Germany:
Robert Ley, southern Rhineland party leader
for the national socialist (nazi) party and editor of the anti-Semitic
newspaper Westdeutsche Beobachter,
loses an appeal to the German Supreme Court on his conviction of having defamed
the Jewish faith by asserting that the Talmud, one of Judaism’s central texts,
prescribes ritual murder for its adherents.
The Hague:
Tensions rise at the Second Reparations conference. The German delegation consistently asserts the
right to a moratorium on war debt payment whenever Germany needs it for its own
financial health. Additionally, the
delegates say they cannot give final approval to Hague proposals without
consulting the Reichsbank Board -- by
which they are understood to mean Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht, who is
due to arrive at the conference soon and whose presence, it is feared, will
disrupt the proceedings. Philip Snowden,
British Chancellor of the Exchequer, scolds the Germans to stop the “needless
delays” and get to work.
