Coolidge warns a dinner of the American Society of Newspaper Editors against propaganda: “Of education, and of real information we cannot get too much, but of propaganda which is tainted or perverted information we cannot have too little.”
Italy’s Parliament passes Mussolini’s electoral reform bill by 268 to 19, but strips the plural voting provisions, which I guess even Mussolini realized tipped power to the upper classes too much at the expense of the working classes. So it’s mostly about returning to single-member constituencies from proportional representation.

The Denver Catholic diocese says it will defy the new law against sacramental wine.
I am astounded by Coolidge's 10,000 word speech to the press! Hard to imagine a president dedicating this much time and attention to newspapers. His speech covers so much territory, practically an essay. "The business of America is business." Very impressed by the sheer amount of thought and effort that went into this.
