Today -100: January 21, 1926: I just assume there’s a German compound noun for that

The US and Mexico are having a dispute over what Mexico’s oil & land laws actually mean. Mexico denies the US accusation that they are retroactive, confiscatory and discriminate against US citizens. US SecState Frank Kellogg says they are too.

Bavarian courts acquit a lieutenant & a major who took part in the extra-judicial executions of 12 radicals near Munich in 1919. The judge insists that the Red revolution™ had to be put down, so the soldiers were suffering nervous strain from all that Red-revolution-putting-down, and this is evidently extenuating for murdering prisoners.
