Vatican City: Pope Pius XII warns the United States that it
must “beware lest bolshevism spread in America at this moment of financial
depression and unemployment.” Speaking
in a private audience with James H.A. Ryan, Rector of The National Catholic
University in Washington, the Pope says, “This is just the ripe time for the
spread of bolshevism. The people of the
United States do not realize how far bolshevism has spread. We hear that, following the market crashes,
there has been considerable unemployment.
When the number of people are out of work and when business leaders are
crippled by depression and unable to care for them, this is a favorite period
for the introduction and development of Bolshevism.”
Weimar,
Germany: Wilhelm Frick, nazi Minister of the Interior and Education in
Thuringia, is at it again. Rumors circulate
that Frick intends to try to help nazi party head Adolf Hitler gain German
citizenship, for example by appointing him as a police officer in
Thuringia. By law, this would confer on
Hitler automatic citizenship. The nazis
evidently hope to avoid the same treatment of Hitler as recently happened to Waldemar Pabst, who, being a German citizen, was
deported from Austria for his revolutionary activities (see June 15).
Rome: In response to France’s recent gesture of
suspending naval construction, Italy announces it will do the same for six
months. This is considered a significant
improvement in relations between the two countries.
