Headline of the Day -100:
Monarchist roars are... not the worst kind of roars ever heard in Berlin. Republicans and Communists stay away, maybe less a boycott and more fear of violence and arrest. “One old man who boasted the honor of cheering three Kaisers in Berlin streets dropped dead when the Presidential car sped by.”
Bulgarian courts-martial convict 8 for the Sofia church bombing, sentencing them to death by public execution, but only 3 are actually in custody.
The Little Entente (Czechoslovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia) conference, meeting in Bucharest, issues what amounts to an ultimatum to Austria: expel Communists from Vienna, reduce government spending, end the demand for union with Germany. Austrian Vice-Chancellor Leopold Waber responds that Austria is burdened with having to pay pensions and such for Czechs living in Austria who should have been expelled (I suspect he’s most irked by the presence of foreign Jews).
The Supreme Court upholds California’s racist land law, saying the ban on American citizens selling land to Japanese does not violate the 14th Amendment (perish the thought) or the 1911 treaty between the US & Japan. The opinion, written by Harding appointee Pierce Butler, says the ban is perfectly reasonable.
