Summary

"Being a summary statement of the investigation made by the British government of the 'Mormon' question in England" by Arthur L. (Arthur Lawton) Beeley is a historical record intended to challenge negative portrayals of the Mormon community in England during the early 1900s. The book centers on the British government's inquiry into allegations that Mormons were practicing immoral acts and forcing young women to move to America. Through the use of official statements from British Parliament, including debates in the House of Commons and responses from figures like Winston Churchill, the author argues that these accusations were baseless. The narrative emphasizes the British government's thorough investigation, which, despite persistent pressure, found no proof of illegal activities by the Mormons. Beeley claims that the lack of evidence should be seen as proof of the Mormon community's innocence, leaving the reader to consider whether the accusations were rooted in prejudice rather than fact.
