Hoover to Sign Tariff Bill Early In June
President Hoover announced he will sign the tariff bill and praised the flexible provision as key to prompt business recovery. He said rates can be adjusted by the tariff commission, and export trade should rise with normal conditions. The move sharpens the 1936 elections, triggering Dem and Independent Republican opposition while Borah and others plan a farming-state campaign. Hoover will tour the western tariff battle this summer.
