Sea Life Probe Fund Vetoed by President
Washington, Feb. 25.—(AP)—In his first veto of this session, President Roosevelt Monday returned to congress without approval a bill authorizing an appropriation of $500,000 for the investigation, control and eradication of marine organisms injurious to shell fish in the Atlantic and Gulf states.
The president said he was not satisfied that this "very large appropriation" would accomplish the result hoped for.
"I can not get assurance of the probability of permanent eradication or control of these marine pests," the president said. "Science has not yet discovered the answer. Here is, on the other hand, every reason for further investigation and experimentation with the hope that a practical answer may be found. Such work can be carried on by the bureau of fisheries under existing authority."
