President Hoover blasts the export debenture proposal as a dangerous subsidy that could misallocate funds, boost speculation, trigger overproduction, and invite tax hikes. He argues the scheme would not aid farmers and would hinder broader farm relief efforts. The move challenges the National Grange and leaves farm groups uncertain about the Haugen bill’s direction.
