget would have to return to the Diet which would take a lot of time while air ady on the first of April expires the provisional budget. In case the amendments of the Senate would have been rejected by § majority lower than 11/20 of the entire Diet - the bill, would have been nor accepted neither rejected . The Government fearing •this possibility preferred to maintain It as it is.
