BIG CAPITAL.
TURNS U.S.A PRESIDENT AGAINST FAR.hm.o. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Mr Coolidge vetoed the MeNaryHaugen Bill, defying the threats of the farm leaders of dire political reprisals. He refused to affix his signature to the measure, which he and the members of the Cabinet have consistently opposed. The Bill’s passage by Congress placed the President in the difficult position of having to offend one of the two powerful groups, namely, the western farmers, and the eastern financiers, the letter being practically united in their opposition to the measure. Mr Coolidge, in a lengthy veto of the message, held that the Act was unconstitutional. and attached the opinoin of the Attorney-General to this effect. The closing paragraph of the message suggested the passage of other farm legi altion now before Congress, and again recommended the passage of some conservative measure.
