DEATH OF A LEADER
PARTY MEMBERS SCRAMBLE IN GOVERNMENT OFFICE
All the party members gather in the president's office, Filled with dread as the air grows thin, awaiting news of the president's situation after days of absence. They finally receive a message.
*Telegram: Salahuddin Dabbagh*
"Aistighfirallah.... He's dead! The surgery was botched! They said there was nothing they could do. Organize a provisional government immediately and find out how you will break this news to the people. I'm going to get some answers from these German bastards."
All the members stood in silence, Processing what they have just read, Ordering the guards to leave the office.
Kamil Shabib: "So just like that. He's gone.
Mahmud Salman: "Prepare the podium and announce that I will be addressing the nation."
Fahmi Said: "Hah what is this a joke? You're not in charge."
Mahmud Salman: "I was the closest and most entrusted to Rashid, I am practically the vice president, Unless you want us to start emergency elections and let the Ba'athist rats win? This is not a request, This is a command. if you want to refuse again, the guards outside are very patriotic to me, and not so much to you."
Fahmi Said: "You dog... Very well."
*Two hours later*
"Greetings and good morning. I know many of you may have questions as to why we have gathered you here, and to answer that, safety. Recent events have.. complicated things and for the sake of the greater good we will be imposing martial law across the nation. if you value your family's safety, you will listen and stay home. Those troublemakers that think themselves as nationalists will be dealt with swiftly. Regarding your concerns about the president, We hear he is in stable condition but must be kept under supervision. For now I will be your president." - Mahmud Salman
The crowd grows angry and begins shouting at Mahmud "LIAR, LIAR, LIAR!". Mahmud responds by ordering silencing the agitators among the crowd, Which only fanned the flames as the crowd turns into a mob, fighting off the riot police with stones.
Kamil Shabib: "What the hell are you doing?? It's getting out of control!"
Mahmud Salman: "Relax. Just give it time, I'll have this nation on it's knees soon."

SECRETARIAT OF IMPERIAL RECORDS
[sub]HANSEONG, GYEONGGI, Annyeong Korea — AFTERNOON[/sub]
| The Secretariat of Imperial Records, formed by historiographers whose main function was to record matters of national interest and state activity. Historiographers collected documents and wrote diaries that contained state affairs and diplomatic relations, among other things. These “diaries” were called Sacho which means “Draft of History”. Now EMPEROR JEONG has reestablished this secretariat, containing only one change. In ancient Korea, historiographer were independent government officials, meaning that no one could read Sacho, not even the King of Joseon himself, and any historiographer who divulged anything that was written in Sacho, were immediately beheaded. But now it’s 1933, it’s not the 16th century anymore — The EMPEROR JEONG reformed the Secretariat of Imperial Records by imposing that only the King and historiographers could read Sacho, but this caused an upheaval at the Imperial Court. |
| After learning that EMPEROR JEONG has plans to restore the Secretariat of Imperial Records and change one of the most sacred laws — The gray-haired elders wearing white hanboks went to the Imperial Palace to go on a hunger strike and everyone knelt in the Palace pavilion of the Emperor and together they shout a few words to Your Majesty. |
[list][list]폐하! 가장 오래되고 가장 신성한 법 중 하나를 무시하지 마십시오!
[pre]HIS MAJESTY! DO NOT IGNORE ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST SACRED LAWS![/pre][/list][/list]
| After being warned of the eldersÂ’ strike, the immature and young EMPEROR JEONG, only 20 years old, did not give up his decision and stated that he would personally go to the Secretariat of Imperial Records, but was warned by the eunuch who was present in the throne room not to go, for if the elders were to starve, His Majesty might be in trouble. |
[list][list]폐하, 제발 이러지 마세요!
[pre]HIS MAJESTY, PLEASE DONÂ’T DO THIS![/pre][/list][/list]
| The elders continued to cry out to His Majesty to revoke his decision to read the records and so, to end this strike, EMPEROR JEONG declared that he would no longer read the records and would continue to abide by this law. |

DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS
Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz recently made plans to become allies with all the nations in South East Asia and to accomplish that,him and Commander Diraja,Muhammad Nabil Jafri went on a diplomatic mission and planned to arrive in Thailand first believing that this will be the best option to start with as neighbouring nations such as British Malaya and British Sarawak would be incredibly difficult due to them being a vassal state of the UK so for now he will be targeting independent nations.But there is a question who would take over sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz position as a pseudo sultan as sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz isn't married and has no son's nor does he have any alive male relatives,the position fell to his elder sister,Qmaira Zifri Hafiz.

In a recent meeting with the Greek and Yugoslavian Governments, it was decided that in order to increase bonds between the two nations, new things had to be made. This was largely due to Greece having close relations with the Italian government, which put a strain on the pact that Greece and Yugoslavia have. A first step to repairing relations was military cooperation, and therefore it was agreed to have the Yugoslavian and Greek Navies have several naval exercises in the span of one month. The exercises will be held in the Adriatican and Ionian Seas.
The list of warships to participate are:
[spoiler=Ships of the Greek Navy to Participate in Naval Exercises]

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - MAY 1933 - ISSUE°2
PRESIDENT HINDENBURG SIGNS ORDER ON SECURITY AND THE PROTECTION OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE FOLLOWING REICHSTAG FIRE
BERLIN- President Paul von Hindenburg at a quiet and quaint ceremony at the Chancellery House signed the Order on Security and the Protection of the German People (Verordnung über die Sicherheit und den Schutz des deutschen Volkes) in the wake of the deadly Reichstag Fire, which has destroyed the Reichstag and killed as of now 14 Berliners, including nine members of government. According to the official government statement on the signing ceremony, released two hours after the event, President Hindenburg had signed the Heidler-drafted Verordnung über die Sicherheit und den Schutz des deutschen Volkes on the Chancellor's advising. The Order suspends many civil liberties, including habeas corpus, inviolability of residence, secrecy of post and the telephone, freedom of expression and of the press, the right to public assembly, the right to free association, and the protection of the property and home.
The Verordnung über die Sicherheit und den Schutz des deutschen Volkes also consolidates power and authority in the central government under the Chancellor rather than in the federal states of the Weimar Republic, and also implements a death penalty on numerous criminal offenses like committing arson on a public building.
KONRAD ADENAUER CLAIMS REICHSTAG FIRE WAS SET BY THE VOLKISTS, CALLS FOR SPECIAL ELECTION TO OUST HEIDLER
BERLIN- Konrad Adenauer, a leading Centre Party politician and the incumbent President of the Prussian State Council, has leaked to the press claims by several insider figures within the ongoing investigation into the deadly Reichstag Fire which pinpoint the Volkists (DVP) led by Chancellor Heidler as the perpetrators behind the Reichstag Fire. Adenauer, who leaked the claims during an interview with the Frankfurter Zeitung, now claims that the fire was set and conducted as a false flag operation to create an excuse for the German Government to suspend civil liberties and arrest the leaders of Germany's opposition parties, namely the DNVP, the SPD, and the Centre Party.
While Adenauer has already publicly called for special elections to oust Heidler, opposition to yet another election so soon after the June 1932 federal elections that effectively placed the Volkists in power remains firm and the likelihood of such a special election remains uncertain.

PSEUDO SULTAN,QMAIRA ZIFRI HAFIZ
It has been one month since sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz left on a diplomatic mission and left the country to his elder sister Qmaira Zifri Hafiz to manage as a pseudo sultan while he is gone,It has gone both good and bad,the good parts is the fact that she has been able to delegate fundings less towards the military and slightly more towards the normal citizens of the country such as improving on the state of residency buildings and also leasing land to people on a term which dictates that those who has lands leased over to them need to turn a profit and if they fail to pay the price ( which would be the same price as when it was first bought ) the land would return back to the sultans/monarchy,she would also improve on school fundings by ensuring all the schools actually had tables,chairs,spare utensils to provide for students who don't have enough money to purchase their own and providing some money to the schools as a monthly pay based system which the amount of cash the schools will get will be calculated based of how good the schools functioned,however as much good as she has done towards improving the nation,a high majority of people mostly the male population don't want to see her leading them as they believe that a woman leading the country will go down south and have reportedly been sending letters to have someone else take her place as the pseudo sultan of Maziya.

[sup]The June coup d’état[/sup][/list]
| [sub]For several months the new dictatorial style government of Prime Minister Phraya Mano that formed after the Yellow Dossier Crisis has been tightening its control over the lives of Siamese people and has been rubbing senior figures in the People's Party the wrong way. On 18 June, Army Colonel Phraya Phahol Pholphayuhasena, a member of the People's Party and a minister of state resigned from his seat on the People's Committee, citing health reasons. Two days prior Colonel Thep Phanthumsen resigned from his post as Minister for Construction citing difficulties balancing his position as de facto Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Siamese Army with the Ministry role.[/sub] |
| [sub]In fact they along with Naval Commander Luang Supphachalasai, with the help of young military officers, were conspiring to overthrow Phraya Mano's government. The Government had become the opposite of what the 1932 transition to democracy had been about. Absolute power had shifted from the King to the Prime Minister, running the country by decree and by-passing the now defunct PeopleÂ’s Assembly. They were joined by Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, a long time rival of Colonel ThepÂ’s, the two had just about managed to keep their personal issues with one another at bay save for a spat or two, and a black eye here or there.[/sub] |
| [sub]The planning of the coup was largely left to Colonel Thep, who is regarded by many as a brilliant strategist having planned the Coup of 1932 before King Rama VII announced the new constitution rendering the operation pointless, his knowledge of the railways having been in charge of their construction would key to getting their forces into Bangkok to seize the PeopleÂ’s Assembly and Palace.[/sub] |
| [sub]On June 20th, just two days after Colonel Phraya Phahol had resigned from the PeopleÂ’s Committee the operation to take back the Government began. Troops loyal to the three men marched into Bangkok and almost immediately seized the PeopleÂ’s Assembly with Colonel Thep and his seizing the railway stations in the capital, and successfully capturing a fleeing Phraya Mano.[/sub] |
| [sub]Colonel Phraya Phahol appointed himself Prime Minister following the news of ManoÂ’s capture and asked the Speaker of the PeopleÂ’s Assembly to visit King Prajadhipok at the Klai Kangwon Palace and explain the reasoning behind the coup, which the King dutifully accepted and almost immediately pardoned Pridi Banyong the former Minister of Economics.[/sub] |
| [sub]Resistance to the coup has been limited due to Phraya ManoÂ’s capture and the speed at which the coup took place. It remains to be seen how this coup will effect Siamese politics for the next few years, and whether the peace between Colonel Thep and Field Marshal Plaek will last.[/sub] |

TRADE DEAL WITH THAILAND
After a month of negotiations with Prime Minister Phyara Mano to try and get a alliance but Prime Minister Phyara Mano didn't want to be a in a alliance for now so sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz had to comprise with a trade deal and prime minister Phyara Mano agreed to be on a trade deal,which will see both nations gain either a lot or very little as both nations leaders refused to publicly reveal what they are trading with each other but knowing what sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz liked to use for trades it will probably be agricultural gains or the newest weapon from the Maziyan military but with Thailand it is a mystery.Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz decided to return back to Maziya after the negotiations ended and postpone his plans to create a alliance with all of the South East Asian countries after he was informed about the public view of his elder sister as the temporary sultan and with him being scared that the people will begin a revolt in the nation.

Legacy of the Second Cristiada
Mexico, 1932
After only a handful of years of recovery, the nation has come very far, and in a series of sweeping reforms, the government has consolidated both the civilian and the military industrial complex under its control. Just a few weeks ago, Urquiza had signed off on an executive order which nationalized the oil companies of the nation, including PEMEX corp. With this move, the government is poised to double and even triple the size of the current military by the end of next year, and has already allocated funds to start research and distribution of more modern military equipment.
The Central Intelligence Agency has as well received a new grant from the government, and is continuously making inroads committed to weeding out revolutionary rebels in the countryside and in many urban areas across the nation. Even though the new parliament seems more cohesive than it has ever been, and revolutionary troubles in the capital are essentially non-existent, there remain certain pockets of resistance to the relatively new regime throughout the country.
Urquiza is soon to address the nation within the next few weeks concerning MexicoÂ’s future and intentions as it enters the world stage from a dark and gruesome past, finally putting all of that behind them, and looking to the future with a bright and glorious hope.
Viva México!!!

