upon the Congress claims for special
consideration. To do so is to abandon
the principle of Government by and
for the American people and to put
in its place government by and for
political coercion by minorities. We
cannot afford all that we need: but
we cannot afford all that we want.
Il do not need to be a prophet to
assert that If these certificates, due
in 1945, are paid in full today, every
candidate for election to the Senate
or to the House OF Representatives
will in the near future be called upon
in the name Of patriotism to support
general pension legislation for all
veterans, regardless Of need or age"
Baby Bond Issue.
Under the terms of the new bonus
bill, the so-called baby bonds, in de-
nominations of $50, will be issued to
the veterans June IS. Presumably
they will not be cashable until after
that time. Under the new bill a total
expenditure of $2.490, 100000 will be
handed to the veterans, although it is
estimated that little more than ST.
000, 0,000,0 900 will be paid out during the
next fiscal year.
The President did not indicate in his
veto message whether he would call
on Congress to enact new tax legisla-
ton to raise the revenue needed to
make the payments.
Presidents Action Sudden.
The veto message came with surpris-
ing suddenress. The President had re-
ceived the bill only Wednesday, but
he was familiar with all its details
and had long since discussed the
points involved with the heads Of the
several Government departments di-
rectly interested in this legislation.
These included the administrator of
veterans affairs. the Secretary Of the
Treasury. the Attorney General and
the budget director.
Transmittal of the message today
We all the more surprising because
the President, less than an hour pre-
viously. had given no indication at his
press conference that he was contem-
plating such swift action. Actually,
the President, possibly just for the
humor of it, had limited that he was
by no means ready for action on this
matter.
All the while the Presidents mes
sage, which he finished writing at
late hour last night, was going through
the process Of being mimeographed so
as to have sufficient copies for the
press in advance Of its announcement
on Capitol Hill.
Message Announced Casually.
Copies Of the message were given
out casually by Stephen Early Of the
White House secretariat, who sum-
moned the White House correspond
ents and announced, without trace of
humor, that he merely wanted to give
out q little story which happened
around here today"
He then went on to explain the
little story" to the newspaper men by
saying that up until the administration
Of Theodore Roosevelt ally presidential
messages to Congress had to be sent in
longhand.
Not since then, Early pointed out,
had any such message been writ
ten In long hand by the Presi-
dent. Early then handed out q
batch Of mimeographed sheets, which
at first glance, gave no suggestion Of
being the bonus message.
The newspaper men first gave a
casual glance at the inessage-then
there was mad rush for the tele-
phones.

that party lines are not so conflning
as once they were, and coalition

than ever before. Which brings us
back to the question of what the Re-
publicans are going to do. If they nom

probably will. it is likely that the most

cratic party will move into that column

the noncommittal remark: "You

There was belief in some quarters
that business spokesmen might tend
to emphasize methods Of increasing
farm exports and to criticize curtailed
or controlled production.
