The article is the question of the relation of the Church Lomza political parties during the Second Republic. It found that the sympathies of the Diocese of Lomza deposited on the side of the Catholic-national groups. Norma was also that none of the party software struggling with the Church and religion, or not recognizing the principles and norms of Catholic could not count on Catholics. The latter groups were included mainly PSL “Liberation”, PPS and Communist parties. Emphasized the fact that the political options of Catholics should be consistent with the value system of the Gospel. This applies to the fact that Catholics supported the forces and political movements which, in relation to the basic ethical took a position contrary to the moral and social teaching of the Church.

The article is devoted to the problems of public administration which were present in Gazeta Administracji i Policji Państwowej in the year 1923. The choice of the 5th annual volume (of 1923) was not accidental as there have been three changes in ruling cabinet of General W. Sikorski, W. Witos and W. Grabski in that year. Each of them had ambitious plans to unify and streamline Polish administration. It was in that year when the Commission for Administrative Reform was established, which extensively dealt with administration matters and prepared guidelines for the introduction of a uniform system for the whole country’s self-government bodies, at all levels of territorial division of the country, in accordance with the principles of the March Constitution. The fall of the committee, together with the resignation of Sikorski’s government, did not thwart its work, and another cabinet of “Chjeno-Piast” coalition, based on the findings of its predecessors, prepared a draft of self-government acts and sent them to the Parliament, but without a draft concerning the provinces. We could read about all these facts on the pages of Gazeta Administracji i Policji Państwowej, which reliably informed of any changes in governments, presenting the profiles of prime ministers together with their political programs, as well as profiles of interior ministers and most important officials of the ministry, responsible for the shape of changes in public administration.

The aim of this article is the presentation of the scope of responsibility of employers towards workers’ families in Poland in the interwar period. The article also shows how those duties were fulfilled. This issue appeared in Europe with the development of social insurance programmes and labour laws. The Second Republic of Poland built its own legal system for employees’ families. It included health insurance and benefits, families’ pensions and funeral allowances. Certain obligations were also imposed on employers in the context of labour law. The most important was the obligation to open nursery schools for the children of women who worked in factories.

The final months of World War I were marked by the concept of national self-determination. At that time Józef Piłsudski and his followers were putting into practice the so-called federal idea, which aimed at the maintaining of Polish influence in the territories of the pre-partition Poland. However, attempts to put this concept into practice faced national aspirations of Lithuanians and Ukrainians. These two nations intended to build their own states. Despite spectacular victory of the Polish army over the Red Army at Warsaw, the federal idea failed. The final end to the project came in 1921. The article presents a wider historical and political context for the foreign policy visions of Piłsudski and his aspiration to create a federal structure within the Polish borders.

In the Second Republic of Poland health protection was insufficiently developed. There were very few doctors, nurses and hospitals. Only people who were insured or the wealthy had access to medical treatment. The majority of citizens, especially rural resi-dents, could not use health care. The health policy of the state was passive for many years. Changes appeared only in the mid-thirties. The aim of health policy was a public health service for all citizens. The authorities declared their support for this idea on a number of occasions and the parliament accepted the law of public health in June 1939. It was the basis for the construction of common access to healthcare in Poland. To achieve this aim, health centres were built and the compulsory medical practice for the doctors was introduced in villages. The beginning of the Second World War prevented the enforcement of this Act. However, the attempt to create a public health service made in the Second Republic of Poland was a proof of progress which has been made in state health policy.

The aim of this article is the presentation of the range of responsibility of employers towards workers’ families in Poland in the interwar period. The article also shows how these duties were realised. This problem appeared in Europe with the development of a social insurance programme and labour law.

Shortly after Poland regained its independency in November 1918, the Chief of State Józef Pilsudski signed two decrees introducing the patent law in the country and bringing the Polish Patent Office into existence. In recent literature, the introduction of both decrees has been acknowledged as the starting point of legal patent protection in the independent Poland, while it is largely forgotten to whom the whole preparatory work should have been attributed. The draft of the patent law signed by Pilsudski has been worked out well before November 1918, by the Ministry of Industry of the Provisional Council of State of the Kingdom of Poland, a quasi-independent governing body established by the German and Austro-Hungarian occupying forces. This article attempts to reconstruct a contemporary discourse upon that issue, while explaining at the same time the reasons that made the enacted law very much imperfect. This work is based mainly on authentic documents from that era, and, since it uses both legal and technical writings, it is a novel attempt to address this issue. This paper argues that deficiencies of the first Polish patent legislation resulted from inability or, perhaps, unwillingness of the Ministry of Industry to seek advices from the experts in patent law – lawyers and patent agents, unquestionably being the most predisposed to this task.

