Tariff Bill Veto Ends Democratic Challenge
President Hoover vetoed the tariff bill, affirming high protection and liberal rate-change control. The measure failed to override in the House, with Democrats unable to reach the two-thirds needed, effectively killing the bill and signaling tariff policy as a campaign issue. The proposal would have authorized rate-change authority, an international conference, and reciprocal trade pacts.
