Today -100: January 15, 1925: Really too much


Italy’s Communist MPs end their boycott of Parliament in order to participate in the debate on Mussolini’s new electoral law. And by participate, I mean praise Lenin and Russia, sing the Red Flag, and denounce the bourgeoisie, while Mussolini says, “This is really too much.”

The Italian Freemasons dissolve ahead of the proposed law against secret societies.

German Finance Minister Hans Luther, who belongs to no party, forms a new cabinet, including 4 Nationalists. If I understand this correctly, Luther just went ahead and negotiated a cabinet without having been asked to do so by Pres. Ebert. This will be Weimar’s first right-wing government, but not its last.

Chicago bans the eating of raw oysters, punishable by a $25 fine.
