Hoover Outlines Farm Relief Plan and Tariff Reforms
President Hoover informed Congress of aims for the extra session including a federal Farm Board to address agricultural distress and a reorganization of the tariff commission. He urged no farmer fees, proposed financing for farmer-owned agencies on need, and called for census and immigration reforms. Reactions ranged from praise from Republicans to Democratic opposition, with debate over tariff, marketing, and board powers.
