Summary/Abstract: Ownership and national relations determine in a positive and negative sense an economic andsocial life of the state and the region (in the case of the autonomous Silesian Province). And therefore,in the interwar period, the Polish governmental and industrial spheres, in the name of the good ofthe state and society, initiated activities conducive to polonisation of heavy industry in Upper Silesia(these actions caused numerous conflicts between the state authority and German capital). Therewere two objectives of the above actions: increasing the ownership of Polish capital (of course atthe expense of German capital) and deepening economic ties with the internal market, which in turnfavoured the increase of employment of Polish specialists in local industry.
