Sunday, July 20, 1930


Berlin:  A report out today shows Germany’s unemployment holding steady at 19.8%.  Meanwhile, in Wiesbaden and Mainz, President Paul von Hindenburg is in the midst of his tour of the liberated Rhineland.  But newspaper reporters observe that the president seems unusually weary; he cancels his appearance at a children’s pageant, for example.  Nonetheless, in the speaking engagements he does attend, he calls for liberation of the Saar as well, saying it would be the best way to ensure peace in Europe.  There are the usual street brawls between nazis and others in the liberated areas, but they are relatively minor: only one policeman is injured.
 
Romania:  Authorities arrest two Orthodox Christian priests in Bukowina, scene of a 3,000-man anti-Semitic mob yesterday, accusing them of stirring up anti-Jewish sentiment in the town.
