President Roosevelt exercised his
veto power for the first time yesterday
when he returned to Congress with
out his approval bill which would
have given Beryl M. McHam, an
Army deserter of Sapulpa, Okla, all
the benefits Of honorably discharged
soldiers.
The President transmitted with his
brief message report from Secretary
of War Dern recommending disap-
proval on the grounds that McHam,
who was cited for bravery in action
in France, had deserted in 1922 after
he had been allowed to re-enlist to
wipe out dishonorable discharge.
II am constrained to take this ac-
ton on the record as reported to me
by the Secretary of War;" said the
President.
The Senate Military Committee re-
port recommending passage OF the bill
said McHam served with distinction
with Company c in both the 26th
and 9Th Infantry regiments, was
wounded in the arm by shrapnel and
severely burned with gas and was
cited for bravery.
But on September 80, 1919, McHam,
in company with two other soldiers,
the report added, went to cabaret
in Coblenz, Germany, and drank too
much Intoxicating liquor and while
returning to barracks struck Pvts.

McHam was tried by court martial
and sentenced to years, but this
was reduced later to IS months. which
he served in the United States Dis
eiplinary Barracks at Fort Jay, N. Y.
He then was dishonorably dis
charged and denied the benefit OF
continuing his war risk insurance, ad-
justed service compensation and
other rights Of an honorably dis
charged soldier.
McHam was one of IS survivors Of
. company of $50 men and was per-
mitted to re-enlist March 6, 1922, SO
he could terminate his Army career
with q clear record. He deserted

ministration launched into the great
est orgy Of spending in the history
Of any nation in the world. The
President, however, clung tenaciously
to saving a hundred million at the
expense Of the actual disabled veter-
ans and the civil service employees, as
q sop to business interests, whereas
billions were doled out in every con-
ceivable manner.
"The present Congress, under
Democratic control, has been the
widest, most extravagant and, above
all, the most autocratic in American
history. The greatest and
most successful output of the present
administration is and has been mass
propaganda, day and night, to the
press and over the radio.
1T has become the popular ma
tional sport Of the brain trust, radi-
Gals, Socialists and Communists to
inform the American people that
everything has been rotten and cor
rupt in our economic and political
systems and that they must be
scrapped for some form Of foreign
dictatorship, such as Socialism, Com
munism or Fascism or Hitlerism."

SECRETARY OF STATE MYERS
DELIVERS A FINE ADDRESS

The Rotary meeting Friday even.
ing at the Kennebec hotel was one
of more than ordinary interest. The
speaker Hon. George S. Myers
secretary of state, delivered in q
most eloquent manner forceful
address. which was given rapt at
tention by the Rotar'ans, and tneii
guests. Mr.. Myers expressed the
pleasure it gave him to address the
Rotarians, and in meeting those
present. He was accompanied here
by the assistant cashier of the
secretary of state Mr.. Jesse Sells.
Mr.. Myers home is in Cleveland,
where he was prominent attorney
before his election as secretary OF
state. He has also served a couple
of terms in the Ohio legislature. He
was introduced by Atty R. M.
Winegardner, an old time friend.
Prior to Mr.. Myers address, an
elegant swiss steak dinner was
served, and a quartet-Messrs H.

number of fine selections.
Secretary Myers said in part:
I count it a special privilege to
be permitted to address this Rotary
club of the twin cities tonight.
During the past three years organ
izations of this character have
helped to strengthen the morale of
the American people. These clubs
have proven to be anchors in help
ing to form proper and unbiased
public opinion. However shifting
may be the sentiments Of the day,
public opinion in the end is usually
right.
Since I happen to be Of Swiss
descent, am reminded that away
off in liberty loving Switzerland,
where the mountains echo to the
huntsmans horn, is found the great
glacier. Long years in forming 1t,
moves so slowly that only the train
ed ear may detect the music of It's
motion, but in the fullness of time
it becomes swiftly moving avail
anche, sweeping everything before
it. So too is public opinion, and it
is therefore highly important that
organizations here and there keep
the people properly informed upon
public questions.
Important Changes In Government
AS we look abroad in the world
today we realize that during the
past decade there have been more
important changes in govern
ments than in any other like period
in all history. In Russia we have
witnessed a vast experiment In
by brute force. and
while they have many features that
are abhOrrent to the American
people, nevertheless that great ex-
pertinent has been moving forward.
In Italy Mussolini aggressive and
militant has been making consolid-
ations in all departments OF govern
ment, and while he has been forg-
ing ahead, making desirable and
reforms, nevertheless
one of the basic ideas of that gov
ernment is force. In Germany we
have still another experiment where |
4 Hitler has formed government
in part upon the hatred
and prejudice against a minority,
and these principles of his govern
ment are also based upon force. In
the Far East an aggressive Japan is
busy with its militaristic designs.
grabbing territory here and there

busy with their own affairs. Then
