PRESIDENT'S POWER

President Roosevelt is about the veto the Patmah Bill; which hos (been passed by the House of Re- presentatives and the Senate, which necessitates the payment] of some $2,000,000,000 to veterans of the Great War and which, in wple of the argument of its 'pro- potents, would result in a form of Inflation. Not because the United States has not suilicient gold backing for an additional billion or so of paper money, bat because it would entall additional borrowing on the part of the Gov- ernment, President Roosevelt enne not see his way clear to approv ing it.

A sensible approach to the problem of world pezee WEM recently reflected in a warning

of the Union. The fact that the President quarrela with Congress does not mean that the Govern ment will fall, or that he has last the country's confidence, as under the British Constitution. He will vete the Patron Bill, and the affairs of the nation will continue upon their way unhindered, n though, without doubt, there will be stormy sessions in both Ilouses and recriminitions against the "people's President."
