BENGAL FAMINE
COMMENT ON MR. AMERY’S STATEMENT. MOUNTING DEATHROLL I REPORTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) CALCUTTA. October 14. “If Mr Amery (Secretary of State for India and Burma) did a good job occasional!}' 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 arc also severely critical of Mr Amery’s statement. The British-owned “Statesman” 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.
