Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. An archive of 353 pages details the proceedings of the World League Against Alcoholismâs third triennial convention held in Toronto, Canada during the final week of November, 1922. The ambitious and far-reaching goals of the organization are highlighted in the assembled speeches by notables including, among others, Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, British Member of Parliament and World League President Leif Jones, and a great many more prominent figures of the early 20th-century temperance movement. As was typical of the era, a great deal of attention is paid to scientific evidence of alcoholâs ill effects on the human body, and the need for international cooperation to strengthen and enforce prohibition laws around the world. Beyond its obvious historical value as a record of this convention, this book also provides a good deal of insight into the ways in which advocates of prohibition framed their arguments in the face of widespread and growing public skepticism at the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780266151562_0
