The enforcement of prohibition and tariff rates were two major issues with which President Hoover and the Congress had to grapple. The Republicans had received strong support from those seeking greater enforcement of prohibition laws, but simultaneously a decade after prohibition began, the tide of public opinion was swinging toward repeal. It was clear that enforcement of prohibition was increasingly difficult and less effective. As the Great Depression loomed ahead, the calls for more protectionist tariffs grew more frequent. Cartoonist Clifford Berryman highlights the problems on these two issues as Congress rolls up his sleeves to resuscitate the battle weary tariff issue while prohibition enforcement stands by nervously, hoping for its turn with the Congress.
