Bucharest: A
reporter traveling through the region of Bukovina reports that even the Jews
there admit the recent anti-Semitic unrest has been partly fueled by the
Depression. The government has arrested
leaders of the agitation, including members of the fascist Iron Guard, but the
Jews still live in fear. Government
sources claim communists are also involved in the unrest.
Berlin: As they said they would, Chancellor Heinrich
Bruening and President Paul von Hindenburg, operating under the emergency
powers article of the German constitution, promulgate by decree the financial
reform measures that the Reichstag wouldn’t approve. The package calls for cutting $40 million in
spending from the budget and raising income taxes 5% (10% for unmarried
men). It also calls for the federal
government to stop funding the deficit between what cities pay in unemployment
benefits and what they can afford to pay.
