BQARDPLAN IS FAVORED BY HOOVER Congress- Receives Presi- ' rlnnr'e Maeeqna fin ETopiyi uui o mioocii vii i ui in, - Relief and Tariff Revision !J Suggests No Specific Sum for Revolving Fund No Fee;. Imposition On Farmer, r WASHINGTON, April 16. fl) President Hoover, In .a messago of unusual brevity and directness, recommended to congress todiiy . the creation of a federal farm I hoard with authority and resources , to remedy recurring: causes of de pression in the agricultural indus try and a limited revision of the tariff with a reorganization of the tariff commission. In addition he proposed In this. his first state . paper, the com pletion of legislation initiated at the last session for the suspension of the national origins clause of the .immigration uct; tho taking of the 1930 census and the reap portionment o congressional rep resentation. . While proposing broad powers for .the federal farm board the chief executive suggested no amount for the revolving fund to be furnished by the treasury and proposed safeguards for the in strumentalities and activities to be created under the farm relief act. - - "There should be no fee or tax Imposed upon the farmer," he de clared, adding that . government funds, should - .be furnished only upon; application of . the farmer owned and controlled agencies 'and then only: when .other services, of credit and facilities are not avail-, able tr reasonable1 "rats."Mf in the matter' of revision of tariff rates, My. Hoover declared the test in the main was whether there had been a substantial slack ening! of activity in an Industry during the past few years and a consequent decrease of employ ment due to insurmountable com petition In the . products of that industry. . No Discrimination. The president emphasized that no discrimination against, any for eign ' industry was involved In equalizing the difference In costs of production at home and abroad and told congress that In deter mining changes In the tariff, ac count must he taken of the broad interests of the country as a whole. adding that such Interests Includo American - trade relations with other countries. In proposing a reorganization of the tariff commission. Mr. Hoover said it should be placed upon a basis of higher salaries "in order that we may at all times command men of the broadest attainments - He asserted that seven years of experience had proved the prln clpie of flexible tariff to be.prnc uca i, put that the basis upon which the commission makes its recommendations to the president for administrative changes In tho rates' of duty, should he, mado more automatic and more compre nensive, -to the end that the tims required, for determinations by the commission be greatly shortened. Declaring the government had "a special mandate from the re cent election not only to develop our waterways and revise tho agricultural tariff, but also to ex tend systematic relief in other di rections," the chief executive said the multiplicity of causes of acrl cultural depression could only be met by ' the creation of a great Instrumentality clothed with suf ficient authority and resources to assist the farmers to meet these problems, each ' upon Its own merits. Constructive Action. "The creation of such agency,' he added, "would at once trans fer the agricultural question from the field of polities into the realm of economics and would result in constructive action. The adminis tration is. pledged to create an Instrumentality that will investi gate the causes, find sound reme dies, and have the authority and resources to apply those remedies. "The pledged purpose of such a federal form board Is the re organization of the marketing sys tem on sounder and more stablo and more economic lines. To do thin the board will require funds to assist in creating and sustain Ing farmer-owned and farmer con trolled agencies for a variety of purposes, such as the acquisition of adequate working capital to be advanced against commodities iougca ror storage; necessary and prudent advances to corporations created end owned by furmers marketing organizations for the purchase and orderly marketing of surpluses occasioned by climatic variations or by harvest conges tion; to authorize the creation find support of clearing houses.
