Congress Opens With Debates Over Foreign Policy And Taxes
The Sixty-eighth Congress began its first session amid power plays by progressives and Republicans over rules and leadership. President Coolidge announced support for tax cuts, tariff stability, veterans care limited to existing policies, and a cautious approach to the League of Nations and the world court. He backed tax reductions, farm relief via freight rate reform and export assistance, and allowed discreet government action on coal supply without national ownership. War debts and Russian relations drew emphasis as the world scene outlined in his message. In Germany and France, Premier Poincaré showed conciliatory moves, while Mexico faced renewed war split led by Adolfo de la Huerta against Obregon.
