Germany:
Riots break out in three cities around the
country, with five killed and 20 seriously injured, as communists observe the anniversary of the 1919 death of Rosa Luxemberg, a founder
and early leader in the German communist party. By nightfall, many of the country’s largest
cities are under extra and heavily armed police guard.
The Hague:
At the Second Reparations Conference, France secures
agreement from the delegates that the World Court of the League of Nations will
judge whether any moratorium by Germany on war debt payments is justified. If the court decides it’s not, France
reserves the right to use military force against Germany. Ironically, it is rumored that the German
delegation’s contempt of Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht’s
conduct at this conference probably helped secure Germany’s acquiescence in France’s
proposal.
London:
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald announces
that, consistent with the manifesto issued by his Labor Party yesterday, the
British government would seek the abolition of the battleship at the upcoming
London Naval Conference.
