Manchuria:
The Russian conquest of the town of
Manzhouli is complete. Some 2,000
Manchurian/Chinese soldiers are reported dead.
Mopup fighting continues, as well as pursuit of Manchurian forces that
broke out of the Russian encirclement. Meanwhile,
soviet warplanes reportedly bomb Mutanchiang, destroying a Chinese depot where
aircraft were stored.
Elsewhere:
Sofia: A national demonstration is held against
Bulgaria’s war debt requirements, which, like Germany’s, are terms from the World
War. A two-hour work stoppage is staged,
and raucous crowds gather outside the French and British legations.
Cologne: At a meeting of the Cologne Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, industrialists warn that Germany is courting disaster in
this economic downturn, borrowing too much and consuming reserves. They urge a complete economic overhaul and
relief from direct taxation.
Prague: Another anti-Semitic mob scene at a central
Europe university – a gang of Czech fascists beats Jewish students at a tech
school, then clashes with police.
Russia: The government puts more of its citizens on death
row – 10 Kulaks (rich peasants) are condemned to death for anti-soviet
agitation, profiteering and opposing the government’s grain collection
campaign. Others received sentences of 3
to 10 years for the same activities.
Cherbourg, France: The French navy launches the largest
submarine ever built – the Surcouf. The submarine is said to be the fastest and
most powerful vessel of its kind in the world.
China: The nationalist government says its troops
have taken Tengfeng from the rebels.
