Answer
The McNary–Haugen Farm Relief Bill, championed by Charles Dawes, aimed to address the agricultural crisis in the United States during the 1920s. It sought to stabilize farm prices by creating a government-operated marketing system that would buy surplus crops and sell them abroad. Despite its initial support, the bill faced opposition and ultimately failed to pass, leaving farmers without the desired relief.
