Will Y Veto|
Bonus Bill
Note of Disapproval to Reach
Congress Today--House
Claims Strength to
Override Colidge.
Senate Vote to Be Close
BY Universal Service


Washington, May 14.-President
Coolidge's veto of the soldiers bonus
bill will be sent to congress tomor-
row, II was indicated clearly at he
White House today.
With the record OF its victory in
the case of the Bursum pension bill,
the White House hopes that the SEN
ate will be unable to override the
presidential veto of the bonus bill.
Although the president has until
Friday TO act upon the measure, his
message of disapproval. 1t is ex-
pected, will be completed and on It's
way to the capitol by tomorrow after
noon.
The house will be the first to act
on the presidents veto, and the neces-
sary twothirds vote to pass the bill,
despite the objections of the chief
executive, Is claimed.
The measure will then go 10 the
senate, where the vote is certain to
be close. Supporters OF bonus legis-
lation are confident that they will
be able to muster the necessary two
thirds vote to make the bill law
without the presidents signature. On
the contrary, cheered by the vote
which discarded the Bursum pension
bill. the anti-bonus bloc hopes to sus-
tain the veto.
Senate democrats are ready TO
make full use politically Of veto.
During the consideration of the bill
they argued that they supported the
insurance feature without the cash
option solely In the belief that 1t
could be enacted into law either with
or without the presidents approval.
The veto will give them the oppor-
tunity of mastering their forces To
override the presidents objections
and claim a share of the credit for
the passage of the measure.

DISTRIBUTION OF MANUFACTURED {
GOODS Is BECOMING A SERIOUS
PROBLEM FOR u. S., SAYS BABS0N

BABSON, Park, Mass, Oct. g.,
| The development of our next period
of prosperity is almost entirely, in
the hands of. those who control our
distribution, according to Roger w.
Babson, the statistician, who to-
day discussed what he counts as
the greatest problem facing Am
erican business.
"During the last forty years
great progress has been made in
production, says Mr.. Babson.
tThe keenest minds have gone into
manufacturing, men who naturally
desired to create and produce have
preferred the making of goods to
iobbing or retailing. The result
has been that with few eXcep-
tions the least aggressive men have
gone into the distribution end of
business. This is especially true
of. the smaller retail trade where
we find as general thing individ-
uals who are not very ambitious
and progressive. The result Of all
this has been the reduction of the
cost of producing. We make .Drac-
tically everything today for less
than it cost to make it 20 years
ago. We do this in spite. of high
.er wages. The cost of distribution
meantime has climbed steadily un-
>ti1,it has more than offset our saw
ings on the production end of the
business, and the retail price of
practically all articles today 2 is
above what it was 20 years ago.
"Thc manufacturing capacity of
sour country is now highly develop
ed and is far ahead of our ability
to distribute effectively and econ
omically. The problem of Ameri-
can business, then, is the problem
of distribution and venture to say
that during the next 40 years the
keenest minds in our business world
will' be working on it. The great
inventions will be in connection
with new methods of distribution
rather than new methods of manu-
featuring.
Progress is Noted
'Progress is, of course, already
being made. The rapid develop,
ment of the chain store is, one of
the first evidences of improved dis
tribution methods. The store ON
motor truck is another for it has
the cash trade advantage of the
chain store and at the same lime
