Bucharest: Authorities arrest 7 Macedonian students in
connection with the anti-Semitic violence that has wracked portions of the
country lately. The students have
reportedly been distributing posters encouraging the violence. Police additionally announce the capture of a
courier at the border carrying materials which they say prove soviet
involvement in the unrest, as well as in the assassination attempt on Acting
Interior Minister Constantin Angelescu.
Likewise, police arrest Corneliu Codreanu, leader of the Iron Guard,
whom they say was planning to lead a march into Bessarabia to “save Romania for
the Romanians.” The government announces
that cabinet ministers will remain in the capital for the summer to deal with
the crisis.
Berlin: Another new political party forms, this one
for liberals. The Staatspartei forms
from a union of Democrats and the Young German Order. The party’s initial platform features a
middle class disposition, but also opposition to Germany’s peace treaties from
the World War. Party leaders hope to
attract some of the former nationalists (who also oppose Germany’s war
treaties) who have left that party.
New York: More
evidence of the Depression -- reports from 643 department stores around the
country show retail trade down 10% from a year ago. Wholesale trade is reported down 21%.
