Austria: Socialists
and the nationalist heimwehr paramilitary clash in street battles in
Eggenberg. The heimwehr also holds a
protest parade in Vienna against high taxes by the socialist-leaning municipal government.
Moscow: The Council
of People’s Commissars issues a decree authorizing local soviet authorities to
use “drastic measures” to force Kulaks (wealthy peasants) off their lands,
including exile and encouraging poor peasants to “hunt” the Kulaks.
Paris: In the case of
the disappearance of Alexander Koutiepoff, the young German wife of a Russian
employed in a factory near Paris is arrested, consistent with the suspicions
rampant in Paris that Koutiepoff’s disappearance (and reported abduction) was
the work of Soviet agents in France.
