End of Parliamentary Career and Later Years
In 1935, when Albert Davy launched the "anti-socialist" Democrat Party, Veitch joined it, but was defeated in his re-election bid by the Labour candidate. Considerably later, in 1943, Veitch stood for the National Party (the ultimate outcome of the United-Reform coalition) in a Wellington electorate, but was unsuccessful. He was awarded the 1937 Coronation Medal for services to New Zealand (NZ Roll of Honour, p. 1095).
Veitch died in Paraparaumu in 1961.

—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“Thirty years now I have labored
To dredge the silt from your throat.
I am none the wiser.”
