At first, President Hoover tried to fight the Great Depression by asking businesses and local charities to help instead of giving lots of direct federal aid. He urged companies not to cut wages and told charities and state governments to take care of the unemployed. He also signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff to protect U.S. industries, but it ended up hurting international trade.
