Budapest:  Unemployed farmers and labor members plan “protest walk” parades Monday.  Every policeman in Hungary has been called to duty in preparation -- 4,200 in all.  Reports say fully 25% of all agricultural workers and nearly 13% of organized labor are unemployed. 

China:  Three divisions of Manchurian troops march into northern China, surprising both the nationalist government and northern alliance rebels, even though both had been courting Manchurian warlord Zhang Xueliang’s support.  No one seems to know what the Manchurian forces are there to do, but reports are they will garrison in the Peking-Tientsin area.  Some believe Zhang is planning to grab that area for himself.
