Lung Ching-Tsun (Jilin City), Manchuria: Bands of Korean communists launch coordinated
attacks on Japanese facilities here, in Yenki, and at other towns in this
district on the border with Korea. The
communists burn and bomb Japanese consulates, utilities and schools, but the
only casualty is an injured police officer.
Japanese consular police and Chinese troops band together to drive the
attackers away.
Berlin: Joseph
Goebbels, nazi member of the Reichstag, is fined the equivalent of US$200
instead of getting the nine-month prison term requested by state prosecuting
attorneys, for insulting President Paul von Hindenburg in an article he
published in December in a nazi newspaper.
The article, titled “Is President von Hindenburg Still Alive?”
excoriated Hindenburg for his “friendship with Jewish and Marxist
advisors.”
Meanwhile, more bad economic news: Paul Moldenhauer, Minister
of Finance, reports to the Reichstag that government revenues are still
falling, but spending is not, resulting in a projected annual deficit of US$180
million.