[I][sup]His majesty, Nadir Shah, had sent an order to the Afghan Embassy to begin soliciting for the German government to reopen its embassy in Kabul. The German embassy in Afghanistan had been destroyed in the 1929 Civil War when Saqqawist ransacked the building after German diplomats abandoned it during the Fall of Kabul. Relations between the two nations go back as far as 1879 when the Treaty of Gandomak was signed, Britain gained full control of Afghan foreign policy from the Shah of Afghanistan. Germany, as a rival to Britain, was only able through secret missions and expeditions to reduce British influence in Afghanistan. The second German-Afghan meeting between Habibullah Khan and a 23-member German delegation took place in 1915. The main intention of this delegation was to weaken British influence in Afghanistan as part of the Niedermayer-Hentig expedition. However, during this expedition in 1916, a friendly trade agreement occurred. The trade contract concluded even though there were prior diplomatic relations between these countries. According to the Treaty of 24 January 1916, the German delegation to the Government of Afghanistan was promised 100,000 rifles and 300 guns. A friendship agreement was made on 3 March 1926. With the recognition of the ambassadors in both these countries. In 1926 the prior existing friendship and trade agreement of 24 January, 1916 was ratified. The Afghan Shah, Amanullah Khan, visited Germany on the 22nd of February, 1928, where he met the President of the Weimar Republic, Paul von Hindenburg.[/sup]
[sup]Sadar Mohammed Aziz Khan is a member of the House of Musahiban, a branch of the Barakzai Dynasty, and the older half-brother of Mohammed Nadir Shah. He was awarded the position of ambassador to Germany for his support during the 1929 War. Aziz Khan was fluent in the German language, history, and politics, thus he was the most practical choice to choose from. Nadir Shah was looking for alternative diplomatic partnerships for Afghanistan, rather than the traditional diplomacy of approaching Russia or Britannia. Stepping outside the Afghan embassy, Sadar Mohammed Aziz Khan and his assistant Amail Ghazini would descend down the stairs towards their Mercedes Benz to meet with their German counterpart at the ministry of foreign affairs. While this is happening, a student of the Technical University of Berlin, named Sayed Kamal, paced back and forth in his room with much anxiety. For the last year or so he has been attending many of the Volk Party rallies taking place at the university. At first, it was just a pure spectacle for him, a novelty, but as he spent more and more time in these rallies, his thoughts and ideas began to change. He began writing to his brothers back home about Zionist plots to establish a new world order and the very real threat of a Communist takeover. But as time went on, his fixation on Jews began spreading to other things, mainly the Afghan monarchy. Sayed hated Amanullah for his progressive policies, but he still respected him for his role in the Independence of Afghanistan. However, he did not view Nadir Shah as anything more than a usurper and an agent for the Judeo-Angloid conspiracy to undermine Afghanistan. Sayed believed that Nadir was secretly a British agent, thus an enemy of Afghanistan, as a patriot Sayed was going to take action to save his country from the clutches of international Zionism.[/sup]

[sup]Pulling up to the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Prince Aziz's Khan and his assistant Amail Ghazini, would step out of the Mercedes Benz. As they stepped out and proceeded to the front door of the ministry, Aziz Khan realized he had forgotten his briefcase in the car, he told Amail to wait for him by the door while he went to go get it. While this was happening, Sayeed was sitting at the bench watching the Prince with anticipation. His nerves were shot up and his hands sweating. When the Prince got his briefcase from the car, the time was now or never, Sayeed sprang up and began speed walking up to the minister. Prince Aziz noticed the young man approaching him but remained unnerved, simply saying good afternoon to him in German. Sayeed once in rage responded with the traditional Muslim greeting, Salam Alaikum, the Prince would ask if he was an Arab, to which Sayeed responded by speaking in Dari.[/sup]

Amail Ghazini who witnessed everything went to the side of Prince and began shouting for help.

Sadar Mohammed Aziz Khan, the older half-brother of Nadir Shah, and father of two boys, Mohammed Daoud Khan, Mohammed Naim Khan, died on the 6th of June, 1933, age 56 at 12:40 PM. Sayed is still at large and German authorities are working to find him.[/sup]

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - JUNE 1933 - ISSUE°1
REICHSTAG PREPARES TO PASS EMPOWERMENT ACT AMID GROWING NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS FOLLOWING RECENT HIGH-LEVEL DEATHS
BERLIN- The Reichstag motions next week at a temporary facility in Dresden, Germany to pass the Empowerment Act of 1933 amid growing national and internal security concerns following the deaths of two important figures present in Germany at their time of death, namely Iraqi President Rashid and Afghan Ambassador to the Weimar Republic Sadar Mohammed Aziz Khan, who was assassinated by a presumed communist gunman on the 6th of June at noon. The German public is incredibly restless and nervous at the moment as German intelligence authorities continue to unearth alleged communist plots to coup the government and establish a Soviet client state or, worse, bring the nation to its heels in a 'conflict against the Allies'. Chancellor Heidler of the DVP has reaffirmed his trust in the German military and armed authorities to ensure Germany's security, but stated that he himself could 'do more' if he was granted the right powers.
The Empowerment Act of 1933 will, for the foreseeable future, allow the Chancellor to pass and enact legislation without the input of the Reichstag and with no need to consult President Paul von Hindenburg, who serves as head of state of the Republic. In effect the act will nullify the Reichstag, consolidate dictatorial powers in Chancellor Heidler, and nullify the strengths of the office of the Presidency, which in reality should be the office in charge of the state. According to its proponents, mainly DVP MPs in the Reichstag, the bill builds upon the 'security rules enacted' by the security resolution passed in the wake of the deadly Reichstag Fire, and will 'ensure Germany's internal and external security'.
The Reichstag is expected to assemble in Dresden to pass the bill. No party has voiced discontent with it aside from the Centre Party and the SPD, who while holding the presidency and the judiciary no longer have a majority to stop the Empowerment Act's passage.
LANDESPOLIZEI BERLIN ASSIGNS ADDITIONAL SECURITY TO THE PRESIDENT, CHANCELLOR, FRENCH AND BRITISH AMBASSADORS IN BERLIN
BERLIN- Following the recent assassination of Afghan Ambassador to the Weimar Republic Sadar Mohammed Aziz Khan, a member of the Afghan royal family, the Landespolizei Berlin (Berlin Police Department) has announced that it will be assigning 'significant' additional security to President Paul von Hindenburg, the head of state, Chancellor Heidler, the head of government, André François-Poncet, the French ambassador to Germany, and Sir Horace Rumbold, the de facto British ambassador to Germany. The Landespolizei classifies these persons as 'high-risk' and 'at risk of armed assault by communist groups'.
The Landespolizei and the Foreign Ministry, however, have assured both London and Paris that their ambassadors are safe and will be protected from harm by Berlin authorities.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS: FRANCE REACTS TO HEIDLER'S DESIRES TO RE-MILITARIZE GERMANY
[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, JUNE 1933 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | With news of Adolph Heidler's new German government prioritizing the rebuilding and remilitarization of Germany, the French Government remains on edge. Having signed a drastic demilitarization treaty which has kept the Germans at bay since 1918; the French Republic is now finding that it's age old nemesis may soon rise again. This has cause many French officials and citizens alike to call for the boycotting of German products and goods. Furthermore, a rapid rise in the discrimination towards Germans residing in France has been observed which hasn't been seen since the Great War era. | [/sub]

[sub]| HELM OF WARFARE, TROISIÈME RÉPUBLIQUE - | After 16 years of service, the battle proven and sturdy Renault FT-17 light tank is being replaced or in some cases reinforced by the new Renault AMR-33 light cavalry tank. This new tank may have a lighter 7.5mm gun when compared to the FT's 37mm gun however it has a far greater operational range of 200km compared to the FT's meager 60km range. It also has much more horsepower with it's 8 cylinder 84hp engine. Thats over twice as much power when compared to the Renault FT's 39hp engine. The Army has pre-ordered 500 Renault AMR-33's for service in various armour units alongside the FT's, Char D1, and Char 2C. The AMR-33 is ideal for operations in France's West African colonies and Middle Eastern colonies. Meanwhile the French military has sold a number of it's Renault FT-17's, Char D1's, and various artillery pieces, aeroplanes, and even ships to partners in Greece, Iraq, and Egypt. Having sold a large quantity of surplus built up from the Great War, the War Ministry has generated upwards of $50,000,000. |[/sub]

[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, JUNE 1933 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF L’EMPIRE, MINISTÈRE DES COLONIES, TROISIÈME RÉPUBLIQUE - | The French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon consist of a demographic cluster of minority religious groups from Alawite Muslims, Yazidism, Sunni Muslims, Yarsanism, Alevism, Maronite Christians, Druze, Greek Orthodox Christians, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Syriac Orthodox Christians, and Chaldean Catholics among many more. The French Government, being a heavy proponent of the Catholic Church and Christians in general has advocated and called for the establishment of Maronite Christian state in the Western coastal provinces of Syria and Lebanon. With Maronite Christians making up the vast majority of the overall Christian populace in the region, all Christians have been encouraged to resettle in the Western provinces of the Mandate where a new Maronite Christian state is being set up. This crusade is being led alongside the French Government by the Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Damascus which is largely in charge of setting up the new state based on their religious principles. The majority of Maronite Christians live in Lebanon where they make up 50% of the population alongside other Christian groups. | [/sub]

Into the World
With the country relatively stabilized and the post-crisis economic recovery, the Yugoslav government is once again preparing for foreign affairs, focusing on maintaining and expanding relations with other European nations.
With that in mind King Alexander himself announced that in the following he would be making visits to friendly nations, with Paris in France being the first stop, followed by London and Berlin. In addition to the political and economic agenda, the government also plans to negotiate new contracts for the modernization of the Royal Yugoslavian Armed Forces.
Balkan Alliance?
After the expansion of relations with Greece, many members of the government have defended the creation of a "Balkan Alliance" lead by Yugoslavia, many of those supporting it are part of the pan-yugoslavs groups, with major oppostion from serbian nationalist and chetniks.
Despiting not being an official of the government Prince Paul have expressed interest in cooperation between balkanic nations, mainly due the further expansion of communism in the region.

General Strike Order Issued in Christchurch!
[list]1 May 1932
[list]| There have been rumblings of discontent amongst public sector workers in Aotearoa's second-largest city, Christchurch, for some time as of late. The national and local government finances have been decimated due to the economic Depression currently grinding the world's economy to a halt, which has struck Aotearoa's economy particularly hard. The most recent figures by the Ministry of Finance indicate that the economy has seen a twenty-seven-per cent decline year on year, and although the Government has been tight-lipped about unemployment numbers, it has been openly estimated by the press to amount to twenty-five to thirty per cent of the able-bodied, working-age population. Last month, the Christchurch Local Authority announced that due to ongoing budgetary constraints, in part due to the reduction of grants from the liberal government in Wellington, half of its employees will be terminated without severance by the end of July whilst the remaining staff will be required to take a mandatory twenty-per cent reduction in their pay rate. |
| Even before this announcement, Christchurch's public sector workers had been subject to a sharp increase in both working hours and workload, with little to no increase in wages. The local public servant union in Christchurch, the Public Service Association Local 382, had for months been sounding the alarm about violations of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1894. The Act had mandated employers and union members to negotiate before hirings, dismissals, wage and hour increases or decreases, and other changes to working conditions faced by unionized workers, though Pirimia George Forbes' ministry had largely ignored these complaints, dismissing them as frivolous. Given the government's open refusal to negotiate with union members or to punish the Christchurch Local Authority, a vote was called by the union on whether to authorize a strike of all of its eighteen-thousand covered workers. Local 382 had proposed May Day as the date for the beginning of a strike, and on voting day, 82% of union members voted for strike action. |
| Today, on May Day, an international day of celebration for worker's rights and various nation's labour movements, the effect of the strikes have already taken a toll on the city's infrastructure and residents. The city's harbour, trams, and railways have come to a screeching halt, pushing people, goods, and services to travel by foot to their destinations; Christchurch Hospital, the largest hospital on the South Island, saw its nurses and assisting staff refusing to attend to non-emergent patients and duties; and state school students have been left without teachers who stated they would not return to work until a new bargaining agreement was approved. The national opposition coalition, coined the Labour Party, even though political parties are explicitly banned in the Constitution, has been closely linked to the strike, campaigning for and then encouraging members of the union and other worker's groups to form a general strike. |
| Concerns for today's general strike seem to have included a fear of the strike and protests in downtown Christchurch to turn into riots, though that fear seems to have been unjustified even though an estimated twenty thousand protestors assembled in and around Cathedral Square, with no major incidents being reported as of 17h. Though violence may soon be on the horizon based on statements made by aides to the Pirimia, who have stated that he is seeking to end the general strike before it spreads to Wellington, and then to Auckland, especially with the proliferation of press reports and pamphlets from the city. Such pamphlets have included the following:
[list][pre]STRIKE-STRIKE-STRIKE![/pre]
[pre]LEST WE FORGET LAWRENCE![/pre]
[pre]BREAD AND ROSES![/pre]
[pre]NO DEAL, ALL OUT![/pre][/list]
The second and third of these slogans refers to the Lawrence, Massachusetts mill workers strikes in the United States, which occurred just two short decades ago and resulted in the deaths of several mill workers and arrest and imprisonment of union leaders, which many amongst the nation's trade unions worry is coming from the conservative-leaning government in Wellington. The national government has been speculated to be preparing to bring servicemen into the city in order to quell what so far have been peaceful demonstrations. Such a measure would not be uncalled for amongst developed economies facing unionization efforts, such as the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, also in the United States, where coal miners seeking better pay and working conditions faced machine gun fire from local police and the armed forces, killing at least a hundred union advocates and resulting in the destruction of all unionization efforts in the industry. |[/list]

Hi
THE KINGDOM OF IRELAND: THE REBIRTH OF THE IRISH NATION
1919-1929
Ten years ago, on 21 January 1919, the Irish people who had been under 800 years of British rule over the island decided to rebel against Great Britain and declare an independent Irish nation. This rebellion came to be known as the Irish War of Independence, which lasted for two bloody years with casualties on both sides. Still, it was clear that the British could no longer maintain their control over the island. After two years, a truce was declared on July 1921 between the Irish provisional government and the British government. Five months later, the Anglo-Irish treaty was signed. The British government officially recognized Ireland as an independent nation and immediately pulled out British troops and officials from the new country. In exchange, however, Great Britain will retain complete control over Northern Ireland.
After the Irish Civil War, there were disagreements in the Free State government whether Ireland should become a republic or retain the monarchy with having an independent monarch. It was decided that the Free State government would let the people decide which form of government they wanted. On January 1924, a referendum was held to determine whether Ireland should become a republic or retain the monarchy. The result was that 66.8% of the people voted to retain the monarchy, while 33.2% voted for Ireland to become a republic.
After two months of much consideration which candidates should be given the throne, it was decided that the throne should be given to Lucius O'Brien, 15th Baron Inchiquin, who is the head of the O'Brien dynasty. The O'Brien are descendants of Brian Boru, the most famous and most beloved High King in Irish history. The two conditions to the offer was that he have to resigned his seat from the British House of Lords and he his family would convert back to Catholicism from Anglicanism. Lucius O'Brien accepted the offer, and two weeks later, he and his family landed in Ireland in the capital city of Dublin and were greeted by crowds and government officials. On Sunday, April 16th, Easter Day at the Hill of Tara next to the Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny) Lucius was crowned as High King of Ireland. The some of his family change their German/British first names to Irish names. Two months later, the Irish government passed the Constitution of Ireland (written by John Hearne), officially establishing Ireland as a Parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy, and W. T. Cosgrave was elected as the first Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland.
High King Lucius and the Royal family spent the last seven years to serve both Irish people and the nation while at the same time relearning the Irish language and the Gaelic Irish culture. The High King and his family effort paid off and the people of Ireland love their new High King and the Royal family.
IrelandÂ’s future seems bright, but there will always be surprises in stores for any nations. The future awaits.
P.S. This is Swedenn, after realizing that my Swedish history conflict with many other nations history and not just Denmark or Norway history and not wanting to change or amend my idea of Pagan Sweden, I decided to move back to Ireland my first spot. This will be my new main nation from now on. So telegram me to this account to talk about both Ireland and Yemen RPs and stuff. Thanks.

