Fiorello La Guardia, the New York City mayor known for his blunt, combative style, is the figure named in this image's title, which frames his call for aid to farmers as a way to balance population between cities and the countryside. The idea spoke to the crowded tenements and relief rolls of the Depression years, when many officials looked to farming communities as a route out of urban hardship. La Guardia served as mayor from 1934 to 1945, and his reform agenda often pushed federal and state programs into the spotlight. Look closely at the setting and the gestures of the people around him to gauge how the message was received.
