Washington:
The United States issues an appeal to 53
nations that signed the Kellogg-Briand pact, which prohibited war as means of
national policy, to join in pressuring Russia and China to solve their Manchuria
dispute through peaceful means. Separately,
the U.S. notifies Russia and China that the respect with which they are held by
the rest of the world will depend on peaceful resolution. Since the U.S. has no diplomatic relations
with Soviet Russia, that message is delivered via the French government. Great Britain issues a memorandum the same day
saying it is prepared to join in the effort to bring about a peaceful
settlement to the Manchurian dispute.
Japan issues a statement saying it does not intend to support the U.S.
initiative.
Germany:
Berlin: The Federation of German Industries, a large and
influential trade group, releases a statement calling for sweeping economic,
financial and socio-political reforms if Germany is to avoid economic
collapse. The group says high taxes,
excessive government handouts and federal government aid to German states, are
financially unsound and will lead to ruin if not stopped.
Darmstadt: 250 members of the nationalist Stahlhelm paramilitary
group are arrested after clashing with civilians.
