Roosevelt Warns Against Boosting Vet Expenditures
President Roosevelt told Congress that any hike in veterans spending must be offset by higher taxes to balance the budget. House Democrats postponed action on Senate veterans increases, awaiting public reaction and a possible direct White House statement. Roosevelt warned he would stay in Washington through summer if needed to maintain fiscal balance and accused Congress of violating his party's pledge by expanding expenditures. The presidency seeks to curb veteran allowances while surveys on desolate order line cases proceed.
