The GD started in 1929, Smoot Hawley tariff act went into effect in 1931. Smoot Hawley is a lie perpetrated by Free Traitors™ to justify the raping of US industry. If you look at contemporary accounts of the Great Depression TRADE IS NOT EVE DISCUSSION OR MENTIONED as a factor. This "trade caused the GD" is a a neocon invention and agitprop.
