Willis C. Hawley
Willis C. Hawley was a prominent American politician and a Republican congressman from Oregon. He is best known for his role in advocating for the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which significantly raised tariffs on imports in an effort to protect American industries during the Great Depression. However, the act is widely criticized for exacerbating economic conditions and contributing to a global trade war, ultimately leading to the decline of his political career.
