| Description | Cartoon shows Uncle Sam welcoming a bottle of beer, striding down the road carrying a suitcase with a "Siberia" label. In 1933, after Congress had voted to repeal the Eighteenth (Prohibition) Amendment, but before the states had a chance to ratify it, Congress passed a law legalizing the sale of 3.2 percent beer. The first legal beer was sold on April 7. The cartoonist suggests approval of the legalization of this drink of the working man. |
