WASHINGTON. FEB. 2s-F-
Presideitt Hoover today vetoed the
veterans loan bill.
In a message 10 the house. he
called the legislation -unwlse from
the sta 1dpoint Of the veterans
themselves and unwise from the
standpoint OF ell the people
Overwhelmingly approved by the
house and senate, the bill would
increase The amount a veteran
could borr wv on his bonus certifi-
cate from % IL to so per cent Of
tbs face Talue. Its congressional
proponents stood ready 70 make a
prompt Aeffort 70 override the veto
The president said the legislation
imposes a potential cash outlay OF
81. ZOO. 00h.OcO, II all the veterans ap-
ply for lcans, less some S330.000.000
already LOANED. He repeated Vet
Grams administrator Hines estimate
OF a billion dollars would be required
to administer the bill.
There not being q penny IN the
treasury TO meet such a demand" he
declared. the government must
borrow this sum through the sale
Of 1.-THE reserve fund securities to-
gether with further issues O. we
must need impose further taxation.
THE sole appeal made for the
reopening Of the bonus act Is the
claim that funds from the national
treasury should be provided to vet
erafs In distress as the result Of the
droikgnt and business depression.
Vets Given Preference
-Tflere are veterans unemployed
and IN need EDday IN common with
many others 81 our people. These,
like the otheTs, Z being provided
the basic necessities Of life by the
devoted committee in those parts
OF the country affected w the de-
preston or drought.
"ThE government and many en-
ployer8 are giving preference to
veterans IN employment. Their
welfare is and should be q matter
OF concern to our people.
Inquiry indicates that such care
is being given throughout the
country and 1t also indicates that
such relief is q minor percentage Of
the number Of veterans in need OF
the whole"
The president also said that to
allow veterans 70 borrow 70 within
5 per cert would work a hardship
on the wives and dependents Of
veterans who will have used the
value Of their certificate and there
by deprived OF necessary insurance.
The need Of our people today Is
q decrease in the burden OF taxes
and unemployment. yet they (who
include the veteransl are being
steadily forced toward higher tax
levels and lessened employment by
such acts as this" he said.
Terming the legislation OF grave
importance itself. the president
said "of muct graver Importance
Is the whole tendency TO open the
federal treasury to a thousand our
poses, many admirable In their in
tentions but n which the propon-
ents fail or dc not care 70 see that
with such beginnings many Of them
insiduously consume more and more
OF the savings and the labor Of our
people"
In aggregate they threaten bur
denS beyond the ability Of our
country normally 70 pay; and. of
far higher Importance. each Of
them breaks the barriers OF self re-
lance and self support in our ueo-
