Roosevelt veto estimate on veterans' restora tions shown too high
The analysis argues Mr Roosevelt's $228 million veto estimate is overstated. Congress and the World War veterans' restora tions differ by at most about $30 million a year. Executive orders and partial restorations reduce the gap. Employee pay restorations add $26 million this year and $63 million next year, still far below the veto figure. No broad tax increase is needed.

Inflation debate and the need for monetary stability
The piece argues that wage and earnings inflation harms creditors and savers, yields no real benefit to debtors, and that inflation from political action cannot be controlled. It cautions that previous inflation experiments took years to reverse and stresses stability as the first requirement for money, warning against relying on inflationary remedies.
