Veterans’ Loan Bill returning the measure to Congress with a spirited message in which he pronounced it "unwise from the .standpoint of the war veterans themselves, and unwise from the standpoint of the people.” The President also took occasion ho answer the contention that tho .£200,000,000 made available for exservice men would revive national prosperity, and declared that it was unsound to try to aid general business by borrowing money from some people to give funds to those in need. He pointed out that the Government already had spent £1,000,000.000 for veterans since the war. Three hours after President Hoover vetoed the Veterans Bill the House passed it again over his head, and the Senate will unquestionably complete the overriding of tho President, despite Mr, Mellon’s efforts in support of President Hoover’s stand.
