  • British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald made a frank speech to the League of Nations Assembly in Geneva saying that history had demonstrated that military alliances were no guarantor of security, and that to provide security Germany and Russia must be admitted to the League. He also said that the ability to assign responsibility for aggression belonged to historians fifty years after a war, not to contemporary politicians, and only through arbitration could such responsibility be assigned. "If we cannot devise proper arbitration let us go back to competitive armaments and military pacts and prepare for the inevitable next war", MacDonald stated. To small nations he said, "Pact or no pact, you will be invaded, devastated and crushed. You are certain to be the victims of the military age."[4]

  • German astronomer Friedrich Simon Archenhold said that he saw what he believed to be an attempt by inhabitants of Mars to contact Earth. "I cannot disclose everything I saw", Archenhold stated. "I am a scientist and I am not seeking newspaper sensations, but this much I will say – I was thunderstruck by what I saw. I could not believe my eyes. I thought perhaps my sons had climbed on the observatory roof and had planted something in the telescope, but it was not so. I am now going to Jungfrau, Milan, and other observatories to discuss my findings with other scientists seeking an answer to the question of whether there is life on Mars."[20]

  • The German cabinet announced it had decided "to direct the efforts of the German government towards German entrance into the League of Nations in the near future, but only with the status of a great power having equal rights with other great powers." It set three conditions for its application: it would never again admit responsibility for starting the war, it would receive a council seat, and it would not be a member of the executive council, meaning that Germany would not send a quota of troops in an international action, nor would it give the League the right to cross German territory. It listed a further seven points classified as "wishes", including that the occupation of the Ruhr would end earlier than agreed upon and that Germany could regain its colonial interests.[30]
