Prohibition Plea to leadership amid wartime drink crisis
A public plea urges British leaders to push nationwide liquor prohibition during the war. The message cites losses in manpower, ships, and food, warns of a plotted return to trade control, and calls on the authorities to act decisively for national survival and freedom. It stresses the nation’s dependence on strong leadership and sacrifice.
