The House of Representatives passes the Knox Resolution declaring the war over, unchanged from the Senate version already passed, in order to get it vetoed in time for the Republican Convention. The R’s have shifted their rationale a bit, saying this is needed to end all those wartime measures, especially the ones giving unusual powers to the executive branch. D’s retort that they could have just repealed those measures if they didn’t also want an election issue.
German Foreign Minister Adolph Koestler tells the Reichstag that Germany will complain to the League of Nations about the alleged acts of “savagery” by black French soldiers in the Ruhr.
In Italy, Francesco Nitti forms a new cabinet, his third in the last year, another attempt at a broad coalition with Catholics and liberals and whatnot. The government is trying to demobilize the army, but officers are refusing to be demobilized. I didn’t know it worked like that.
The Dearborn Independent publishes the first of owner Henry Ford’s series of editorials “The International Jew: The World’s Problem,” a loose adaptation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. “The Jew is the world’s enigma. Poor in his masses, he yet controls the world’s finances. Scattered abroad without country or government, he yet presents a unity of race continuity which no other people has achieved. Living under legal disabilities in almost every land, he has become the power behind many a throne. There are ancient prophecies to the effect that the Jew will return to his own land and from that center rule the world, though not until he has undergone an assault by the united nations of mankind.”
