Hoover pushes billion dollar inland waterway program
President Hoover outlines a ten year plan to spend about one billion dollars on inland waterways. He would complete the Mississippi river system and expand intercoastal canals while stabilizing Great Lakes channels and reducing military spending as naval talks proceed. A violent incident near Albany, Indiana interrupted the train withdrawal but two suspects were arrested. Edison centennial celebrations in Greenfield honor Thomas Edison with Hoover and Ford in attendance. Representatives of twenty nine cooperative livestock agencies press for a central sales body to stabilize prices. Senate tariff debates continue with farm interests seeking relief and lawmakers weighing the impact on sugar and domestic beet sectors. Briand resigns as French premier after a confidence vote in the chamber.
