1921 Report of the Commission on the Prohibition Plebiscite Act.
- Authors
BAKER, MELVIN
- Abstract
The article discusses the temperance movement in Newfoundland in the early twentieth century which passed a prohibition on alcohol in 1915 during the administration of People's Party Prime Minister Edward Morris, enacted in 1917. Issues associated with policing prohibition led the administration of Liberal Prime Minister Richard Squires to order a commission established to write a government report. A reprint of the 1921 report entitled "To His Excellency Sir Charles Alexander Harris, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Companion of the Honourable Order of the Bath, Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the Island of Newfoundland and its Dependencies," is presented.