WITÂ’S LANDT 一 CENTRAL TERRITORY DISPUTE | PART 3/4
[sub]Janszoon, Staat van Wit's Landt | 1931-1932
[/sub]
[list][sub]
Governor van der Berg dismissed (1931)
[/sub]
[sub]Appointed on advice of Wit's Landt state Premier Karl Hickenlooper following the 1925 elections, state Governor Paul van der Berg initially sought not to cement a strong position on the Wit's Landt 一 C.T. Dispute (a dispute between the state government of Wit's Landt and the Commonwealth Government regarding the validity of the Central Territory, a land previously belonging to the state), and often avoided the issue altogether. After Premier Hickenlooper adopted a hard stance in 1929, however, the governor became increasingly involved in the dispute. The governor specifically sought recognition of the situation from the Commonwealth Government, which at that point under the leadership of Stanley Bruce and then James Scullin, had dismissed the dispute as “laughable” and “never to be considered”. While his sympathy to the Premier's position brought the governor popularity among Witslanders, it also brought him an intense dislike from the Commonwealth Government. [/sub]
[sub]Fearing van der Bergs's positions could inflict harm on the Commonwealth's legitimacy, the Government, under Prime Minister James Scullin, requested the Crown dismiss the governor. The Crown agreed and replaced the popular governor with a British officer with little knowledge about the affairs of Wit's Landt, flagrantly violating the common practice pledged in the Leeuwin Document that recommended first consulting and receiving advice from the Government of Wit's Landt before taking such measures. The dismissal of Governor van der Berg outraged Nieuw Hollanders and the Hickenlooper State Government, resulting in thousands of Witslanders, led by Hickenlooper himself, taking to the streets of Janszoon to express their anger. The Premier detested the Crown's decision, and promised to significantly increase pressure on the High Court to rule on the dispute, and the Commonwealth Government to negotiate. Meanwhile, the former governor was invited to seek refuge in Hickenlooper's personal family home.[/sub]
[sub]
The High Court rules against Wit's Landt (1932)
[/sub]
[sub]Having considered the dispute since late 1931 following the dismissal of Governor van der Berg, the Australian High Court finally announced a ruling on the Wit's Landt 一 Central Territory Dispute in early 1932, dismissing the Leeuwin Document as a non-legally binding document that had no special relation to the circumstances of the dispute.[/sub][list][sub]
[/sub]
[sup]WIT'S LANDT V. THE COMMONWEALTH
| Concluding |
The Commonwealth Parliament under its powers to make laws with respect
to administration of territories has power to create territories under
Commonwealth administration, in this case citing the specific measures
required in creation of Central Territory under the Central Territory
Administration Bill of 1923. Under Chapter Five of the Constitution, territory
may be received from the states, in this case supported by the next phrase
in which to the Commonwealth in cases of conflict in areas where the
Commonwealth and states have concurrent powers to make laws,
Commonwealth law has priority and the state law is invalid to the extent of
the inconsistency. The Leeuwin Document, as ruled in 1915, has no legal
authority in establishing to what limits the Commonwealth may act upon
the state of Wit's Landt, not in special relation to application of an
administrative condition.

THE GREEK NAVY COMMISSIONS TWO NEW BATTLECRUISERS, FLAGSHIPS OF THE FLEET ARE HERE!
EPITROPES TOU ELLINIKOU NAUTIKOU DYO NEA BATTLECRUISER, SIMAIAKA TOU STOLOU EINAI EDO!
In Early 1930, a naval agreement was signed with the American government, stating the construction of two new warships for the Greek Navy. Later on, it is known that those two ships would soon be the new capital ships of the Royal Greek Navy, the 'Salamis' and the 'Crete'. These new ships signaled the modernization the Greek Armed Forces, and brought a new modernized age to the Greek Navy. In Late 1932, the two ships were launched and fitted with the latest guns, armor, and technological American naval advancements. In June 1933, the ships were ready, and although their construction was highly classified, their launch and delivery were heavily publicized. On the 23rd of June, 1933, the first of the two ships, the Salamis, arrived in Athens. Its large size had dwarfed the current flagship, the Athena which was also in port at the time. On the 28th of June, its sister vessel, the Crete, had also arrived, casting a large shadow over the Port of Athens. On the 30th of July, the two ships were ready. They were painted up in the standard Greek Navy standard grey, and the masts flying the Greek Naval ensign.
[spoiler=Specifications of the 'Salamis Class' Battlecruiser (Salamis and Crete)]
General Information: Length 210.40 m (690 ft 3 in), Beam 29 m (95 ft 2 in), Draft 9.20 m (30 ft 2 in)
Displacement: 26,600 t (26,200 long tons) normal load, 31,200 t (30,700 long tons) full load
Armament: 8 × 12 in (305 mm)/50 calibers Mark 7 guns, 6 x 7 in (177 mm) /44 caliber gun Mark 2, 8 × 21 in torpedoes
Armor: Waterline belt: 80–250 mm (3.1–9.8 in), Deck: 24–40 mm (0.9–1.6 in), Gun turrets: 240–280 mm (9.4–11.0 in)
Speed: Crusing Speed: 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph), Top Speed: 32 knots (59 km/h; 37 mph)[/spoiler]
On the 1st of July, 1933, a grand ceremony was held, attended by Ioannis Metaxas himself. The reason why these new ships were here today was because of him, and his Naval Expansion Act which boosted its construction speed. Soon, a bottle of the finest Greek Wine was smashed on the front of both ships, officially commissioning them as capital ships and flagships of the Greek Navy. The now HS Salamis and HS Crete were then sent out to sea on a shakedown cruise and had performed well in the hands of Greece's trained and experienced naval officers and seamen. The ships were then arrived and registered in Athens and were quickly sent out to the Island of Crete to perform naval drills. The Salamis and Crete were very useful to the Greek Navy, as it was not only a win for the Greek Navy, who received two new capital ships, but it was also a win for the Americans who received a generous sum of money for building them.

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - JULY 1933 - ISSUE°1
GERMAN NATIONAL PEOPLE'S PARTY (DNVP) SHUT DOWN BY DVP-STAATSGARDE FOR SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY
BERLIN- The DVP-Staatsgarde, the paramilitary wing of the DVP, allegedly raided the main offices of the German National People's Party (Deutschnationale Volkspartei) yesterday, by order of Chancellor Heidler, the leader of the DVP. According to reports from the Landespolizei Berlin (Berlin Police Department), who conducted a short-lived investigation into the raid, which wasn't sanctioned by the Landespolizei or the Innenministerium (Ministry of the Interior), seven high-level DNVP party members and eleven DNVP Reichstag MPs were apprehended by the DVP-Staatsgarde and are now being held in custody for 'subversive activity against the German state and people'. The Staatskanzlei released a statement earlier this morning, stating that the raid had been conducted for the same reason.
The Chief of the Landespolizei Berlin, Randolph Schmidt, stated that a police investigation will be conducted into the constitutionality and legality of an extra-governmental police unit conducting an armed raid on behalf of the Chancellor and holding party leaders and MPs in their own custody rather than that of the Landespolizei, which is the usual protocol for raids against subversive groups.
CENTRE-SPD COALITION DEMANDS ACTION FROM PRESIDENT HINDENBURG TO PREVENT 'THE END OF GERMAN DEMOCRACY'
BERLIN- Over 147 Centre and SPD MPs in the Reichstag, as well as 71% of Centre-SPD coalition members, have signed a formal petition demanding action from President Paul von Hindenburg to 'at short notice prevent the end of German democracy and the restraining of the vital civil liberties that have been safeguarded since the Republic's establishment in 1919'. President Hindenburg has for the past few months been silent on recent developments in Germany politically, which include the death of Iraqi President Rashid on German soil, the assassination of the Afghan Ambassador to Germany, the Reichstag Fire conducted by allegedly far-left extremists, as well as the subsequent passage of resolutions that curtailed civil liberties and in a few days time will consolidate power in the Chancellor and they alone.
The Centre-SPD coalition leadership, as well as MPs from other parties opposed to the DVP, have called on the German President to prevent 'the end of what we have all spent decades building'.

Summary of the internal and external situation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
Diplomatic situation
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is in a difficult situation, in the east, the German eagle, which in 1919 was a tender chick, is now a hungry bird of prey looking for prey, which some say is precisely the small Dutch Kingdom.
In Asia, the colonies of the Dutch colonial empire are endangered by the dangerous expansion of the Japanese empire, which does not seem to want to stop only in China.
The only powers here in the Netherlands harbor any hope of avoiding both Germanic and Japanese expansionism are the Western ones, with which they fought side by side in the Great War and with whom they hope to collaborate again.
Internal situation
Internally, the Netherlands is a fairly stable and democratic country, universal suffrage was first enacted in 1918 and now Dutch women are also entitled to vote.
The current Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Charles Ruijs de Beerenbrouck (State Roman Catholic Party) seems to be highly appreciated by both the middle class and the industrial proletariat (they give him 56% in the polls), averting the risk of socialist revolts .
The real problem of the Netherlands is the colonies, especially the Dutch East Indies, where the Dutch maintain their dominion only thanks to their rifles, despite being in a large numerical minority compared to the natives.
The next elections of the general states will be held in August 1933 and will see the two largest parties in the country face off:
-The State Roman Catholic Party, currently in government, brings together all the Catholic-inspired movements of the Netherlands.
-The Anti-Revolutionary Party, known for its aversion to socialist movements and in general to the revision of traditions or to granting any autonomy to the colonies.
Currently the polls give 56% of the votes to Catholics, 34% to Anti-Revolutionaries and 20% to other parties, among which the Dutch workers' party stands out (5%).

| It had been a few months since the Imperial Court had advised His Majesty to marry soon and have an heir, but EMPEROR JEONG already has a noble woman in mind — LADY PARK CHAN-JU, who was the granddaughter of MARQUIS PARK YEONG-HYO. To prevent the royals from continuing to gossip about His Majesty’s private affairs, an invitation was made to LADY PARK to lunch at the Emperor’s Palace at 12:00 pm sharp, in order to show that EMPEROR JEONG will soon be married. But, His Majesty already fell in love with another woman a lot when he was younger, but this woman did not fulfill the requirements to be the EMPRESS CONSORT OF JOSEON. |
| His MajestyÂ’s first love was an anti-Japanese woman, and that was inadmissible to the EmperorÂ’s councillors, so now PARK CHAN-JU will be introduced to YI U. Upon arriving at His MajestyÂ’s Palace, LADY PARK was directed to EMPERORÂ’s chambers and an exchange of loving glances took place between the two. |
| LADY PARK wore an elegant pink hanbok typical of Korean nobility and sat on the floor in front of EMPEROR JEONG. The meeting between the two was made only to set the date of the wedding, which will be in November 1933 and this will be enough to reduce the gossip in the Imperial Court — But both were really in love, two soul mates found each other. LADY PARK would soon be the EMPRESS CONSORT OF JOSEON. They both drank a typical Korean tea called SSANGHWA-TANG, and then LADY PARK chatted happily with His Majesty. |

The priority would be given to Heavy Industry to begin to compete with the Germans. The People of the Union would be given a reward for the success of the First Five-Year Plan which they finished in four years instead of five years leading to Comrade Stalin easing targets and punishments if those targets were not met. On religious matters the process of the liquidation of house of worship and the end goal of elimination of the clergy by ‘36 through gradually ending citizen belief in Religious Cults. Factories would continue to be built up and feed the Machine of Soviet progress. Alongside the construction of railways across The Union to allow faster movement of goods to make deadlines more achievable and to shorten delays due to transportation.

