LONDON, ENGLAND – OCTOBER 11, 1921 – In a shocking exposé, two British investigators have laid bare the truth about America’s Prohibition era. Charles H. Sitch, M.P. for Kingsicinford, and John E. Davidson, M.P. for Smethwick, both Labor members of Parliament, traveled to the United States to investigate labor conditions, but what they discovered would send shockwaves across the Atlantic. The duo’s preliminary report, obtained by The Tribune, reveals a stark reality: Prohibition has failed to dry up America’s liquor supply.
