Tuesday, May 20, 1930

Ludwigshaven, Germany:  Consistent with yesterday’s announcement, the commander of French forces occupying the Rhineland gives orders for the first 2,000 troops to prepare to leave.  A total of 40,000 troops will evacuate by June 30. 

Prague:  A socialist newspaper alleges that Italian dictator Benito Mussolini has plans to put Otto von Hapsburg, the last crown prince of Austria-Hungary, on the throne of Hungary as part of his designs to dominate eastern Europe. 


Milan:  Meanwhile, “Il Duce” keeps up the speechmaking.  At a ceremony honoring the fascist dead and inaugurating a new headquarters for the fascist party here, Mussolini calls fascism the “hope of Europe.”
