F ed eral Farm Board Is Recommended for Ag- ricultural Ills
EXPLANATION GIVEN
 ON TARIFF REVISION
President Goes Fully Into Subjects with Brevity
 and Directness

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Piesi- dent Herbert Hoover. in message of unusual brevity and directness, today recommended to Congress the creation of a Federal Farm Board with authority and resources to remedy recurring causes of de- pression in the agricultural in- dustry.
 He also urged limited tariff re- vision to include reorganization of the Tariff Commission, also com pletion of legislation initiated last session; suspension of the National Origins clause of the Immigration Act; taking of the 1880 census and reapportionment of Congressional representation.
 Broad Powers
 While proposing broad powers for the Federal Farm Board, the Chief Executive suggested no amount of the revolving fund to be furnished by the Treasury, and proposed safeguards for instrumentalities and activities created under the Act.
 No Tax Imposed
 "There should be no fee or tax imposed on the farmer the Presi- dent said, adding that Government funds should be fisrnishe5 ea1yHnon application of the farmer owned and controlled agencies. then only when other services of credit are not available at reasonable rates.
 Tariff Revision
 Revision of the tariff rates, the President declared, will test wheth- CT there has been a substantial slackening of activity of industry in past years and a conseqeunce decrease of employment because of competition in products of that industry. He emphasized that no discrimination against any foreign industry was involved and told lCongres that in determining changes in the tariffs, it must con- slider the interests of the country as a whole.
 Reorganization
 Proposing reorganization of the Tariff Commission, the President said it should be placed on basis of higher salaries in order that it may command men of the broadest attachments. He asserted that sev- en years experienced proved the principle of a flexible tariff to be practicable, but the basis upon which the Commission makes rec concentrations to the President for administrative changes in rates and duties should be more automatic and comprehensive.
 Special Mandate ! Declaring the Government had a i special mandate in the recent cleo tion not only to develop. waterways, revise agricultural and tariff laws, but also to extend systematic relief i in other directions, President Hoov- CT said
 Multiplicity causes agricultural depression and can only be met by the creation of a greater in strumentality clothed with suffi- cient authority and resources to assist the farmer to meet the prob lens each upon their own merits. Out of Politics
