Thursday, 9 January 1930

Rome:  

France rejects Italy’s earlier proposal for naval parity between the two countries, bringing to a standstill the negotiations by the two nations to reach a preliminary understanding prior to the London Naval Conference.  The Italian Foreign Ministry says it views negotiations as at an impasse. 

Elsewhere: 

Austria:  The worldwide economic downturn grows: unemployment here reaches 300,000. 

Great Britain:  More bad economic news: unemployment here exceeds 1.5 million.