[list]THE CYPRIOT ELECTIONS[/list]
[pre]MARCH 1933

—
[list]GOVERNMENT HOUSE, NICOSIA, CROWN COLONY OF CYPRUS[/list]
—
| Cyprus is an island nation of 600,000 administered as a crown colony of the British Empire since 1878. The islandÂ’s population was rather evenly divided between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, a byproduct of the island changing hands between various empires for centuries. The colony had been directly administered by the British government through the end of the Great War, a conflict in which thousands of Greek and Turkish Cypriots served loyally. This service made many Cypriots, particularly the dominant Greek population, desire their own responsible governments such as those of Australia, Canada, or Southern Rhodesia. Over 2,000 Cypriot veterans, namely Greek and Anglo Cypriots, formed the Responsible Government League in 1923. The formation followed the granting of Westminster-style self government to Rhodesia, a colony with less than half of CyprusÂ’ European population. The Responsible Government League, though adamant about the need for elected self-government, were divided on what such an elected government would look like. Nevertheless, British colonial authorities announced the introduction of parliamentary democracy to Cyprus in 1930, following nearly 10 years of constant demands and demonstrations by the Responsible Government League. A constitution was promulgated for the Crown Colony of Cyprus, drafted exclusively by Anglo and Greek Cypriots in London.
The constitution afforded voting rights to male residents of the island of Cyprus who were British subjects of the Christian faith, at least 25 years of age, demonstrably literate, and possessing immovable property worth at least £5,000 or an income of at least £1,750 per annum. This essentially stripped all Turkish and otherwise Muslim Cypriots of their eligibility to vote, as well as depriving the majority of Greek Cypriots from their right to vote. The Anglo population, numbering no more than 20,000, was almost entirely enfranchised. The unicameral Parliament of Cyprus was composed of 100 representatives, 5 of which were appointed by the Grand Mufti of Cyprus and the remaining elected using the first-past-the-post system. The Governor of Cyprus, having previously held plenipotentiary powers, was now reduced to a quasi-head of state to perform ceremonial roles. The roles previously held by the governor, namely the administration of the colony and setting its domestic policies, were assumed by a prime minister appointed by the House of Representatives. These circumstances prompted a fracturing of the Responsible Government League, with the more numerous Greek Cypriots finding that Anglo Cypriots would have dramatically more influence on their new government than expected.
In the lead up to the first Cypriot general elections in 1933, two political factions emerged from the Responsible Government League. There was a liberal, pro-monarchy, pro-British, and anti-tariff faction, lead by Baron Prescott Bartholomew Darlington-Rothschild. Rothschild was a blue-blooded Antipodean noblemen, descended from the powerful Darlington and Rothschild families, who had settled in Cyprus following the end of WWI. He was heavily involved in the Rothschild banking enterprises, serving as the President of CyprusÂ’ Laiki Bank. The faction gradually came to be known as the British Party / Vretaniko Komma, and was supported generally by Anglo Cypriots and wealthy Greek land owners who had been privileged by British rule. Opposed to the British Party was the National Movement / Ethniko Kinima, a party which advocated for Cypriot independence and/or Enosis with Greece, Republicanism, political Greek Orthodoxy, tariffs to protect Cypriot peasants and subsidies to develop a domestic manufacturing, and some extremists supported the repatriation of Turkish Cypriots. The party received its support largely from the Greek peasantry and the countryÂ’s professional and middle class, which was almost entirely composed of Greek Cypriots. The group was led by Georgios Grivas, a Cypriot-born veteran of the Greek-Turkish War whoÂ’s combat experience had forged his Greek nationalist ideology.
The 1933 Cypriot General Elections were held on March 3rd, only ~7% of the total Cypriot population was elegible to vote in the election and only ~3% turned out for the election. The election results were extremely close, with 50.2% of votes going to RothschildÂ’s British Party. The results were as follows:
[list]VRETANIKO KOMMA / BRITISH PARTY | 50.2% | 10,985 | 55 SEATS
ETHNIKO KINIMA / NATIONAL MOVEMENT | 49.8% | 10,769 | 40 SEATS
TURKISH GROUP / TOURKIKOS OMILOS / TÜRK GRUBU | N/A | N/A | 5 SEATS
TOTAL | 100% | 21,754 | 100 SEATS[/list]
The British Party, holding a near constitutional majority, set an agenda for further economic integration within the British Empire and the rapid upgrade of the island’s defences. With investments from British Petroleum and the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co., largely through the connections of the elected-Prime Minister Rothschild, the new Cypriot government aimed to capitalize on the island’s prime Mediterranean location. A series projects including one super oil refinery, two major oil terminals, expansion of current naval facilities, and two new multipurpose deep-water ports would be constructed on the island. The oil refinery, based out of the capital city of Nicosia, would be constructed over the next 3 years with a refining capacity of 300,000 bbl/d. Two oil terminals and two deep water ports would be built, with the oil terminals connected via pipeline to aid in its rapid shipment to Europe. The ports and oil terminals, termed “commercial-energy facilities” by the British Party government, would be based out of the southern city of Limassol and northern city of Karavostasi. Both ports would be capable of handling over 1,000,000 tonnes of cargo per annum. The two oil terminals would be capable holding a total of 3,000,000 barrels of oil in storage. The port at Karavostasi will also function to export Cyprus’ copper, asbestos, and marble, the mining of which continues to increase under British governance. The two commercial energy facilities are due to be completed by 1938. The rapid militarisation of the Kingdom of Greece, particularly in the naval sphere, has prompted the Rothschild government to request an expansion of the British Navy and Army on the island of Cyprus, likely to be drawn from both imperial and domestic forces. |

Report from the Dutch East India Colony, by Dutch colonial police officer Dimas van Kesteren.
Jakarta, Dutch East Indies, April 1933
We are in serious trouble, yesterday me and two other officers were doing our Routine check on a wagon of goods coming into town from neighboring villages, driven by one of those dirty local barbarians.
We asked the owner what he was carrying but he refused to answer, after we asked him he replied that it was fruit for the market, but that wagon was too big to carry just fruit, or so it seemed to us at that point however another local approached us asking why we were bothering a simple greengrocer, also saying that perhaps before trying to solve problems in "Indonesia" (as they call the East Indies) we had to learn how to solve them at home.
At that point a whole group of locals approached us shouting "Dutch at home!" and other anti-colonial slogans.
we were forced to beat three of them and kill one. Fortunately, the order was restored shortly afterwards and we were able to verify that the Greengrocer was actually carrying fruit and that he had only had a very good harvest.
The fact that locals have used such a trivial situation to spread independence is worrying, and this isn't the first time this has happened.
End of relationship
This is just one of the many instances of rebellion by natives of the Dutch East Indies in major Dutch newspapers.
Prime Minister Charles Ruijs de Beerenbrouck replied to the problem of managing the colonies: "The real problem is that we Dutch are too few and that there are too many natives, however I maintain that if we remove the religious difference between the rulers, that is, we Dutch and the dominated, that is, the natives, it would be easier to maintain control.
however, it must also be considered that for now the riots are few and have not translated into real independence demonstrations, so I don't think we need to send more forces to the colonies. "
Dutch public opinion is divided between those who believe this is the beginning of the end for the Dutch Colonial adventure and those who believe this is a new beginning for the empire.

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!
[sub]HYDE PARK, NEW YORK, [nation]Paramountica[/nation] — AFTERNOON[/sub]
[list]| [sub]FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, The Candidate[/sub] | “Hello, Mrs. Smith. Are your children also joining you in the vote today?”[/list]
| Easing himself down the stairs of the old Hyde Park town hall, ROOSEVELTÂ’s face relaxed into the easy grin that he flashed at millions of his fellow Americans from the back platform of his campaigning trains, which speeded across the republic during the election season. Now it is November 8th, Election Day. ROOSEVELT had just cast the vote for himself as the 32nd President of the United States of America. Along with him was the cortege of newspapermen, his wife and his son ELLIOTT. Mrs. SMITH is a neighbor of the Democratic Nominee, a small reception is in progress. The idea of standing near the possible future President was too great of an opportunity to miss. |
| A motorcade awaited. The Governor of New York and the possible next President of the country always prefers a swift pace. With that, ROOSEVELT was swept down the Hudson to Manhattan. On the way he ordered to halt at a firehouse for good luck, he had done the same in the 1928 election, to telephone his daughter while being elected New York Governor —After this, the motorcade rushed on, the main concern for its speed was that being GUS GENERICH, one of ROOSEVELT’s bodygaurds, he had to get in town to cast his own ballot. |
ACROSS THE REPUBLIC
| Throughout the length & breadth of the land, some 40,000,000 American citizens were proceeding in quiet and orderly fashion to cast their ballots in the memorable Depression election of 1932. That most of them were marking "Roosevelt" instead of "Hoover" the former had at no time any doubt, but it is not likely that he or his most sanguine supporter had any idea of the completeness with which the country was swinging. |
BILTMORE HOTEL, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, [nation=short]Paramountica[/nation] — LATE EVENING
| ROOSEVELTs campaign headquarters at the Biltmore, is far more businesslike than what one might have projected. The outer rooms and lobby halls were festive with Democratic joy to the point of possible turbulence, but Franklin Delano Roosevelt, sitting at a long table in an inner room was not available to all comers who wished to greet him on this of greatest election nights — ROOSEVELT clad in a dark blue suit and blue tie received AL SMITH, also a former governor of New York and the Democratic Party’s 1928 nominee. But through all their cordialities and rejoicing, Democratic Nominee FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT continued to aid and concentrate on the election and electoral returns, the living figures of the votes of the people for him — FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT — to be President. A double row of girls lined the long table in front of him, their pencils flashing over sheets of paper which they passed up for him to scan. |
| JOHN W. DAVIS, the 1924 Democratic nominee who got nowhere and lost to COOLIDGE shook ROOSEVELTÂ’s hand and greeted him. |
[list]| [sub]JOHN W. DAVIS, ’24 Democratic Nominee[/sub] | “Frank, it’s wonderful!”[/list]
| AL SMITH, former New York Governor and 1928 Democratic Nominee also exclaimed in greeting Roosevelt: |
[list]| [sub]AL SMITH, ’28 Democratic Nominee[/sub] | “I am delighted!”[/list]
| Later a London based newspaper telephoned, asking ROOSEVELT about the returns and results. FDR replied with: |
[list]| [sub]FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, The Candidate[/sub] | “Wait until we hear from the West.”[/list]
| Although he had already won New YorkÂ’s popular and electoral vote, which everyone knew that was a prime indication of the final result. Afterwards later on, ROOSEVELT did get to speak to London again, where Prime Minister RAMSAY MacDONALD disobeyed doctorÂ’s orders by sitting up late to hear the returns at 10 Downing Street in London. |

| Meanwhile in Washington, Mr. WILLIAM MORAN, Chief of the Secret Service ordered two of his best men to proceed at once to New York and take up their duty of guarding the person of the 32nd President of the United States, with due speed. |
FDR’S PRIVATE TOWNHOUSE, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, [nation=short]Paramountica[/nation] — NIGHT
| Returning from the Biltmore to his town house at No. 49 E. 65th St., President-Elect ROOSEVELT ate some ham & eggs and went to bed. To the ever-present Press, before he went off for the night, he announced with a smile: |
[list]| [sub]FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President-Elect[/sub] | “I have work to do on the State Budget, That will keep me busy for the next few days. I'm not President yet."[/list]
| The election of this ROOSEVELT made a third "pair" of Presidents: |
[list][list]The two Adamses, who were father & son;
The two Harrisons who were grandfather and grandson;
And the two fifth-cousin Roosevelts.[/list][/list]
| Not since MARY WASHINGTON saw her son George elected had an American mother had the supreme pleasure of seeing her boy become head of the nation. Mrs. SARAH DELANO ROOSEVELT, 78, said: |
[list]| [sub]SARAH DELANO ROOSEVELT, Mother[/sub] | "You know, Franklin is only 50. He looks older tonight, but that is because he's tired. I never thought particularly about my son being President, but if he's going to be President, I hope he'll be a good one." [/list]
| After midnight, the next day — Accepting the President as the issue, nearly eight million more voters than ever before had gone to the polls in the United States, about 45,000,000 persons, yesterday gave to Franklin Delano Roosevelt the most overwhelming testimonial of approval ever received by a national candidate in the history of the nation. Except for the small corner of New England occupied by Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire . . . which was oscillating between Republican and Democratic in the early morning hours of Wednesday...the President was the choice of a vast preponderance of the voters in all parts of the country, and with him were re-elected as Vice President JOHN N. GARNER of Texas and an almost untouched Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. The Democratic national ticket will have a minimum of 519 electoral votes and a possible popular majority of ten millions. |
[list][pre]But the Democrats sweep into power with looming crisis, the economy remained in its Great Depression, millions were unemployed and no recovery was in sight — and some did not believe the 50 year old from New York had it in him to lead the republic in its most monumental nadir.[/pre][/list]

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - JULY 1933 - ISSUE°2
ANTI-VOLKIST PROTESTS IN DRESDEN VIOLENTLY PUT DOWN BY LANDESPOLIZEI; 6 DEAD, 29 INJURED
DRESDEN- Confirmation from the Landespolizei Dresden (Dresden Police Department) has been received in regards to the 22 July anti-Volkist protest that ended in chaos and confusion when Landespolizei units swept in and put down the riot violently. Until now only rumors of the worst were circulating in the public, but now confirmation of it has been delivered. According to the audited police report, Landespolizei officers put down the protest using force 'to discourage trouble among the public' and 'ensure the security of the Dresden populace'. As a result the protesters, who had been peaceful up to this point, fought back, resulting in the deaths of 6 German civilians and the injuring of 29 civilians.
The Staatskanzlei has not released an official statement on the 22 July Incident in Dresden, as the incident is now being called in the public eye, but the MP for Dresden, as well as President Paul von Hindenburg and the Innenministerium (Ministry of the Interior), have issued statements declaring their support for the families of the victims killed or injured in the protests gone violent.
REICHSTAG PASSES LEGISLATION BOOSTING FUNDING FOR 'DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIAL TRACTORS'
BERLIN- The Reichstag, now firmly in the hands of the DVP following the collapse of the DNVP, has passed the National Special Vehicles Act of 1933, boosting funding for 'the development of special transport vehicles as well as special tractor vehicles for the purposes of serving the combined interests of the state and the people'. In 1932, the Reichstag approved the development of the Staatliches Sonderfahrzeug, or the StS. According to the public record, the StS is a special project designed to develop 'special vehicles for transporting goods and assisting in farming purposes'. The Reichstag has now passed legislation boosting funding for the StS project, which is expected to begin 'commercial production' by spring 1934.

