Urged

Reorganization
of

Commission
WASHINGTON,
April
16.
President
Hoover
in
a
message
of
unusual
brevity
and
directness
recommended
to
Congress
today
the
creation,
of
a
federal
farm
board
with
authority
and
resources
to
remedy
the
recurring
causes
of
depression
in
the
agricultural
industry.
He
also
recommended
limited
revision
of
the
tariff
with.re-organization
of
the
tariff
commission.
1
In
the
matter
of
the
tariff
revision,
the
president
declared
the
test
in
the
main
was
whether
there
had
been
a
substantial
slackening
of
activity
in
an,
industry
during
the
past
few
years
and
a
consequent
increase
of
unemployment
due
to
insurmountable
competition
in
products
of
that
industry.

that
