Basle:
Police raid the homes of Italian communists
and anarchists living here, arresting 25 people, in advance of the train
carrying Belgian Princess Marie Jose to her wedding to Crown Prince Umberto of
Italy in Rome. This is to forestall any
possible attacks on the train, in view of anarchist plots uncovered last month.
Berlin:
The economic downturn worsens: the municipal
council stops construction on 30 buildings in the city due to the financial
crisis. “Savings first” has become a new
slogan of the city government.
Katowice, Poland:
A monument to Polish insurgents in the
1919-21 Silesian Uprisings is bombed and partly destroyed. Local authorities suspect ethnic Germans
unhappy with the division of Silesia between Germany and Poland after the World
War. The Silesian Uprisings were revolts
by ethnic Poles in Silesia seeking to join the newly created Polish state.
The Hague:
At the Second Reparations Conference, a
demand by France for sanctions on Germany should it fail to make its war
debts payments has quickly become the central topic. France insists it should have the right to
invade Germany and occupy portions of its territory if Germany fails to make
its war debt payments. Other nations,
most importantly the United States, disagree.
Germany says it’s willing to allow France the right to sanctions through
the League of Nations if Germany fails to pay its debts, but not directly.
