Berlin: The attempt at forming a centrist coalition
political party (see Aug. 4) fails. The
newly formed “State” party refuses to give up its identity and join the
People’s party, and so the plan collapses.
This is expected to help the cause of extreme parties such as communists
and nazis.
London: Meanwhile, nationalists in Germany get a
political gift from an unexpected source, when the British Electric and Allied
Manufacturers’ Association asserts that the worst of the economic depression in
Great Britain is yet to come, and that war reparation payments by Great Britain
to the U.S. are a big part of the problem.
German nationalists seize upon this as proof that their opposition to
the reparations payments of the Young Plan is well-founded.
Bucharest: More anti-Semitic violence flares. Nationalist students board a Bucharest-to-Czernowitz train at a stopover and
attack Jewish passengers with cudgels.
