The lower house of the Diet stood fast upon the Senate's slashing of the budget by 500,000złoties and its opposition to two members of the Cabinet, twice thrust upon it.
The Polish Government has decided to levy an export duty of 15złoty per 100 kilos on rye, as a result of the poor crops in 1923 and the high prices which have prevailed during the last few months.
A special working fund administered by the State Agricultural Bank was established to meet all expenses connected with the measures necessary for improving the agrarian structure of the country. In the beginning it amounted to 900,000,000złotys. After a cancellation of part of its obligations due on small farms, the balance by December 31, 1938, was more than 667,000,000złotys.

Accordingly, if the estate is worth 90,000złotys and the deceased leaves a widow A, and two children B and C, and B has already received 60,000złotys, the calculation is as follows:- the value of a notional estate equals 150,000złotys (90,000 + 60,000) and each share amounts to 50,000złotys.

At one extreme, Symeon Szydłowski, the castellan of Żarnów, suggested exempting parish priests with less than 3,000złotys from the new tax. At the other, Suchodolski protested that poor nobles with families on 500złotys a year would also find defenders.
