Berlin:
Communists participating in the funeral
procession of two fallen comrades clash repeatedly with police, hurling rocks
and coal. Police beat unruly funeral participants with
clubs, while evidently sympathetic communists hurl coal and stones on the police from windows
above the streets. Two police are injured; 53
communists are taken into custody, 10 eventually arrested. Meanwhile, the first meeting of the new city
council for the year comes to an abrupt halt in the evening, when communist
council members cause such an uproar that normal business can’t be
conducted.
The Hague:
At the Second Reparations Conference, Germany
promises it won’t pay the U.S. war debts over others, easing the tension caused
by the separate deal Germany and the U.S. had struck prior to the conference.
China:
The civil war is flaring up again. Nationalist government forces reportedly rout
communist rebel troops in Honan, capturing 10,000.
