| Col. Adam Koc organized the Camp of National Unity, intended to be an all-inclusive union of those supporting the government. Its program called for maintenance of the constitution of 1935, popular support for the army as the shield of national existence, anti-Communism, distribution of land to the peasants, Polonization of minorities, and so on. In reply to this move the workers and peasants in the same month joined in a Workers', Peasants', and Intellectuals' Group, opposed to Koc and his camp. Peasant strikes became widespread and led to some bloodshed. | 1 |

| Col. Koc resigned leadership of the camp to Gen. Stanislas Skwarczynski, who represented a somewhat more conciliatory wing of the government group. On April 21 the camp broke definitely with the Union of Young Poland, an out-and-out Fascist and violently anti-Semitic organization founded by Koc. | 2 |