Wkrótce po odzyskaniu niepodległości przez Polskę w listopadzie 1918 r. Naczelnik Państwa Józef Piłsudski podpisał dwa dekrety wprowadzające prawo patentowe w kraju i ustanawiające Urząd Patentowy Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. W najnowszej literaturze wprowadzenie obu dekretów zostało uznane za punkt wyjścia do prawnej ochrony patentowej w niepodległej Polsce, podczas gdy w dużej mierze zapomniano, do kogo należało przypisać całą pracę przygotowawczą. Projekt prawa patentowego podpisany przez Piłsudskiego został opracowany na długo przed listopadem 1918 r. przez Ministerstwo Przemysłu Tymczasowej Rady Państwa Królestwa Polskiego, quasi-niezależny organ zarządzający ustanowiony przez okupację niemiecką i austro-węgierską siły. Niniejszy artykuł próbuje zrekonstruować współczesny dyskurs na ten temat, jednocześnie wyjaśniając powody, dla których uchwalone prawo było bar-dzo niedoskonałe. Praca ta opiera się głównie na autentycznych dokumentach z tamtej epoki, a ponieważ wykorzystuje zarówno pisma prawne, jak i techniczne, jest to nowa próba rozwiązania tego problemu. Artykuł niniejszy dowodzi, że uchybienia w pierwszym polskim prawie patentowym wynikały z niemożności lub, być może niechęci Ministerstwa Przemysłu do szukania porad od ekspertów w dziedzinie prawa patentowego - prawników i rzeczników patentowych, niewątpliwie najbardziej predysponowanych do tego zadania.

The paper describes the role of local authorities of poviat and commune level in the Second Republic of Poland in the area of widely understood support for the functioning of education system in common schools in rural areas in the period between 1918-1939. The paper outlines the main rules of the functioning of local authorities, paying attention to its democracy between 1918-1926 and its drastic distortions and restrictions introduced by the political camp of Marshal Józef Pilsudski, particularly between 1933-1939 when the reform of local authorities was introduced in a way that it could be beneficial for this political camp. The subsequent part of the article presents, among others, forms of cultivating the memory about the teachers who fought for the Polish education under foreign occupation.

This article is a historical and political analysis of the sporting events of the interwar period. It is a consideration of five football matches that the national teams of Poland and Germany played against each other during the Third German Reich, between 1933 and 1938. Apart from their obvious sporting value, they carried significant political implications. The latter stemmed from the volatile political relations between Warsaw and Berlin following the Nazis’ rise to power in 1933. Triggering enormous public interest in both countries, the matches became a valuable instrument for the political and sporting elites of Poland and the Third Reich in creating political objectives in their mutual relations. Such an approach was facilitated by a progressive subordination of sport to state institutions in both countries. The above aspects are the object of analysis of sporting events from the interwar period using the historical and decision-making method. The analyzed events are the five matches that the national teams of Poland and Germany played in the then (and now) most popular sport discipline i.e. football during the period of the existence of the Third German Reich in the years 1933-1938.

After a long period of the native legal culture development, a systematic increase in the importance of the Bar in the social and political life of the country and the strengthening of its influence, there was a period much worse for lawyers. The loss of independence for more than one hundred years and the necessity of functioning in the structures of absolute monarchies caused many negative effects in the mutual relations between attorneys and their clients, primarily in the area of the legal professional privilege. Despite the fact that Poland regained its independence, the next century brought new, difficult challenges in the process of shaping the relations between lawsuit participants.

Po długotrwałym okresie rozwoju rodzimej kultury prawnej, systematycznego wzrostu znaczenia palestry w życiu społeczno-politycznym kraju oraz umacniania jej wpływów, nastąpił czas zdecydowanie gorszy dla prawników. Utrata niepodległości na ponad sto lat i konieczność funkcjonowania w strukturach monarchii absolutnych wywołały szereg negatywnych skutków we wzajemnych relacjach adwokatów z ich klientami, przede wszystkim w zakresie prawa do zachowania tajemnicy adwokackiej. Kolejne stulecie zaś, mimo odzyskania niepodległości przez Polskę, przyniosło nowe, trudne wyzwania w procesie kształtowania stosunków uczestników postępowania sądowego.

