April 1926: Temperance? Not really...


General Lincoln B. Andrews’s speech was on the news today. Apparently, he is in charge of supervising the prohibition enforcement, although his speech didn’t really help at all. I found his speech quite funny. His testimony ended up helping those on the anti-prohibition movement. Andrew admitted that his prohibition agents started to engage in bribe-taking, as in, they started to sell and drink alcohol. He even agreed that the modification of the Volstead Act, which allows the sale of light beers, might actually allow temperance.
