United States:
New York: More evidence of
the worldwide economic depression: Francis H. Sisson, Vice President of
Guaranty Trust Company, says export trade by the United States has declined
$117 million since November 1929. Meanwhile, at two different “bread lines” in
the city, more than 1,000 unemployed are reportedly in cue.
Pittsburgh: Newspapers
report more than 1,700 people standing in a bread line at one location, 800 at
another.
Elsewhere:
Moscow:
Notwithstanding the soviet executive’s order of Saturday, the Moscow
soviet votes to close 56 more churches in Moscow and the surrounding
region. The churches are to be converted
to schools, clubs, libraries, restaurants and laboratories. The congregations have the right of appeal,
however.
Hanau, Germany:
Communists attack Paul Rehbein, a Social Democrat member of the Prussian
diet, while he is visiting a cemetery.
They knock him down and beat him with spades so severely he is taken to
a local hospital. The attack is understood
to be in retribution: Rehbein was formerly a communist, but became a socialist.
