The San Remo conference is set to start. Yugoslavia is boycotting it because it couldn’t come to an agreement in advance with Italy over their territorial disputes in the Adriatic. This means the conference won’t be able to consider those disputes. The United States will send observers (although the US ambassador to Rome is running late due to a railroad strike in Italy) but won’t participate. The delegates will hold their sessions in private.
Another Mexican state, Michoacan, is in revolt against the central government. Its pro-Obregón governor flees the capital, taking the contents of the treasury with him, as is the custom.
Wolfgang Kapp of Kapp Putsch fame finally turns up, in Sweden, where he arrived by plane a day ago. He was arrested, but is being allowed to stay in a hotel, with a police guard. Sweden will evidently refuse to extradite him.
France withdraws half its troops occupying Frankfort, including all the non-white ones the Germans have been loudly bitching about (Die Schwarze Schmach, the black shame, in their words).
