Philippine independence veto overridden in House vote
The Kaneas delegation voted to override President Hoover's veto on the Philippine independence measure. The House tally was 274 to 144, surpassing the two thirds needed, while Senate prospects were uncertain amid dissent from leaders and anxiety over foreign invasion fears. The bill would set a path to gradual withdrawal and a plebiscite after a decade, with a long transition before full independence.
