Amery Under Fire
(Rec. 3.3 C p.m.) CALCUTTA, Oct. 14 “If Mr Amery 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 was made by the “Moslem Daily Morning News.” It suggests that Mr Amery should arrange for the loan of Italian merchant shipping which had come under Allied control. Other newspapers were also severely critical of Mr Amery’s statement. The British-owned “Statesman” says 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 the Bengal death-roll is mounting and Mr Amery’s invisible help is matched only by the invisible stocks of rice in Bengal.
