Friday, July 11, 1930


Germany:
Leipzig:  The courts deal Wilhelm Frick, nazi Minister of the Interior and Education in the state of Thuringia, another blow when they declare unconstitutional his “hate prayer” which he has introduced in Thuringian schools.

Berlin:  Meanwhile, an ordinary automobile accident in the capital leads to evidence that nazis may have been planning a coup attempt.  A man and woman riding a motorcycle, killed in the crash, are found by their documents to be active members of the nazi party and transporting materials referencing the coup plot, which leads police to a large stash of arms.

Tokyo:  The cabinet of Prime Minister Osachi Hamaguchi decides to move forward with plans to present the London Naval Treaty for ratification by the Privy Council, without waiting for approval from the navy’s officers.  This despite earlier statements from some Privy Council members that they would not approve the treaty without the navy’s agreement.  Cabinet members nonetheless express confidence the treaty will be ratified.
