Saturday, 9 November 1929

Berlin:  More bad economic news: a second bank fails.  The Reichsbund’s collapse costs 4,000 civil employees their savings.  This comes barely more than a week after the Bank for Civil Employees failed, wiping out the savings of 5,000 civil employees.

Great Britain:  Bad economic news here too: unemployment is reported to be over 1.2 million. 

China:  Renewed heavy fighting is reported in Honan between rebels and nationalist government forces, with the government claiming victory and a “mountain high” pile of dead.
