Wht summing up the histiry of the aircraft export, it needs to be mentioned that the attempts of expansion were a result of excessive development of the aircraft manufactures in comparision with the financial capabilities of Poland. It needs to be highlighted that the export of aircraft equipment conditioned the maintenance of the hight production potential without breaks between the consecutive production cycles. Anather imortant reason for export production was the mobilisation factor as the stock could be made availabe to the Ministry of the Military Affairs if the country's existence was theatened. The expansion of the aircraft industry of the Second Polish Republic was limited not only by the external competition, but primarily by the lack of specialists within SEPEWE (Stowarzyszenie Przemysłu Wojennego , Association of War Industry). The work of Eng Witold Rumbowicz and partially also of Eng Zbigniew Arndt brought little benefit. It also needs to be pointed out that the export of the aircraft equipment conditioned the development of next constructions. If can be said without exaggeration that over the span of ten years the Second Polish Republic appeared in the elitist group of six countries that exported the aircraft equipment. this ascertainment is even moreimportant when we mention that after regaining indepedence Poland lacked constructors as well as manufacturers and traditions.

Unsuccessful attempts to implement serial production of domestic car constructions (CWS) and lorries (SPA) caused further for licence-providers interested in starting automobile manufacturing in Poland. Thus the attention was focused on a Swiss company, Saurer. The negotiations ended with signing the appropriate agreements. Yet the high price of those vehicles prevented the achie Thus the attention was focused on a Swiss company, Saurer. The negotiations ended with signing the appropriate agreements. Yet the high price of those vehicles prevented the achievement of the basic goals, therefore a new agreement was signed, with the Italian producer, Fiat. The licensed cars were manufactured by the State Engineering Works, and distributed by the Polish Fiat. Owing to the licence contract with the Italian owner, serial production was conducted according to the most recent patterns of production organization, also with the use of Herman Hollerith’s statistical-analytical machines.

While evaluating the attempts to discover new reservoirs of petroleum and gas, it is necessary to emphasize the engagement of the state, which, despite the fact that the existing resources allowed to satisfy the automobile needs of the society, noticed the importance of the problem within the next decades. The works were conducted in different directions, byengaging great capital in exploratory drilling, by making appropriate reserves of petroleum, starting import procedures, and conducting far-reaching studies on the production of synthetic fuels.However, they were started late, both in time and in the introduced modifications, and most of the deficiencies resulted from the activities of the French capital, which was onlyinterested in short-sighted profits from the exploitation of the resources; this was visible in exporting low-processed resources. In their majority, these activities turned into rapid explorationof the domestic market, and with such understanding of the system, all costs of search for new reservoirs were marginalized, first of all for economic reasons.

Summarizing the first attempts to launch automobile production in the first decade of the 2nd Polish Republic, it must be stated that the vehicles manufactured in military factorieswere produced by means of workshop methods, in relatively short series. In consequence, this made the produced vehicles expensive and luxurious. Yet they were not the main objectof production, as the majority of it was subject to the authority of MSWojsk. (Ministry of the Military). All productive activities of CWS (Central Automobile Workshops, later PZInż.:State Engineering Factories) were relatively profitable, in comparison to undercarriages first imported from France and Italy, and later produced by ZM (Mechanic Factory) Ursus. Thecrucial mistake committed by the management of MSWojsk. was the issue of choosing the licence-provider. The choice was made dependent on political and financial factors. However,an undisputable achievement was the development of such a production branch that had not existed in the period immediately preceding Poland’s regaining independence.

Shaping of the political and militarylliance between France and Poland in the interwar period had a cyclic character. Initially, the relations were close. French companies engaged yhemselvs financially in the development of war industr as well as fuel sector, extraction industry, and light industry. Plans of modernizing the military forces were also developed in unsion. Representatives of French army played an important role in the process of educating the Polish officers. After the May Coup d'Etat, further cooperation was less close. One of the reasions for this situation was fact that the Polish establishent gathered around Józef Piłsudski was searching for ways of liberating the country from the restraining patronage. Further relations were resumed in 1936. Th efinancial and technilogical help of French was invaluable. However, in spite of the effors of Warsaw and Vilnius, it was not able to change the results of the defeat in September 1939.
