Roosevelt Attacks Hoover on Farm Policy and Tariffs
In a speech, Roosevelt blames past administrations for failing to treat farming as a national issue. He rebuts Hoover’s 1928 tariff claim as a fraud, noting farmers consume, not produce, the protected items, and condemns farm board stabilization as wasteful and ineffective. He cites Hyde and the taxpayers' money wasted as prices failed to stabilize.
