Monday, July 28, 1930


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%.
