SAVINGS REPEAL
Pressing Need of Country Is
for Production" He Gives
as Chief Reason.

WASHINGTON. Aug l5.-Pre-i-
dent Wilson to-day vetoed the hill
repeallns the Daylight Saving Law.
on the subject he wrote % the House
Of Representative as follovs:
'I return this biz H. r.. ASA An Act
for the Repeal Of the Daylight Saw
ing Law. without my signature, but
do so with the utmost reluctance.
1 realize the very considerable and in
some respects very serious incon-
vsniences 70 wIieh the Daylight saw
ing Law SUSPECTS the farmers OF the
country, to whom we owe the great
est consideration and who have dis
tinguished themselves during these
recent years of war and want by
patriotic endeavor worthy Of all
praise. But I have been Obliged TO
balance one set OF disadvaata
against another and 20 venture a
Judgment as to which were the more
serious for the country.
The immediate and pressing need
of the country Is production, increased
and increasfng production in all lines
Of industry. The disorganization and
dislocatlon caused by the war have
told nowhere so heavily as at the in
dustriai centres-in manufacture and
in the many Industries 20 which the
country and the whole world must
look TO supply needs which cannot be
ignored or postponed.
III Is to these that the daylight
saving law is Of most service. II
ministers 70 economy and TO efficiency.
And the interest OF the farmer Il
not in all respects separate from these
interests. He needs what the fac
tories produce along with the rest OF
the world. He's prOhted BY the pros
perity which their success brings
about. His own life and methods are
more easily adjusted. I venture to
think. than are those Of the fnanufac-
turer and the merchant.
These are the considerations which
have led me to withhold my signature
from this repeal. hope that they
are considerations which viii appeal
to the thoughtful Judgment OF the
House and in the long run 10 the
thoughtful Judgment OF the farmers
OF the country, who have always
shown an admirable public spirit"
