| Description | Cartoon shows a dilapidated Tammany Lion under the glare of a searchlight labeled "Investigation," saying "Germany never needed a moratorium more than I do." In 1930 and 1931, the New York City government, controlled by the Democratic machine known as Tammany Hall, was the subject of several devastating investigations for corruption conducted by Judge Samuel Seabury. In international affairs, at this same time, the Hoover Administration finally concluded that the system of German payments for war debts and reparations instituted after the first World War was irretrievably broken and negotiated a moratorium on repayments. |
