Wednesday, July 2, 1930: Kapp Putsch Participants Pardoned

Berlin:  The Reichstag passes a bill granting amnesty for political crimes committed during the six years after the World War, except for the murder of ministers.  This will pardon participants in the Kapp Putsch, a coup attempted by nationalists and monarchists in 1920. 

Rome:  Italy responds to the U.S. Smoot-Hawley tariff with a tariff increase of its own -- on imported automobiles.  Depending on the model car, the increase can be 110 to 125%.