This article aims to present the views of Archbishop of Krakow, Prince Adam Stefan Sapieha, on the concordat signed between the Holy See and the Polish Republic on 10 February 1925. The topic of this paper suggests the critical view on this issue. Krakow bishop showed a negative line from the beginning of the negotiations between the Polish and the Vatican. Throughout the all period of his pastoral ministry, he was asupporter of the separation of church and state, and claimed that the activities of these institutions should be regulated by the constitution or, in particular cases, by special international agreements. He expressed opposition to obligation of the oath to the state by the clergy as well as to insufficient impact of the church on the education of school children. These views were minor ones but not isolated. Critical line represented by Adam Stefan Sapieha against the Concordat of 1925, during the preparation, adoption and ratification, was primarily based on the view of the Bishop on the place of the church in the state and its social and salvific mission.

The article discusses a unique Polish-state institution functioning in the interwar period, the Polish Committee for Sports Events in Berlin (PKISB). Through sport, its representatives channelled the ambition to shape Poland’s favourable image in the German Reich which was hostile to the Second Polish Republic. In the long run, the Committee proved to be an instrument for improving general Polish-German relations. The article focuses on an initial phase of PKISB activity, when, after Adolf Hitler came to power, the future of political relations between the hitherto antagonised neighbours was at stake. The activities of this institution have been analysed mainly with reference to football as the most popular sport in Poland and Germany.

Artykuł poddaje omówieniu wyjątkową polską instytucję państwową działającą w okresie międzywojennym, Polski Komitet Imprez Sportowych w Berlinie (PKISB). Jej przedstawiciele poprzez sport realizowali ambicję kształtowania korzystnego wizerunku Polski we wrogiej II RP Rzeszy Niemieckiej. W dłuższej perspektywie Komitet okazał się narzędziem poprawy ogólnych stosunków polsko-niemieckich. Artykuł koncentruje się na początkowej fazie działalności PKISB, kiedy po dojściu do władzy Adolfa Hitlera stawką była przyszłość stosunków politycznych między dotychczas skłóconymi sąsiadami. Działalność tej instytucji została przeanalizowana głównie w odniesieniu do piłki nożnej jako najpopularniejszego sportu w Polsce i Niemczech.

Roman Henry Hausner (1883–1947) was a high-ranking state official in the Ministry of Home Affairs with a vast number of publications in the field of public law. The aim of the article was to present Hausner’s biography from the point of view of his career as an official as well as his creative activity including his role in the process of implementing public administration reforms in interwar Poland. On the one hand, the article presents the life of Hausner as an official and a member of a few committees on public administration in interwar Poland in chronological order. On the other hand, the study presents Hausner’s views concerning fundamental institutions of administrative law. These two elements do not constitute separate parts of the article since his work in the Ministry of Home Affairs and writing were presented as a certain whole. Such a picture is created by the biography of the protagonist of this paper who combined the practical aspect of his work as an official with the issues of writing. The author of the article argues that Hausner as a co-creator of many important drafts of legal acts, a propagator of far-reaching reforms in the field of public administration system and a prolific writer can be considered a significant figure of the interwar doctrine of administrative law.

Roman Henryk Hausner (1883–1947) był wysokiej rangi urzędnikiem państwowym w Ministerstwie Spraw Wewnętrznych, o bogatym dorobku publikacyjnym w dziedzinie prawa publicznego. Celem niniejszego artykułu było przedstawienie biografii Hausnera w perspektywie jego kariery urzędniczej i działalności twórczej, z uwzględnieniem roli, jaką odegrał w procesie reform administracji państwowej w Polsce międzywojennej. Z jednej strony w artykule przedstawiono w ujęciu chronologicznym życie Hausnera jako urzędnika i członka szeregu komisji do spraw reorganizacji administracji publicznej w okresie międzywojennym. Z drugiej strony zaś zaprezentowano jego poglądy w zakresie podstawowych instytucji prawa administracyjnego. Te dwa elementy nie stanowią odrębnych części artykułu, ponieważ praca w Ministerstwie Spraw Wewnętrznych i działalność pisarska Hausnera zostały przedstawione jako pewna całość. Taki obraz tworzy bowiem biografia bohatera niniejszego tekstu, który praktyczny aspekt swojej pracy jako urzędnika ściśle łączył z problematyką swojej działalności twórczej. Autor artykułu postawił tezę, że Hausner jako współtwórca ważnych projektów aktów prawnych, propagator daleko idących reform w dziedzinie ustroju administracji państwowej i płodny twórca może być uznany za znaczącą postać międzywojennej doktryny prawa administracyjnego.

