A BILL VETOED. I Received this dav at 9.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON. Feh. 25. Mr Coolidge vetoed the .McNarv Han. gen Bill, cabled on Eeh. 17th. defying the threats of farm leaders of dire political reprisals. He refused to affix his signature to the measure which he and members of the Cabinet have consistently opposed. The Dill's message by Congress placed the President in the difficult posilon of having to offend one of two powerful groups, namely western farmers and eastern financiers, the latter being practically united in opposition to the measure! Mr Coolidge, in a lengthy veto message held the act unconstitutional, and attached the opinion of the Attorney-General to this effect.. The closing paragraph of the message suggested the passage of other farm legislation, now before Congress. and again recommended the passage of some conservative measure. ADMIRAL’S STRICTURES.
