VETO
SENT TO SENATE
President Says. However,
Relief Money Will Be
Used for Purpose.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt today vetoed the
so-called farm seed loan bill, authoriZ-
ing an appropriation of $4,000, 900
from the Treasury At the same time,
however, he informed Congress that
he appreciates the fact there is still
need for crop production loans to
farmers and that to meet this need
he will issue an executive order making
it possible to use emergency relief
money for the purpose
The veto and the assurance were
made known in a special message to
the Senate today.
The President based his disapproval
solely upon the ground that Congress
made no provision for raising the
$50.000,000 involved, and because he
is of the opinion that a special ap-
preparation at this time is both in
advisable and unnecessary.
The veto was challenged by Senator
Smith. Democrat. of South Carolina,
who said he would Insist on a vote
to override "as soon as the time is
propitious"

Toxic Newspapers
Contain No NelUs
OF Assassinations

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, February 26-Only fou,
of Tokios many afternoon dailies
published today and none of them
mentioned the days main events
"a military coup and assassination
of several Liberia, leaders,.
Their pages were well filled with
columns of foreign dispatches and
pictures of the city blanketed with
heavy snow.
Snowfall and poor visibility pre-
vented several steamers from enter
ing Yokohama Harbor, including the
trans-Pacific liners General Pershing
and Tatsuta Maru.
The brevity of this news dispatch
from Toxic, one of the first to be
received after the military coup seized
control of the japanese government,
indicated the strict censorship en-
forced by military authorities.
Mention Of the two steamers being
unable to enter Yokohama Harbor
was an ironic commentary on the
situation.
With the biggest news of the day
centered in Toxic, all mention of II
was deleted from the dispatch.
The brief report notably carried nc
mention of whether the other Toxic
dailies voluntarily failed to publish o,
were closed by the military as op-
| poSitionists.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Arthur Vandenberg of

His determination not to enter the

the Michigan Senator inquiring
whether Vandenberg would consent
to have his name used in the pri-

The letter did not close the door
to Senator Vandenbergs ultimately
becoming a candidate for the presi-

a nomination if it came to him at
the hands of the Republican National
Convention in Cleveland next June

Said Vandenberg's letter:
This will reply to your letter Of
February 10. I am seeking no in

is my attitude in my own State of
Michigan. Manifestly it will be my
attitude elsewhere. Therefore. I shall
not avail myself of the privilege of
entering your Ohio primaries. My
sole interest In the Cleveland con-

shall there make the wisest possible
decisions respecting both party leader

Ambassador Hirosi Saito told news
men today that the designation of the
former minister of interior Goto to
head a new government in Japan in
dicated there would be no funda-
mental change in the empires form
of popular government.
The envoy said direct advices to
the embassy from Toxic disclosed that
today's assassination of government
leaders did not represent a military
coup by heads of the Japanese Army.
He attributed the outbreak to young
army officers impassioned with patri-
otic idealism
Complete order has been restored
in Japan and business is proceeding
as usual" the Ambassador said he
was advised
The situation will affect in no way
japanese relations with the United
States"
Merely Protest, Envoy Says.
Ambassador Saito said the leaders
Of the uprising did not intend to take
over the government, but merely to
protest against some of its actions.
He added that they may have been
influenced by the recent election in
which the liberal party gained some
strength.
THE leaders," he said. "were loyal
to the Emperor as well as the army
as whole"
Saito said that as a result of the
uprising, the military in Japan tenn
porarily has assumed some police du-
ties for the protection of certain
places.
Other advices received in diplomatic
quarters here said army troops re-
sponsible for the uprising were re-
ported to have announced they will
promulgate "a new law of state" this
afternoon in Toxic.
There was no explanation of the ex-
preston, new law of state"
This information said a mimeo-
graphed statement was left at each
of the principal newspaper Offices in
Toxic this morning by groups of SOL
diers, alleging that the present Japa-
nese had been drifting away from the
true spirit of Japan and that 1t had
usurped the prerogatives of the En-
peror.
Naval Treaty Cited.
The signing of the London naval
treaty in 1880 supplementing the
Washington limitations act by which
Japan was given the short end of the
5-5-3 ratio was reported cited as
one evidence of the trend.
Newspaper translations of the state
ment contained in this passage:
IF this condition Is permitted to
continue, the relation of Japan to
China, Russia, Britain and the United
States will become explosive in nature. n
The statement was reported to have
been signed by Capt. Nonaka and Capt
Ando, both of the Sd Infantry Regi-
ment, stationed in Toxic.
Soldiers who delivered copies of the
statement were reported to have said
that another announcement would
be issued at o'clock this evening, at
which time new law of state" will
be promulgated.
Meanwhile, Toxic and the remainder
Of Japan were reported to be under
