• demanding debt payments from foreign governments to increase emergency funds

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover favored voluntary, local, and private solutions over large-scale federal intervention in the early Great Depression. He signed a tax cut in 1929 to boost personal income and spending, and he pushed private charities and state governments to lead relief efforts, opposing direct federal aid for individuals. Direct federal bank support, large federal public works programs, and aggressive foreign debt collection were not actions he took in the early crisis.

Answer:

• winning passage of a tax cut to increase individuals' take-home incomes
• urging private agencies and state governments to organize relief efforts
