Performance NotesResolution 1: "That, in order to avert the danger of famine, with the consequent risk of a premature and disastrous peace, this meeting calls upon the Government to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcohol during the War and the period of demobilisation, and thus immediately save the food now being continuously destroyed by the brewers and distillers of several millions of persons. That a copy of this Resolution be sent to His Majesty's Ministers."
Resolution 2: "That in view of the King's Proclamation, impressing upon his people the necessity of saving grain, this Meeting regrets that the nation did not endorse the King's action, which included War prohibition in the Royal Palaces, and calls upon all loyal subjects throughout the Empire to follow His Majesty."
