Congress Opens As Hoover Presses Legislation In Review
Congress convenes the new session as President Hoover delivers a comprehensive annual message urging tariff reform aid to agriculture and industry and flexible tariffs while pushing commissions on banking Haiti and the Muscle Shoals issue. He warns of possible naval buildup beyond 1.2 billion if arms talks fail and calls for stronger enforcement of Prohibition. The Vare controversy in the Senate dominates the week as a paralysis constrained appearance and a denial of fraud claims are presented amid party maneuvering.