THE TRIBULATIONS OF LIBERTY![/B]
[sub]1932 | Monrovia, Montserrado County, Republic of Liberia[/sub]
When Edwin Barclay was chosen by his predecessor, Charles D.B. King, to ascend the Presidency in 1930, it wouldn't be realized until reaching office that the state of the Liberian Republic could be considered unenthusiastic, faced with the potential loss of it's own sovereignty. As financial instabilities, among others, began to mount, Barclay attempted to begin a reversal process against many of Liberia's antiquated laws. Hoping to spark an uproar of foreign investments to curtail the ongoing state of the nation, one of Barclay's first acts as President became the repeal of the Port of Entry Law of 1864, which since inception has prohibited or otherwise restricted foreign economic activities in Liberia.
As the Great Depression swept across the globe, the shockwave reached Liberia, and by the early 1930s the Republic teetered on the verge of bankruptcy as the price of rubber plummeted to 3¢ per pound, rendering the rubber trees planted six years in advance by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company that were now reaching tapping age, unprofitable for the season. With market prices at seemingly an all-time low, and at current sale value alone, rubber sales would only cover a menial portion of the costs associated with tapping, processing, and transportation to market. Alongside this, an outstanding foreign loan from Firestone that once represented Liberian advancement, now applied pressures upon the administration of President Edwin Barclay to fight for the Liberty they sought and rightfully established, the sovereignty of the Republic of Liberia. Barclay's administration soon thereafter entered negotiations on the loan terms with Firestone Co., seeking forebearance from the company on the payment scheme. Though, what the former American Colony instead received was an illusive attempt by Harvey Firestone at gunboat diplomacy, seeking to strong-arm and choke Liberia of every last Dollar, though ultimately at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer.
Eventually, the domestic negotiations about the enforcement of the loan terms were scuttled and, as a direct result, the National Legislature of Liberia passed the 1932 Moratorium Act, legally suspending all loan payments to Firestone until a more suitable plan could be negotiated that coincided with Liberia's ability to pay.
TRIBALISM, JIHAD, AND THE CROWN'S TAX![/B]
[sub] 29 December, 1930—16 February, 1931 | Kambia, Northern Province, Colony and Protectorate of Sierra Leone[/sub]
Shortly after Christmas Day, a letter formally addressed to the Kambia District Commissioner, an Englishman, from a local Mandinka healer and Islamic evangelist, Haidara Kontorfilli, detailed his warnings to the people of Kambia and governance that they must not only change their methods of exercising local power, but also heed conversion to Islam, or otherwise face the sword. Alarmed and disgruntled by the immediate threat posed by the Mandinka, the colonial administration began the arduous process of dredging up a list of charges in which to impress upon Haidara, aiming to cut the head directly from the snake.
Within a month's time, the Colonial Administration of the Sierra Leone Crown Colony and Protectorate based in Freetown, after much review, decidedly dropped the laundry list of charges in favor of formulating a much stronger case for sedition, itself viewed in broad scope as a form of grand treason, carrying with it an equally grand sentencing that ended only with execution or exile to the Gold Coast. This method disconnected chiefs and religious leaders from their respective peoples or followers, shattering their resistances and unitary resolve, proving to be a particularly effective tactic against the problematic tribals. All while, Haidara used this time to heal the sick, preach religious theology, and stress religious reform to the people of Kambia, acting as the guardian of the poor and disenfranchised, rapidly expanding his influence all while subsequently attracting a wide pool of zealous followers to his fervent cause, largely stemming from a fervent disobedience to the imposition of the Crown's "house tax".
Deriving from the earlier 'hut tax', it became the customary form of taxation of households within the colonial territories, regulating taxation on a per household basis, payable in money, labor, grain or stock and benefits the colonial authorities in several vital ways. This meant that resistance to the hut tax, at the very core of the struggle, ultimately became synonymous with declaration of war against the British Empire. Thereafter, on 9 February 1931, the Imperial authorities served Haidara with an expulsion order on principal charges, sedition and the dissemination of seditious libel, calling for Kontorfilli's peaceful surrender to any local constable or the colonial administration offices in Freetown. Disregarding this order, the Mandinka leader pledged in a second letter, this time addressed to the lowly of Kambia, explaining that the cause would never be humiliated by ending in surrender to the British authorities, stating further that his people continue their steadfast disobedience against the house tax.Â
Resulting from Haidara's failure to surrender, and further seditious rhetoric thereafter, the colonial administration was pressed to action, activating a contingent of the Royal West African Frontier Force stationed locally within the Kambia District to properly see to the arrest of Haidara Kontorfilli, and put a fitting end to the tax rebellion pestering the colonial regime. However, the Mandinka healer and his retinue of followers retreated to their stronghold in Bubuya, wherein they incited the local population to aid in carrying out civil demonstration against the House Tax, and furthermore, British Colonial rule. Armed with machetes, swords, a number of British back powder revolvers, and some rifles, the demonstrators rallied around Kontorfilli, just as he healed those in sickness, they believed he would shield them from the powers that be. There, Haidara and his supporters built up their defensive stockade over the course of a week as the Kambian District Commissioner absorbed the unit of Royal West African Frontier Force under his command and led them 29 kilometers southwest from Kambia toward Bubuya.
Inevitably, the Royal West African Frontier Force caught up with Haidara's cadre and clashed on 16 February in what could be described as a swift, brief altercation between the two forces. Haidara stood secured by four of his principal bodyguards also flanked by an amass of his devoted followers and other civil demonstrators rallied here, just outside Bubuya, Kambia District. Despite their best efforts, Kontorfilli's outfit disintegrated after bearing incursion by the RWAFF, leaving himself and his four bodyguards dead, all while, at very least, having succeeded in killing the Kambia District Commissioner, who took command of this contingent of the King's Royal West African Frontier Force. The death of their leadership node enough to disperse the civil discord, though despite martyrdom and the end of his rebellion, Haidara Kontorfilli did something many colonized peoples do not, touched and even killed an Englishman.

[sup]A Rivalry Unsettled[/sup][/list]
| [sub]It had been two months since the coup that ousted Phraya Mano as Prime Minister by the ‘Three Musketeers’, Phraya Phahon was confirmed as the new Prime Minister within twenty-four hours and the People’s Assembly had reconvened within a week, and the King had humbly accepted the outcome of the events. A new permanent constitution was being drafted to solidify the new Thai democracy.[/sub] |
| [sub]Under the surface however a bitter rivalry was eating away at the cohesion that had been built. Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram and Phraya Songsuradet had both played key roles in both the 1932 realisation of Thai democracy and the 1933 coup against former Prime Minister Mano, however relations between the two were far from perfect. Songsuradet regularly accused Phibun of having ‘dictatorial tendencies’ and the souring relations were exacerbated by Phibun’s appointment as Minister of Defence, and Songsuradet’s appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army.[/sub] |[list]
[sub]Arthit, Advisor: “General, the Minister of Defense is here to speak with you.”[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Songsuradet would look up from his paperwork, a heavy sigh leaving his mouth as he looked back down again.[/sub] |[list]
[sub]Songsuradet: “Tell him he’ll have to wait a minute while I get this paperwork sorted.”[/sub]
[sub]Phibun: “Too late I’m already here.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Songsuradet: “Just to correct you, I don’t hate you, I just detest your existence with every fibre of my being. Continue.[/sub]
[sub]Phibun: “Thank you, as I was saying we need to come to some sort of arrangement so that we don’t have to interact. So that would be you leaving your post as Commander-in-Chief.”[/sub]
[sub]Songsuradet: “We’re done here, leave. Immediately.”[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Song would stand quickly, grabbing a pen from his desk, moving towards Phibun to remove him from his office. The sudden movement would cause Phibun to startle backwards falling back leaning against the wall of the room.[/sub] |[list]
[sub]Songsuradet: “Take this pen, write your own damn resignation letter, or if you can’t do that shove it where the sun doesn’t shine, and get the f#ck out of my office.”[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Phibun would simply smirk taking the pen before quietly leaving the office as the advisor appeared with tea.[/sub] |

MAZIYA TIMES,SEPTEMBER 1933
ENGINE PROJECT FAILED
Weapon company,Loke Senjata started their engine project two months ago,they have recently unveiled their work and it backfired,drastically.Number 1 the engine only gained 2% more horsepower in comparison to the original,number 2 they made a few test models and all of the test models blew up and number 3 they became bigger and more bulkier,barely fitting into the tanks and adding unnecessary weight which removes the point of the project,to make the tanks faster with a more powerful engine and because of this massive backfire,funding from sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz was cutted out of the project as it was deemed a failure and too expensive to keep funding to get a version which will work and because of that the original engine which they broke down originally put it back together and placed it back in the original tank after repairs were made.Due to the lost of funding they cancelled the project and put the blueprints for that engine inside of a box.

REICHSPRASIDENTENPALAIS, WILHELMSTRASSE THOROUGHFARE, BERLIN, New Provenance — EVENING
[sub]PRESIDENTIAL DRAWING ROOM, REICHSPRASIDENTENPALAIS, BERLIN - 7:12PM[/sub]
| The cool evening air swept over the Reichsprasidentenpalais, the official residence of the Reichs President, as a tall man with an aura of authority walked along the path towards the front door, his car waiting just a few meters behind him. A Landespolizei officer standing guard at the front door nodded at the man before pulling the door open, revealing a piano playing faintly within, the light from inside spilling out into the darkness. KONRAD ADENAUER was there on business and intended for his trip to be fast. He nodded to MRS. HINDENBURG and young ANNE VON HINDENBURG in the dining room before heading upstairs to the presidential drawing room, where PAUL VON HINDENBURG was waiting. |
[list]| [sub]KONRAD ADENAUER, President of the Prussian State Council[/sub] | "Mein Prasident."[/list]
[list]| [sub]PAUL VON HINDENBURG, The President[/sub] | "Come in, come in, Herr Adenauer. Please, take a seat. Now-"[/list]
| Hindenburg took a puff of his cigarette before leaning back in his chair and staring right at Adenauer. |
[list]| [sub]PAUL VON HINDENBURG, The President[/sub] | "-To what do I owe the pleasure of this late night visit? I was just about to go downstairs to have supper with Martha and Anne."[/list]
[list]| [sub]KONRAD ADENAUER, President of the Prussian State Council[/sub] | "My apologies for the sudden disturbance, Herr Hindenburg, but I have information you must see at the earliest time possible. The country's future depends on it."[/list]
| Adenauer took out from his briefcase a brown manila envelope, just about the size of a regular letter. On it, stamped in black, read: "GEHEIM: LANDESPOLIZEIBERICHT ZUM REICHSTAGSBRAND", in English that being CLASSIFIED: POLICE REPORT ON THE REICHSTAG FIRE. |
[list]| [sub]PAUL VON HINDENBURG, The President[/sub] | "And, uh- What is this police report? I've already inspected them all from the Director, what is it you wish to point out?"[/list]
[list]| [sub]KONRAD ADENAUER, President of the Prussian State Council[/sub] | "Right here, Herr Prasident."[/list]
| Adenauer would gesture to one of the pages, on which the following was written at the very top, preceded by images of Chancellor Heidler and top members of the DVP-Staatsgarde: Die Beweise deuten auf die Möglichkeit hin, dass ein Volkist oder sogar die Partei selbst hinter dem Reichstagsbrand steckt. Verdächtige Personen, die mit der DVP-Staatsgarde in Verbindung stehen, wurden wenige Stunden vor Ausbruch des Feuers vor dem Reichstag angetroffen, und diese Informationen wurden von den Behörden unterdrückt, vermutlich auf Anweisung der Staatskanzlei. |
[list]| [sub]PAUL VON HINDENBURG, The President[/sub] | "You- This says explicitly that the DVP was behind the fire. Why would they do such a thing, if they were even responsible for it?"[/list]
[list]| [sub]KONRAD ADENAUER, President of the Prussian State Council[/sub] | "They call it a 'false flag operation', Herr Prasident. Operation unter falscher Flagge. The Reichstag was set ablaze to create an excuse for what we are seeing now. The death of German liberty."[/list]
[list]| [sub]PAUL VON HINDENBURG, The President[/sub] | "You imply our country's liberty- The liberty it is built upon, mind you - is in danger? In danger from the very party who has pledged to unify the country in these trying times, this damned Depression?"[/list]
[list]| [sub]KONRAD ADENAUER, President of the Prussian State Council[/sub] | "Precisely, Mein Herr."[/list]
[list]| [sub]PAUL VON HINDENBURG, The President[/sub] | "But this is merely a rumor, a theory by a high-ranking officer of the Landespolizei. I cannot act on this, there is no solid evidence. None at all."[/list]
| Adenauer would lean in forward, to make his point clear. |
[list]| [sub]KONRAD ADENAUER, President of the Prussian State Council[/sub] | "In the end it is your choice, Mein Herr. You can choose to leave the fascists be, and let Germany's liberty die, or you can act decisively and protect the foundation of the Weimar Republic. Thank you for your time, Mein Prasident."[/list]
| Adenauer soon departed, leaving Hindenburg alone in his drawing room, contemplating the future of the Weimar Republic. Mere minutes later, the telephone in the room rang and the Weimar President stepped up to pick it up. |
[list]| [sub]A. HEIDLER, The Chancellor[/sub] | "Herr Prasident, I have received information from the Büro für Sonderaufklärung (Office for Special Reconnaissance) of a traitor within our midst.

