Hoover’s Address to Congress Urges Farm Board and Reforms
President Hoover informed Congress in his first message of 1930 that extra session aims to aid agriculture and tariff revision. He urged suspending the national origins clause, reapportionment, and a 1930 census. A federal farm board with broad power should tackle agricultural distress, and trade relations, customs duties, and a revision of the tariff system were proposed, with a sweeping reorganization of the commerce commission to guide future duties.
