Romania: The anti-Semitic troubles worsen. Now units of the Iron Guard, an
ultra-nationalist paramilitary and political organization, are reported to be
marching toward Bessarabia to join the farmer uprising that started two days
ago. Jewish members of parliament request
an immediate audience with King Carol.
Meanwhile, an
assassination attempt is made on Education Minister Constantin Angelescu. His assailant, a young student, is believed
to be among the ringleaders of the anti-Semitic violence.
Frankfort-on-Oder,
Germany: About 1,700 communists clash
with police. In the midst of a meeting,
the communists attempt to surround and disarm the police guarding (and
watching) them. Reinforcements in the
form of a riot squad swoop in, but the communists attack them too with clubs
and flag poles they tear down. The mob
finally disperses when police open fire.
Tokyo: The Supreme Military Council, a high-level advisory body to the government, is reported to be deeply
divided over whether Japan should ratify the London Naval Treaty. The naval representatives on the council in
particular say the treaty is not adequate for Japan’s defense needs.
Moscow: Maxim Litvinoff is named Commissar for
Foreign Affairs. He’s been acting
commissar for some time during his predecessor’s (Georges Chicherin) ill
health, and is a long time foreign ministry official.