BERLIN CHARITE HOSPITAL, BERLIN, New Provenance — EVENING
[sub]NURSE'S STATION, WEST WING, BERLIN CHARITE HOSPITAL - 9:07PM[/sub]
| GRETA WINKELL, a senior veteran nurse at Berlin Charite Hospital and the fiancee of ARNOLD HOCH, a senior surgeon at the hospital, was working with an aura of loneliness around her that evening. On one hand her husband had been away in Munich for the past few days, attending a medical conference, and she was now one of two nurses in the entire west wing of the hospital. The other nurse, ILSA, was busy using the bathroom, and Greta was doodling on a blank piece of paper, ready to spring into action if one of the patients needed her. Suddenly, she heard a door open in the distance. |
[list]| [sub]GRETA WINKELL, Senior Nurse[/sub] | "H- Hello? Ilsa, is that you?"[/list]
| No response. The dim-lighted hallway made the whole thing far more scarier for Greta than it ought to be. |
[list]| [sub]GRETA WINKELL, Senior Nurse[/sub] | "Jesus Christ, Ilsa . . . Don't do this to me, for God's sake. I'll kill you!"[/list]
| Nothing. However, Greta could make out what seemed to be a shadow approaching her. It was most certainly male, quite well-built, dressed in a dark trench coat and a hat. The person was clearly attempting to look inconspicuous, but as he was in an empty hallway he was spotted immediately by Greta. |
[list]| [sub]GRETA WINKELL, Senior Nurse[/sub] | "Sir? Sir . . . visiting hours are from 9AM to 7PM, we're not accepting visitors at the moment . . . Sir?"[/list]
| The man continued walking for a few more seconds as Fraulein Winkell stood still, too shocked by the whole situation to move an inch or call Ilsa, who was likely still using the bathroom. The 'intruder' stopped just as his face became clear, and Greta's eyes widened in shock. |
[list]| [sub]GRETA WINKELL, Senior Nurse[/sub] | "Salahuddin Dabbagh? You were with uh . . . President Rashid, weren't you-?"[/list]
[list]| [sub]SALAHUDDIN DABBAGH, Iraqi politician[/sub] | "Shut up. Tell me what really happened to the President. You filthy scumbags killed him on purpose, didn't you? To achieve your own gains. Tell me the damn truth!"[/list]
| As Dabbagh raised his voice, he raised his pistol alongside it, ready and aimed at Nurse Winkell. Greta shuddered in fright and by impulse put her hands in the air, walking backwards by a few steps before halting. |
[list]| [sub]GRETA WINKELL, Senior Nurse[/sub] | "Herr Dabbagh, this must be all a misunderstanding, we didn't kill him, we couldn't-"[/list]
[list]| [sub]SALAHUDDIN DABBAGH, Iraqi politician[/sub] | "Yes, yes, as if. Rashid was a strong man, a very strong man, he wouldn't die just like that. Now, tell me, who killed him, and why?"[/list]
[list]| [sub]GRETA WINKELL, Senior Nurse[/sub] | "We didn't- Nobody killed him!"[/list]
[list]| [sub]SALAHUDDIN DABBAGH, Iraqi politician[/sub] | "I'll give you one last chance, Fraulein. What did you do to the President, and why did you kill him?"[/list]
[list]| [sub]GRETA WINKELL, Senior Nurse[/sub] | "We didn't-"[/list]
| Bang. Greta's body falls to the ground, shot once in the shoulder, quite near to the area of the heart. Dabbagh, knowing the Landespolizei would be onto him in no time, would stare at the nurse's bleeding body for a few seconds before making a run for it. The Charite Hospital was large and unfamiliar to him, however, and he ended up getting lost, thus wasting valuable time he could have spent escaping. At 9:23PM local time, Salahuddin Dabbagh is apprehended by Landespolizei officers and is detained for the attempted murder of Greta Winkell, a Senior Nurse at Charite Hospital. Winkell is sent into a coma and Dabbagh is locked in jail, pending trial by German courts. |

POUND STERLING SLOPES[/pre][/sub][/list]
| Two summers ago, 1931, and a summer after the American wall street crash, so many British marketers sold Pound Sterling and sodded off to Dollars and/or Francs, and so little did the vice versa, the Treasury Exchequer had very little gold left in the Bank of England. So little in fact, to prevent a total dry-out of the Bank of EnglandÂ’s reserves, Great Britain and her Empire stopped payment in the form of gold. The Pound Sterling sloped downwards because of that. |
[sup]After the summer of 1931, Whitehall created the Equalization Fund of £150,000,000; increased to £350,000,000 in May of this year, 1933 and used for the purpose and right of the Bank of England to act as the government’s agent to buy Pound Sterling when others would not, and sell when others went in to buy, all-in-all to keep Pound Sterling from fluctuating too much as the worldwide Great Depression continued on.[/sup]
[sup]This month, September 1933, newfound pressure hit London markets from the Continent. Bear speculators started going after the Pound Sterling and because of this, the Pound Sterling started to slope down from 85 francs to 83 francs, and every 10,000 downwards the Bank of England’s E.F. was moving it up but could not stop the total slopedown to 81 francs to the Pound Sterling in less than three days. Neither the Bank of England or European Continental institutions stepped in, allowing the currency to find its ‘natural level’. Governor MONTAGU NORMAN of the Bank of England was in the United States all week, spending time at Bar Harbor in the American state of Maine. He is expected to travel southward to Washington, the American capital to speak with President Roosevelt at the behest of GEORGE HARRISON, a deputy counterpart by way as head of the Federal Reserve bank of New York. Like our Anglosphere brothers across the Atlantic, financial Britons wonder where their currency is going next. 1933 marks the first year the Pound Sterling has fallen faster than the dollar.[/sup]

| The battlefield was silent for it was now a field of blood and a field of death. The ground was scattered with the remaining hatred and a will to live that seeped out of the long dead bodies. The battlefield which was once a beautiful field filled with the daily whisperings of the wind was now…dead. Dead, like the bodies that lay on the ground. Second Lieutenant Mohammad Askar was no stranger to this sight, he had commanded Egyptian Brigade forces in the Anglo-Egyptian war against breakaway Sudanese rebels since 1896 under the supervision of British Field-Marshal MacDonald, Lewis and Kitchner — pushing the Sudanese rebels to the heart of their country and delivering a final blow to their forces in the heart of Khartoum. 18,000 Egyptian and Sudanese soldiers had pledged their lives to protect British rule over Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and 429 of those either being wounded or killed in action providing great sacrifice for the continuity of British rule in Nubia and Sudan. |

NORGE REGIERING
Norwegian Authorities Take the Situation Seriously and Sends Police Forces to Prepare to Confiscate Illegal Weapons. The Law of Norway Applies in Svalbard.
Information about the presence of armed soviet personnel deeply worried the Norwegian administration. In Oslo, the Prime Minister opened an "information request" to the Interior Ministry.
The Interior Ministry was at first in shock about the information that they did not believe it at first. Three days later, a report from the King's Prosecutor confirms the situation.
The Foreign Ministry is then informed immediately about the situation with the Ambassador of Norway in Moscow relaying the following message.
"We have been informed by several reports including your letter of December 1932 that the Soviet Union has sent arms and people to the region of Svalbard.
We must inform you that this region is Norwegian territory and by no means can Soviet officials replace the public prerogative from the Politi.
The safety of Soviet or Norwegian or any citizen for that matter in these mining towns belongs to the responsability of the Politi and the Animal Regulation Office.
These mining towns are only commercial concessions and the sovereignty of the area still belongs to the Kingdom of Norway.
I inform you that legal proceedings will be starting against anyone owning a firearm without authorisation according to the Law of the 12th of July 1930.
Furthermore, the import without check of Norwegian authorities is also against legal requirements of Norway when it comes to the import of dangerous items listed in Annex 12 of the Decree n°194-1925."
It was necessary for the Foreign Office to keep the problem as a police problem and not a military affair to avoid any type of escalation.
Svalbard Politi
The Svalbard Local Station only comprised of 12 officers. 5 for the penal department, 5 for the environmental department, and 1 for the trade department. This wasn't enough.
To reinforce the police operation, the Tromso Police Division, and the Narvik Police Division were called to move forward towards Svalbard. The two police divisions would comprise of nearly 300 police officers mostly armed but also equipped for riots.
Another supply of 500 police officers of the Bergen Division were also in route to the north but would take more time to reach the area.
The Ministry of Interior coordinated with the Governor of Svalbard, Uke Jenssen for the arrival of the convoy escorted by Norwegian navy. They consisted of two old destroyers which would remain in position around Norwegian territorial waters of the island to prevent further imports of so called "security guards" or "defensive weapons".
In a telephone call with Oslo, the Governor, furious about the situation, said to the Prime Minister : "The law of Norway applies in Svalbard by the Svalbardloven of the 25th of June 1925 ! We must act on this matter to ensure that Norwegian law remains clear in this territory".
The Police Operation would hopefully be swift and clean. Arrests would be made, some would receive fines up to 200 NOK, and for those who may have instigated all this, would be prosecuted and trialed back in Tromso.

[pre]Ciudad de México, Distrito Federal, República Mexicana[/pre]
| CANDIDATES FOR 1934 ELECTION BEGIN TO GET SELECTED, NEW COAT OF ARMS AND CHANGES TO THE FLAG |
| [I]President Abelardo L. RodrÃguez announced today that the new Coat of Arms of the Mexican Republic had been approved. President RodrÃguez attended a signing ceremony at the Congress of Mexico in order for the new Arms to take place. The traditional arms of Mexico, which has been in use on the Mexican flag since the independence of Mexico from the Spanish Empire, was updated to be given a more "modern" and "20th century" look. The color of the cactus that the eagle stood on was changed and the water underneath it removed. The wreath of encino and laurel was updated to be given a modern look and wrapped further round the Coat of Arms than previously. Members of the National Revolutionary Party showed incredible support for the flag design. Members of the public were also well receiving to it. This marks the first change to the national flag since 1916, when the stance of the eagle was changed, along with other minor tweaks to the coat of arms.[/I] |
| [I]As the election intensity begins to heat up, the final choices of the parties for their candidates have mostly been made. The governing National Revolutionary Party chose Lázaro Cárdenas del Rio, a former general in the Constitutionalist Army during the Mexican Revolution and Constitutional Governor of the Free and Sovereign State of Michoacán de Ocampo. Cárdenas was very loyal to former President Calles, who founded the National Revolutionary Party. Cárdenas will run on a Six Year Plan platform including: "destruction of the hacienda economy and creation of a collective system of ejidos (common lands) under government control; modern secular schools and eradication of the influence of the Catholic Church; and workers' cooperatives to oppose the excesses of industrial capitalism."
Cárdenas received the support of former President Calles, all but confirming his nomination by the National Revolutionary Party. President RodrÃguez endorsed Cárdenas in an announcement from the Presidential Mansion on Monday.
For the National Regeneration Movement, everyone knew that Alberto Castillo was going to win the support of his party. Castillo founded the right-wing party after the National Revolutionary Party began to take hold in the last decade. Castillo is a known supporter and sympathizer of German Chancellor Heidler and his DVP. Castillo calls for a "Mexican Regeneration", for the betterment solely of the Mexican people. Castillo, who is a member of Congress, has made fiery speeches in support of strong Mexican nationalism, anti-communism, and many other characteristics shared by Chancellor Heidler's party.
The Communist Party of Mexico had become the dominant party in the Democratic Left, the coalition of left-leaning parties to oppose the NRP and the NRM. Miguel Alemán Valdés had been selected as the nominee for all 3 of the constituent parties: the Mexican Communist Party, Valdés' own Mexican Socialist Party, and the Workers' Labor Party. Valdés looks poised to outperform any other left-leaning candidate in Mexico's history in the very contentious election ahead. The Democratic Left advocates for social democracy, the abolition of the Senate, the reformation of the voting system, the end of the Catholic Church's influence over the government, and the elimination of poverty.[/I] |
| [I]With the stage now set for a three-way show down, the 1934 election is shaping up to be the most consequential election in Mexican history. Cárdenas, Castillo, and Valdés all pose different views of a modern Mexico, and only time will tell which man will lead her into the 20th century.[/I] |

From the Bosporus to the Caucasus
| May 10, 1933 |
Location: Ankara, Turkey, Republican Parliament
The announcement of a new Five-Year Plan comes on the heels of President Ataturk giving a speech before the Turkish parliament of new plans being implemented to safeguard Turkish trade in the Eastern Mediterranean and its surrounding vicinity, as well as the expansion of its military presence in the Bosporus straits and the Black Sea. Ataturk had said that these new protectionist policies are just the beginning of a long line of resolutions soon to come through parliament within the next year. He gave a speech earlier today.
| President Ataturk |
“Today marks the beginning of the greatest transformation of the Turkish state since the end of the first world war. Today we see a new nation rise from the ashes of what was once known as the sick man of Europe. Today, we witness change in our time.
The dictates of the past will no longer be a hindrance to us, and the old shall be replaced with the new of this generation. Across the country now, industry is being modernized through the funds that we have made available. Workers are pouring into the factories and building new and advanced engines and chassis for our new civilian and military vehicles, as wells new and improved ammo and equipment to stock our ever-growing defensive force.
As well, we’re continuously rebuilding and updating infrastructure nationwide, and revolutionizing our logistics industry like never before. Soon we’ll have modern roads and railways stretching from the Bosporus to the Caucasus, from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, and everywhere in between. Turkey will be a modern nation yet.”
The crowd erupted into a loud applause which filled the parliament hall. However, there were some who werenÂ’t cheering at all. ItÂ’s been reported that there are elements in the government who oppose the president and his rising popularity. Over the past several years, AtaturkÂ’s opponents have been taking note of his consolidation of popularity and power. More details are soon to come as the situation develops in Ankara, and as reconstruction gets underway.

