President's Hoover overall plan to deal with the Great Depression was to allow voluntary actions to resolve it.

His work to resolve the economic crises focused on indirect relief from private companies, the states, and volunteerism. But the economic problems became worse and people demanded the federal intervention and spending but Hoover denied it.