The times of the Second Polish Republic were a particularly important period in the development of Polish archeology, because after Poland regained independence, the first state institution was established to organize the protection of archaeological monuments throughout the country. It was the State Group of Prehistoric Monuments Conservators functioning in the years 1920–1928. Their activities in the Kielce voivodeship brought particularly interesting results. Conservators and delegates of the State Group of Prehistoric Monuments Conservators did a lot in the field of inventory and protection of archaeological monuments in the Kielce region, undertaking surface and excavation rescue research, as well as popularizing archeology among the inhabitants of the region. The result of their activities was the registration, discovery, and exploration of many archaeological sites, including such valuable ones as a complex of multicultural sites in Złota near Sandomierz and in Książnice Wielkie, and a unique complex of striped flint mines in Krzemionki near Ostrowiec. The sites discovered at that time in the Kielce voivodeship are still the subject of interest and research to Polish archaeologists.

The paper entitled ‘Reform of the Notaries between 1929 and 1933’ discusses the process of formation of the Polish notary after the country regained its independence. The Codification Commission as well as some eminent lawyers gathered around Leopold Wladyslaw Jaworski and Jakub Glass undoubtedly had a great influence on the creation of organizational and legal structures. The Decree of President Ignacy Moscicki, signed on 27th October 1933 terminated a difficult process which had been permanently investigated by the lawyers and politicians in the Second Republic. The notary solutions developed by them were one of the most modern ones in Europe at that time

In the article the international treaties and internal laws and orders of Poland and the Czechoslovakia, which regulate the linguistic rights of national minorities in field of education are studiedInternal legislation of the Czechoslovakia guaranteed free use of minority language both orally and in writing, and provided the right for national minorities to study in their native language in public primary, secondary and higher educationOn the contrary, in the constitutional acts of Poland only the right of minorities to study their mother tongue in public primary schools was guaranteed. Due the prevalence of Ukrainians in Galicia, the Polish authorities with respect to these territories performed different national and language policy aimed at deepening regional differences and assimilation of the Ukrainian population.

The idea of the article is to describe Polish interwar ideas of a desired religious system of relationships between the organisation of the studies of law and an appropriate level of training for persons who prepare for and those who already perform the judicial service. Determining convictions concerning competences, which constitute the concept of the appropriate preparation, as well as stating which of the competences and to what extent should, according to the participants of the debate, be obtained as a part of university education were considered essential.In the paper the specifics of a widely understood social context of discussion (an increasing supply of lawyers, a “shallow labour market”, an instrumental employment relationship of the country with the law youth) and the state of regulation are outlined. In further considerations, representative concepts of the reform of the studies of law are listed and compared. Basic axis of controversy (the role of the historical items and general education, the need and range of the specialisation of the studies, combining studies and practice, the desirability of preserving a unified character of the studies) is also indicated. At the same time, it shows that it was at least partially based on a misconception (especially the debate concerning the role of general education and the specialisation of the studies).

Celem artykułu jest deskrypcja międzywojennych polskich wyobrażeń o pożądanym układzie relacji między organizacją studiów prawniczych a odpowiednim poziomem przygotowania osób sposobiących się do pełnienia oraz już pełniących służbę sędziowską. Za kluczowe uznano ustalenie przekonań o kompetencjach konstytuujących pojęcie odpowiedniego przygotowania oraz określenie tego, które spośród nich i w jakim stopniu wedle uczestników debaty powinny być wytworzone na etapie edukacji uniwersyteckiej. W pracy zarysowano specyfikę szeroko rozumianego społecznego kontekstu dyskusji (rosnąca podaż prawników, „płytki” rynek pracy, instrumentalny stosunek państwa do młodzieży prawniczej) oraz stan regulacji prawnej. W dalszej części rozważań zestawiono i porównano reprezentatywne koncepcje reformy studiów prawniczych oraz wskazano na zasadnicze osie sporu (rola przedmiotów historycznych i wykształcenia ogólnego, potrzeba i ewentualny zakres specjalizacji studiów, ich powiązania z praktyką, celowość zachowania jednolitego charakteru studiów), wykazując zarazem, że przynajmniej w części był on ufundowany na nieporozumieniu (zwłaszcza debata dotycząca roli wykształcenia ogólnego i specjalizacji studiów).
