Germany:
Wilhelm Frick, nazi Minister of the Interior and Education in the state of Thuringia, issues an order that will revoke the licenses of entertainment establishments that present black performers or their music. Frick says he is acting to save Germany from “negro culture,” which he says is corrupting morals in the country.Berlin: New Chancellor Heinrich Bruening’s package of financial reform bills (mostly taxes) and agrarian relief passes the Reichstag by slim margins – in the case of the budget bill, by just four votes. Bruening’s authority to dissolve the Reichstag, granted him by President Paul von Hindenburg, again looms large over the proceedings, with political parties sending cars and in some cases even planes out to bring legislators in for the vote, rather than face elections for a new parliament. The measures implement new taxes on tobacco, sugar, beer and mineral water.

New York: The Rand School of Social Science, a socialist
institution, releases its American Labor Year Book for 1930, which states that
the growing worldwide unemployment problem caused by the Great Depression is
worst in Russia.
