FAMINE IN BENGAL
Criticism Of Mr. Amery (Received October 15, 7 p.m.) CALCUTTA, October 14. “If Mr. Amery (Secretary of State for India and Burma) did a good job occasionally instead of making inane speeches he would" really prove himself useful.” This comment on Mr. Amery’s statement in the House of Commons on the Bengal food situation is made by the Moslem “Daily Morning News.” It suggested that Mr. Amery should arrange for the loan of Italian merchant shipping which has come under allied control.
Other newspapers are also severely critical of Mr. Amery’s statement. The British-owned “iStatesman” says that thoughtful observers find themselves sadly out of tune both factually and emotionally with Mr. Amery’s speech, except his criticism of the mistakes of previous Bengal ministries. The Hindustan “Standard” says that the Bengal deathroll is mounting and Mr. Amery’s invisible help is matched only by the invisible stocks of rice in Bengal.
