Roosevelt Signs Frasier Lemke Three Year Farm Moratorium
President Roosevelt signed the Frasier Lemke three year farm moratorium bill. It lets debt burdened farmers delay mortgage payments by up to three years with court oversight and rental payments, followed by possible sale if obligations are not met. The measure passed House quickly under farm state pressure and moved to Senate for swift approval. The White House also eyed approval of a wealth tax and housing act consolidation while inviting Britain’s ambassador for talks.
