SECOND VETO
FARM RELIEF BILL,
‘ ‘ FANTASTIC PROMISES.''
(Australian Press Association.) (Received 10,45 a.m.) WASHINGTON, May 23
President Coolidge, for the secondtime, vetoed the McNary—Harlgeii ■ Farm Relief Bill, which was designed to aid stabilisation of the agricultural industry. There is no chance now of passing the Bill over the veto. The Bill set up a Federal Farm Board, to be appointed by the President, which was to supervise surplus opera-': tions.
President Coolidge made the fallowing statement regarding the veto: “This document is much altered from its previous form, but in substance, particularly as to its evident ultimate effect of trying to delude the farmer with a fantastic promise of unworkable Government price regulation, it is still as repugnant as ever to the spirit of our institutions, both political and commercial."
