Diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Mexico were restored.
They had ended during the long Mexican Revolution, during which, for a long period of time, it was unclear who would govern Mexico, and the US found many of the options distasteful.
The Italian Navy shelled the Greek island of Corfu and then landed over 5,000 troops on the islands. Civilians were injured and killed in the bombardment.

Franklin Roosevelt dedicated the Jefferson Memorial on the 200th anniversary of President Jefferson's birth.
Another blog's item on this:

While both nations were in a shaky position at the time, it's worth remembering that Turkey, while on the defensive, was holding its own against Greece. France and the UK, initially allies in the Greek effort, had abandoned Greece as it became more aggressive in regard to its territorial demands and efforts.

Moreover, the Soviet Union was having difficulty imposing its moronic economic system on an unwilling population and its political thumb on various ethnicities, so it was arguably in a worse position than Turkey was. Also, its population was enduring famine to the lunatic nature of its farm policy.
