Wednesday, 20 November 1929

Vienna:  

Coup fears rattle Austria.  The government receives reports that the nationalist Heimwehr paramilitary might attempt a coup.  A beefed-up police presence is deployed to guard key public facilities. 

Manchuria:  

Nationalist government head Chiang Kai-shek complains to the world that Russia has disregarded its international treaties by its invasion of Manchuria.  Meanwhile, the fighting in Manzhouli is reportedly winding down, with Chinese forces surrendering or fleeing, offering little to no resistance against the advancing Russians.
