Sunday, 16 February 1930

Geneva:  A “tariff truce conference” opens under the auspices of the League of Nations, attended by 27 European nations.  Delegates will seek ways to reduce or otherwise minimize negative consequences of protective tariffs by individual nations, especially in view of the worldwide economic downturn.

London:  The London Naval Conference hits a delay, as French Prime Minister Andre Tardieu has to leave to deal with political issues at home, as well as a personal illness.
