Dog trained to sniff alcohol, February 23, 1922.
Lenin issued a decree authorizing confiscation of valuables from the Russian Orthodox Church as a relief measure for the famine caused by his failed economic policies.
The degree to which Communism was and is criminal can hardly be exaggerated. The moronic economic policies forced upon Russia depressed its economy for decades, with it taking decades for certain sectors of it to return to pre Communist output, particularly agriculture. It also resulted in massive famine. Theft from the Church was not going to relieve that, and more than anything else expressed the degree to which the criminal enterprise could now freely act against it.
The Church appealed the decision, but unsuccessfully.
The U.S. Navy established San Diego as a U.S. Destroyer Base, San Diego, forever altering the character of the city.
Worth noting, if San Diego had been fully retained as the headquarters for the Pacific Fleet between the wars, the attack at Pearl Harbor would have really had much less impact than it did, assuming that it would have occured at all.
The Japanese parliament rejected universal suffrage, which resulted in a riot that evening.
