MR AMERY CRITICISED
STATEMENT ON BENGAL FOOD POSITION VIEWS OF INDIAN NEWSPAPERS 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 a statement by the Secretary of State for India, Mr Amery, 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 a 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 “Statesman” says thoughtful observers find themselves sadly out of tune, both factually and emotionally with Mr Amery’s speech, except his criticism of mistakes by previous Bengal Ministries. The Hindustan “Standard” says “The Bengal death roll is mounting and Mr Amery’s invisible help is matched only by invisible stocks of rice in Bengal.”