[list]With the Greek Armed Forces now being one of the strongest forces in the Balkans, with a good army and navy, to secure further safety for the nation, we have looked over to the Italians. Earlier this year, an alliance was secured with the Yugoslavians and the Italians, which further cemented claims of the new 'Balkan Pact' which would have the Kingdoms of Italy, Yugoslavia, and Greece sign a military pact that would dominate the Balkan region. In a move to support Yugoslavia, naval exercises have been held in the Adriatic Sea, which only further strengthened relations. Following this, we have turned to our Italian allies to the West for collaboration, specifically for the military. In August 1932, an agreement was signed stating the agreement to share and to collaborate on military means. This means sharing all equipment, doctrines, and tactics between Italy and Greece, a move that both nations were willing to take for future development and innovations.[/list]
[list]In September, the first Greek GTL-33 Light Tanks arrived in Italian ports, with Italian engineers marveling at the sight. This was the start of the Greco-Italian Medium Tank project, which by 1935 would see a new standardized medium tank seeing service in both armies. Along with this, mountain vehicles such as armored cars would be designed and introduced by 1936. Furthermore, new weapons would be made such as rifles, machine guns, anti-tank guns, other forms of infantry impression, and other various weapons of war. Meanwhile, a naval deal has been struck up as since the Italian Armed Forces has been getting all this help from Greece, the deal was to hand over a modernized armored cruiser to Greece, this being the Pisa Class cruiser of the same name, 'Pisa'. The Pisa is the sister ship to the Georgios Averof, the former Greek Navy flagship, replaced by the new Athena class battleships. The Pisa will be handed over to Greece, modernized, by the end of the year, and will bear the name 'Ioannis Metaxas', namesake being Greek military dictator, Ioannis Metaxas. [/list]

| Only the Meiji could have known. Firm on this conviction a spruce record of at a loss for words Japanese Army officials rode out from Tokyo one sunrise ultimate week to a smelly park of pine and camphor trees. They crossed a gurgling brook, entered a spotlessly smooth quadrangle and confronted with awe the Meiji Shrine, an unpainted wood building, austere, brilliant and, to Japanese, sublime. The at a loss for words officials were sitting as a courtroom docket-martial in Tokyo seeing that July 25. Their thankless activity became to mete out justice to 11 Army cadets, confessed conspirators withinside the assassination of "Pacifist" Premier KI INUKAI. |
| Not most effective for this are the cadets country wide heroes. They additionally plotted a coup to rip up the Japanese constitution, oust "grafting politicians" and restore "direct Imperial rule.” Clearly the judges, who might themselves be assassinated should their sentence prove too harsh, confronted a sensitive predicament. Reluctant to take the duty of creating up their personal minds they grew to become with comfort to the August Spirit of the MEIJI EMPEROR. He gave Japan her Constitution. In his lengthy, wonderful reign the Empire sprang from medieval lethargy to trendy may. After praying on the MEIJI Shrine ultimate week the officials emerged not perplexed. |
| Their selection: the 11 Army cadets are sentenced to imprisonment for 4 years without difficult labor, however provision became made to parole them inside a year. Up to ultimate week 357,000 Japanese had petitioned the Government to loose the Army cadets. Only sixteen Japanese had written to call for that the culprits be positioned to a stronger sentence. |
| Meanwhile at Yokosuka Naval Base, close to Yokohama, the courtroom docket-martial of the 10 Naval officials who joined in plotting revolt and devoted homicide of Premier INUKAI labored up ultimate week to a first-rate pitch of Japanese patriotic frenzy. Arguing that the confessed culprits need to pass loose, Senior Defense Counsel ICHIRO KIYOSE, a Member of the Imperial Diet, screeched in his very last attraction: |
[list][list]「この法廷ドケットの選択は、私たちの帝国の運命の上方への押し上げまたは崩壊に依存しています!法廷ドケットが、被告人の役人を動機付ける純粋で愛国的な信念に完全な注意を向けることができない場合、2,000,000ロットの軍艦が保護するのに無駄になる可能性があります 海軍の精神が壊れる可能性があるという事実のために国!」

| It was not mere bombast however for Japan. When the prosecution closed via way of means of traumatic dying sentences for 3 of the 10 prisoners and lengthy prison phrases for the rest, fierce indignation boiled up at Japanese Naval bases, scared the Government into forbidding the Press to print information of what became going on in Naval circles. Tokyo tingled with rumors that Naval hotheads had been plotting clean acts of terror to pressure out moderate Naval Minister Admiral MINEO OSUMI. Fire-ingesting Vice-Admiral SUETSUGU, commander of the 2nd Naval Squadron, became alleged to be the plottersÂ’ preferred candidate for replacement. |

[list][list][sub]DER AUFSTIEG DES PANZERS, DEUTSCHLANDS OBERSTE KRIEGSWAFFE[/sub]
[pre]THE RISE OF THE PANZER, GERMANY's SUPREME WEAPON OF WAR[/pre][/list][/list]
| In August 1932, the Reichstag passed legislation officially starting development on the Staatliches Sonderfahrzeug, or the StS. Officially designated as a 'special mobility vehicle' by the government and called by the press as a 'special tractor vehicle', the program did not raise much suspicion internationally; that was the point. In truth, the program was run by the German Army and was developing a true marvel of technology: the Panzer. A fast, mobile and well-armored tank, the Panzers were intended to lead the charge in the highly experimental "Blitzkrieg" doctrine of Oswald Lutz, a German Army general who formulated the doctrine of lightning fast tank advances followed by swift attacks by infantry on mobile vehicles. Lutz and his chief of staff, the visionary Heinz Guderian, who envisioned a tank corps (panzerkorps) composed of several types of tanks to deliver swift and lethal blows to the enemy. An excerpt from Guderian's detailed document delivered to Chancellor A. Heidler following his ascension to the chancellorship: |
[list][list][pre]Ich schlage ein Panzerkorps vor, das sich aus verschiedenen Arten von gepanzerten Fahrzeugen zusammensetzt, darunter ein langsamer Infanteriepanzer, der mit Kleinkaliberwaffen und mehreren Maschinengewehren bewaffnet und schwer gepanzert wäre, um sich gegen Panzerabwehrkanonen und Artillerie zu verteidigen. Ein weiterer Panzer wäre ein schneller Durchbruchspanzer, der gegen feindliche Panzerabwehrwaffen gepanzert und mit einer großen 75-mm-Hauptkanone ausgestattet wäre. Schließlich würde auch ein schwerer Panzer zu diesem Panzerkorps gehören, der mit einer 150-mm-Hauptkanone ausgestattet ist, um Befestigungen zu räumen, und der über eine noch stärkere Panzerung verfügt.[/pre]
[pre]I propose a panzerkorps composed of several different types of armored vehicles, including a slow infantry tank, armed with small-caliber weapons and several machine guns, that would be heavily armored to defend against anti-tank guns and artillery. Another would be a fast breakthrough tank, which would be armored against enemy anti-tank weapons and would be equipped with a large 75mm main gun. Lastly, a heavy tank would also be a part of this panzerkorps, equipped with a 150mm main gun to clear out fortifications, and equipped with even stronger armor.[/pre][/list][/list]
| The Leder took a strong liking to the plan, calling it 'wunderbar'. Under his direction and with the influence of the powerful DVP, the Reichstag boosted funding for the StS program, which was secretly working on the Panzerkampfwagen I (Armored fighting vehicle Mark I), or the Panzer I. It would not serve as a main battlefield and combat tank, but would instead serve as a training vehicle to train German tank crews in the new system developed by Guderian. Once launched, the tank's official German ordnance inventory designation would be Sd.Kfz. 101 (special purpose motor vehicle 101). It is expected that by 1937 the first combat variant for the Panzer line, the Panzerkampfwagen III (Panzer III), will enter service as a medium tank, officially designated as the Sd.Kfz. 141. |[/list]

[list]| In a recent referendum held in June 1933, an act was passed to push for educational and school reform in the nation. This is because of the extremely large amounts of cash being spent on the armed forces, and in a surprising act of democracy, the referendum was held. With the results being declared in July, a whopping 96% of the voters wanted education reform, and to call for a cut on military spending. Following this, a conference was held between Greece's relatively small Department of Education and the large Military High Command to discuss the issue, which would eventually be resolved. The agreed terms were to cut military spending by 50% and to increase Greece's educational program by 70%, which was now Greece's top priority. With Greek education reform now on center stage, plans that would span nearly one year were put into effect, a plan which would see most Greek children educated and fully built and supplied schools by 1934. |
| In a move never before seen by Greece, a more democratic and beneficial move would be made for not only Greece but for future generations. This massive project would see many children, teenagers, and young adults now being educated by top brass, and for limited or even for no cost at all. This new education program will see nearly 2,000 government-funded schools, education centers, and universities being built all over the country, and will range from Grades One up until College. The free cost will result in shorter, and fewer school days, but will have more intriguing, relevant, and overall more conducive and interesting topics. The topics learned will mostly be the same for all levels, but higher levels will have more complicated topics. Subjects for all to learn are Greek, Social Studies, Science, Art, and in some cases, English. All materials and supplies will not be supplied by teachers or the schools, but by the government themselves. Even the pencils and paper will be supplied by the government. |

MAZIYA TIMES,OCTOBER 1933
NEW MILITARY BRANCH,KEMULIAAN ANJING
A new unusual branch of the military was founded for soldiers who refused to carry firearms after repeated request from those soldiers to issue a branch of the military focused on training soldiers who don't want to use firearms.Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz finally gave in to the request and made the "Kemuliaan Anjing" a branch of the military trained with the martial arts style,Silat,usage of throwing axes and knives and usage of the Besi Bangkit as frontline cannon fodder as a way to counter the modern era firearms.Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz expressed his opinion on this new branch with a sigh before saying in a interview. "I'm trying to modernize,Maziya military first to ensure our nation independence if we get invaded,but there will always be those who refuse to keep up with the times and rather stay true to the old ways and I respect that but in the current ever changing military equipment I've seen in other countries like in The Kingdom Of Greece and after looking at the power their military possessed compared to our military I don't think it's a good idea to have this branch but I will have it around to appease those who refused to keep up with the times."

KOUBBEH PALACE
[sub]DOWNTOWN CAIRO, CAIRO, Kotakuan Ii — EVENING[/sub]
| King Ahmed Fuad I of Egypt, and Sovereign of Nubia, the Sudan, Kordofan and Darfur, died shortly after 1 oÂ’clock this afternoon at Koubbeh Palace. He died of a heart attack that followed a tenacious four-day fight against a gangrenous infection in the throat. Crown Prince Farouk, 14 years old and now attending school in England, will come to the throne under a regency until his 18th Birthday. |
| The Regency will be composed of three men whose names were written on a piece of paper, sealed in an envelope and then opened by the proper authorities. The news came as a shock to the population of Cairo as at midday a bulletin was issued to the effect that the King had passed a satisfactory night. Fever had subsided, it was stated, and his general condition, which had been sustained by admirable moral force, showed certain signs of improvement. |
| This news is a dangerous development for the political establishment in Egypt, which provides little doubt that the Young Egypt Party will seek to exploit the impending instability to make further gains electorally. With the lack of stability now, given a 14 year old King and a regency formed of the former kings friends and allies (including a former Foreign Minister and Prime Minister), the Young Egypt Party will ramp up their efforts and demagoguery to persuade the people of Egypt that the YEP is the future, and the only way for Egypt to develop into a major world player pushing Colonial influence out of Egypt. On the contrary, the death of King Fuad was received with solemness and respect by the British Parliament with both the British Prime Minister and leader of the opposition paying their respects and condolences to a man who contributed so much to not only Egypt but to science, literature and knowledge. |
[list]| [sub]TAWFIQ NASIM, Regent to King Farouk [/sub] | “Farouk will assume his full constitutional powers upon reaching his age of majority on 29 July 1937 — when he turns 18. He has big shoes to fill, I wonder how this will take a toll on his wellbeing”
| [sub]MAHMOUD FAKHRI, Regent to King Farouk[/sub] | “I will miss Fuad, one of my most dearest and trusted friends, one of the most pure of heart men I will ever know but we must not spend long mourning, it’s not what he would have wanted. We must make Farouk’s ascendancy to the throne one of seamlessness and without fear ”[/list]
| The two regents would hold up their Fine China Mugs which contained Egyptian Hibiscus tea as a toast to the life of King Fuad, and the new King Farouk |
[list] | [sub]MAHMOUD FAKHRI, Regent to King Farouk[/sub] | “Allah yarhamuh, may he enter Allah’s paradise. LONG LIVE EGYPT AND THE KING!”[/list]
| The Egyptian Flag would be flown at half mast in respect to the former King, and a weeks period of national mourning has been commenced which will include a new bank holiday which commemorates the life of King Fuad. Cairo was in a state of shock, but others had more . . . malicious initial thoughts. |

Of course this is understandable, being a big step for a young monarch in his early years, but the Emperor's heart is calm. |

His Majesty will only initiate the marriage until his brother’s scandal is resolved, so the Emperor informed the councillors and government about the Crown Prince’s scandal — everyone agreed to keep this secret in absolute secrecy as Yi Geon is the CROWN PRINCE OF JOSEON and any scandal involving the Crown Prince could put the monarchy in trouble. |
| But the CROWN PRINCESS MATSUDAIRA YOSHIKO still doesnÂ’t know about the scandal involving her husband, the Crown Prince, and if it depends on His Majesty, she wonÂ’t know, as it could damage relations with Japanese royals.

