Alice Longworth critiques the Roosevelt veto on bonus bonds as a strategic move for the 1936 election. She argues the administration aims to boost cash circulation and urban rallying points while keeping the anti bonus sentiment intact for veterans. The piece frames the veto as a perfunctory signal to voters and a political ploy to influence re election campaigns.
