Bucharest: Carol II, Prince of Romania, who renounced
his right to the throne in 1925 after an extra-marital affair, flies into
Bucharest in the middle of the night and is proclaimed king. He is welcomed by his brother and several
regiments of the military, and hailed by the public as savior of the nation, which
is struggling in the Depression. The person
he would replace on the throne is his own son, Michael, age 8. Carol says he will only rule until Michael
comes of age. The National Assembly is
said to be overwhelmingly in favor of this development, and the prime minister has
resigned to make way for it.
Rome: More military display by Italy. The air force holds a mock combat involving
20 divisions of warplanes to demonstrate the nation’s advances in air power. This comes the day before France is scheduled
to hold its own air show.