Project Twilight
November 20, 1933 --- Karataş, Adana Province, Turkey
| The sun was setting across the east sea, passersby were striding along the beach, either families heading home, or lovers just arriving. Cars could be heard driving by on the road up on the hill overlooking the beach. The green grass separating the sand and the road tumbled in the wind like the waves out on the sea. The sands of the beach were of a yellow, brownish color, and its texture was like that of freshly ground coffee. The waves crashed up on the shore, smoothing out the sand as the wind picked up from the outer sea and chilled the region in a cool blanket. One could see couples lighting and huddling near small fires as the sun had set more and more, as they were winding down from the weak in the factories.
Ever since parliament had passed the Recovery Act, many citizens who used to work in more agrarian businesses had moved into the factories and began work on making materials to reindustrialize the region. However, something that the president had not mentioned was what was deeply buried in the Recovery Act. In the small village of Karataş on the southern coast near Syria, a new testing sight for advanced weapons design had been constructed. Disguised to look like a civilian industrial complex, this had been the hub of Turkish naval research in the Mediterranean for the past 3 months. The smokestacks could almost be seen in the setting of the sun when Miraç had looked back ominously as he sat down next to his girlfriend, Yara, as the fire began to pick up |
| Yara | "WhatÂ’s wrong?"
Miraç shook his head
| Miraç | "I am not certain…. Maybe I’m coming down with something."
Yara tilted her head as a smile came from the corner of her mouth
| Yara | "I know when youÂ’re lying to me, sevgilim. You donÂ’t need to hide from me."
Miraç sighed and said
| Miraç | "I am uneasy of these new factories. My parents have tended to the lands around this area for generations, and now suddenly, we’ve been forced into the city to find work and leave our lives behind."
Yara grimaced slightly as she spoke empathetically
| Yara | "I know how hard it must be. My family were farmers too. But when my father went off to war, my mother and I fled from our home village outside of Edirne to Istanbul with my grandparents. Once the Empire started to crumble, my parents thought that there was nothing left but to go back home. As soon as the war was over, we went back to our farm to rebuild, only to find it occupied by a Greek family who had moved into the area. My parents left once more, so discouraged that there was nothing left for us there. So, we turned our backs and never returned to my village, and we found ourselves here. Understand that I am not telling you these things to make light of your situation, but to tell you that I understand. And that no matter what happens, there is a purpose and plan for everything that happens. Allah sees to that, after allÂ… he did ensure that I met you."
| Yara had looked up coyly to Miraç. Her eyes glistened in the light of the fire, as the sun completed its settlement in the Western sky. As he looked in her eyes, all the pain and frustration seemed to waste away for the moment. Fear was replaced by joy, and anger was replaced by ecstasy as his lips touched hers. |

THE LINDBERGH HOME, HIGHFIELDS
[sub]HOPEWELL, NEW JERSEY, Paramountica — DAYBREAK[/sub]
[list][pre]On the night prior, Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, an American hero, had vanished from his crib on the upper floor of Highfields, a home built by the Lindberghs in the year before, 1931 — It was in-between New York, NY and Princeton University.[/pre][/list]
| It was a recent construction, how recent — only a year old. A colonial styled home painted white upon a small hill; acres of grass groves as far as one could see and close enough, the wooded thicket of New Jersey. There were two things of noticeable first glance, the Giant Lamps that must have burnt all night, and the array of police cars parked both on the road and roadside — Soon enough, a black automobile arrives and out steps J. EDGAR HOOVER, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and CLYDE TOLSON, one of the Director’s deputies. A local county NJ OFFICER comes from across the side of the home to greet them. |
[list]| An OFFICER, [sub]N.J. State Police[/sub] | “This morning alone not only has President Hoover wired in, but so has Will Rogers, Governor Roosevelt, the Customs Department, the U.S. Mail and the Boy Scouts— Say, you wouldn’t have any relation to—”
| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “No I do not, our names are merely alike in form only.”[/list]
| J. EDGAR turns his attention to the NJ POLICE as they reach the side of the house, under the open upstairs window that had once been baby Lindbergh’s nursery — the NJ POLICE were trudging around, mixing their footprints in with what would have been the alone kidnapper’s, in the soft shallow grassy mud. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “Get off that dirt, get away from that dirt. You all are trampling upon evidence!”[/list]
| NJ State Police COL. SHWARTKOFF came to meet J. EDGAR and TOLSON, clearly the man in charge and first Chief of the NJ State Police. |
[list]| COL. SHWARTKOFF, [sub]N.J. State Police[/sub] | “. . . Nothing there, no defined footprints at all, seemed to be wearing fabric underneath his shoes.”
| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “And you don’t believe the size of the footprints holds some merit or value?”[/list]
| J. EDGAR points to the open window on the upper (second-story) floor. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “How did he get up there? I gather there were marks upon the window and wall you’ve gotten rid of by now?”

| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “Well congratulations, to your entire state police department — you’ve completely contaminated the crime scene at hand — now if you’d please Colonel Shwartzkoff, take your boots and get them off this property—”
| COL. SHWARTKOFF, [sub]N.J. State Police[/sub] | “What right, Mr—?”
| CLYDE TOLSON, [sub]Associate Director of the FBI[/sub] | “Hoover, J. Edgar. Director of the FBI. We’ve been dispatched directly by President Hoover himself. The President has also given authorization to review all documents and evidence—”
| COL. SHWARTKOFF, [sub]N.J. State Police[/sub] | “Mr. Hoover, you’re more than welcomed to watch and observe, but New Jersey is not Washington’s domain.”
| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “Where is Mr. Lindbergh? I’d like to hear from him on this matter, himself.”[/list]
BACKYARD GARAGE / THE LINDBERGH HOME — CONTINUOUS
| Surrounded by workmen installing a bank of telephone wires, J. EDGAR examines the LADDER; it’s home-made, each of its three pieces measure 80.5 inches. The sections must have fit neatly into each other to form a 20-foot ladder that would collapse to 6 — A side-rail on the center section has split along the wooden grain. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “He fell five feet.”
| CHARLES LINDBERGH, [sub]American Aviator[/sub] | “Who did?”[/list]
| Revealing CHARLES LINDBERGH, an American hero, the first man to fly across the Atlantic solo by flight from New York to Paris. He was dressed well, a sign of the wealth that fame brought him, but bearing signs of no sleep, his focus entirely towards J. EDGAR. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “The kidnapper, or kidnappers . . . with the child in his arms, the split upon the ladder was coming down, if they’d been coming up, the ladder would have broken apart with every step upwards . . . the ladder was designed to bear the weight of a man alone, not a man and child.”
| COL. SHWARTKOFF, [sub]N.J. State Police[/sub] | “Pure speculation, we have other theories, Mr. Hoover.”
| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “The ransom note, may I glance upon it, Mr. Shwartzkoff?”[/list]
| COL. SHWARTZCOFF pulls out the note from his coat pocket, with some hesitation, before offering it up. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “Touching it with your bear hands?
| COL. SHWARTKOFF, [sub]N.J. State Police[/sub] | “There’s none of those fancy ‘finger imprints’ you find so important, Mr, Hoover, we checked.”[/list]
| J. EDGAR takes the note, with a clean handkerchief and reads it outloud, to TOLSON, to take notes — the distinct spacing, the spelling and grammar. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “. . . “Have $50,000 redy” — That’s ready without an ‘a’ — “We will inform you were” — Where without an ‘h’ — “to deliver the mony” — Money without the ‘e’ — “We warn you for making anyding” — the last word, anything I gather — “public or notifying the police. Indication for all letters are SINGnature” — S-I-N-G SING-nature.”[/list]
| J. EDGAR notices three holes imprinted upon the bottom of the note, for a moment. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “The ladder, and this letter.”
| COL. SHWARTKOFF, [sub]N.J. State Police[/sub] | “There is no Federal nor Washingtonian jurisdiction here. We’ve shown you what you wanted to observe, now its time for you and your so-called Investigating Bureau to go.”[/list]
| J. EDGAR turns to LINDBERGH, who now also examines the letter, for the first time; but he seems too exhausted, helpless, unsure of who to trust. |
FRONT LAWN / THE LINDBERGH HOME — LATER
| The Federal Bureau of Investigation due make their way back to their automobile, clearly asked to leave. |
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “I’m concerned for his boy, Clyde.”
| CLYDE TOLSON, [sub]Associate Director of the FBI[/sub] | “He trusts the local police far more than the Bureau, Edgar.”
| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “No, he makes fools of all of us. He’ll go around them too, he’ll opt to bargain with the kidnappers.”[/list]
THE BUREAU BEFORE THE SENATE
[sub]CAPITOL HILL, WASHINGTON D.C., Paramountica — EVENING[/sub]
[list]| J. EDGAR HOOVER, [sub]Director of the F.B.I.[/sub] | “. . . When the President called me that morning, informing me Mr. Charles A. Lindbergh’s boy had gone missing, I did whatever possible to help in solving this crime, a crime that remains unsolved at the hands of State Police — What does all the power of the FBI mean without federal arms? Without federal laws? . . . Without the power to make arrests? It makes nothing, it means nothing at all. If we are to be one nation under God then this Bureau ought to have the force to aid and stop the waves of crime that plunge this country into chaos. Lawless prohibition bandits to kidnappers in the dark of night, I urge the passage of the Lindbergh law to make kidnapping a Federal offense . . . I also call upon the creation of a centralized system of fingerprints in this country, the first of its kind across the world, to arm our Bureau agents with the information and skills to combat and defeat the submachine guns of those bandits that seek to steal all that is precious from law-abiding American citizens. For if little Lindy can’t be safe, then what child in America can be?”[/list]
| Later in the month, J. EDGAR testifies before an open Senatorial Committee, the Lindbergh baby remained missing but action was being taken nevertheless in Washington. |
[list][list][pre]The Federal Kidnapping Act, nicknamed the Lindbergh Act passed in the June of 1932 — An Act forbidding the transportation of any person in interstate or foreign commerce, kidnapped, or otherwise unlawfully detained, and making such act a felony — It was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Hoover; one month after Lindbergh Jr. was found deceased by head trauma, the cause — the slip by the broken wooden ladder.[/pre]

[list]9 June 1929
[sub]Four months ago two events has occur, one was the American market crash and this crash soon spread to other countries including Ireland and this was the start of the Great Depression. The other was that four months ago the UK decided to put pressure on Ireland for refusing to submit to their demand. Now, four months later, Ireland is still struggling to recover their economy. Because of the Depression and pressure from Great Britain, the people are beginning to starve and becoming homeless, with the economy going down, many people are losing their jobs. But there is a little hope in Ireland. His Majesty High King Lucius and the Royal family, seeing the current condition of the people, decided to open up a Soup Kitchen outside the Royal Palace and giving away foods that they donÂ’t need or any leftover food from their meals to anyone for free. When news of this spread many people in Dublin and even people across the kingdom who travel to Dublin came to get free food that is being given away by the Royal family. This action made not only the High King and the Royal family popular but also the Monarchy as well. Even then this isnÂ’t enough for everyone to survive and the people are crying out to their government to help them and waiting for their response.[/sub]
[sub]Inside the Leinster House, the seat of the Oireachtas (Parliament), Members of both houses gathered for a joint session to hear what are the government plan to deal with the crisis. While waiting both TDS and Senators are arguing what to do with the current situations with the UK. Many arguing about resisting the British pressure, Unionists are arguing for the royal family to be deposed and have Ireland return to a personal union with the British crown to end the pressure, while the Republicans are also arguing about resisting the British, however, they are also saying that it is the monarchy that is causing Ireland to suffer and believe that to end the British pressure the monarchy must be abolished and a Republic to be in place. His Majesty High King Lucius arrived in the room where members of both houses of Oireachtas gathered, as he would proceed to walk toward the throne and sit down on it he then pull out a paper that contain the speech that he is going to address to Oireachtas. The speech was written by both the the High King and the Government detailing their plan on how to deal with the crisis and response to the British pressure on Ireland. The speech will not only be heard by the members of Oireachtas but also to the Irish public by using radio. Utilizing the latest modern tool, the High King would deliver his “We will never submit” speech.[/sub]
[list][B]LUCIUS, HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”Greetings, fellow men and women of our country. We are facing one of the greatest crises in our nation's history, not since the Great Famine that we have to deal with poverty brought upon us by both this terrible event that is happening all over the world and by Great Britain, who is pressuring us to give up our freedom and return to a personal union with the British Crown. But we must not give up; we must be strong, persevere, and importantly we must not submit to British demands. We have come from a long line of great people and warriors who who survive not only famines but also gave up their lives to keep their country and the people's freedom from anyone who wishes to take it away. So, I ask all of you to not give in to despair but keep on fighting for our freedom, for we shall never submit to anyone or this depression. We will never submit![/sub]
[sub]I herby announce the government plan to deal with this crisis. The government will help the people by creating new jobs, preventing any more eviction on residents who can’t pay the bills, lowering the prices on food and necessities, and getting rid of taxation on food and necessities. I ask the international community to help Ireland by sending humanitarian aids to the country and putting pressure on the UK for their aggression. Finally, I asked the British Prime Minister if he is indeed the man of peace that everyone is saying he is and that he want the UK to maintain peace in Europe, then I asked you to end this pressures on Ireland and make peace with us. But if you won’t, let the whole world know that you are not a man of peace but a man of war. May we pray to the Most Holy Trinity that Ireland and the world will not only recover from this disaster but will come out from it stronger than ever.”[/sub][/list]
[sub]Many members of both houses of Oireachtas, even many Irish republicans applause High King Lucius speech of giving hope to the people of Ireland and the government plan to help them except for the Unionists who wish for a personal union with Great Britain and diehard Republicans who want to see the monarchy overthrown and establishment of the Republic despite the majority of people supporting the monarchy.[/sub]

[list][pre]Vienna. Last night, Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss resigned from all state-level positions following months of dispute within the government and party leadership of the Fatherland Front. Overtaken by the Pro-German Unity wing, the charismatic Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg and a Government of National Salvation have assumed control over the Federal State apparatus.
Officially on his way into early retirement, in the hours that followed the change in government Dollfuss was reported taking a convoy of cars from the Chancellery with the intention of making a dash for the Austrian-Italian border. In Italy, the disgraced Dollfuss is likely to seek out support from the Italian Leader Benito Mussolini.
Prior to his assumption of power, Von Starhemberg was a Deputy to Dollfuss and veteran of the Heimwehr, Austria's paramilitary equivalent to the German Reichswehr. Von Starhemberg has previously been skeptical of the German Volk Party, but he has since become a leading voice of the pro-German unity movement within Austria. Starhemberg and his supporters are proponents of German confederalism, of which they believe Austria to be an integral part. "Austria is Germany as Germany is Austria", Starhemberg said at a rally only a few months ago.
Upon entering office, his first action as chancellor was to call Adolph Heidler, seeking to meet with the German leader in person. The content of the conversation was not released to the press, and one can only speculate what a pro-German Austrian such as Starhemberg would wish to discuss with his northern counterpart.[/pre][/list]
