Mussolini threatens to withdraw from the League of Nations if it expresses an opinion on the occupation of Corfu. He may not know about the requirement to give two years’ notice before leaving the League.
Japan is estimating 250,000 dead in the Japanese earthquake. It’s bad, but not that bad.
But fortunately...
When the quake hit, Japan only had an interim prime minister, Kato Tomosaburo having died a week before. Adm. Yamamoto Gonnohyoe, who was PM once before in 1913-14, is appointed to head an emergency government. Martial law is declared in the remains of Yokohama and elsewhere. There are food riots, and the police fight back starving people with swords, as was the custom.
Different stories in today -100’s paper say that the Imperial Palace is 1) opened to refugees by Prince Regent Hirohito, and 2) on fire.
