Monday, May 12, 1930

Vienna:  Prince Oscar von Hohenzollern, son of the former Kaiser of Germany, visits Austria’s nationalist Heimwehr paramilitary with 30 members of Germany’s Stahlhelm (also a nationalist paramilitary), of which Prince Oscar is a member.  The timing couldn’t be worse for Austrian Chancellor Johan Schober, trying to disarm such groups as he promised the League of Nations.  In the face of Schober’s intentions, the Heimwehr has announced it intends to hold parades every Sunday through the summer.


Tokyo:  Japan confirms it is sending 25 (not 30) military officers as trainers for China’s nationalist government military.  Chinese communists accuse Japan of meddling in China’s internal affairs.  Meanwhile, a group of reserve naval officers calls on Naval Minister Takarabe Takeshi to resign for the “unpardonable” act of agreeing to the London Naval Treaty.
