BENGAL FAMINE
Mr Amery Criticised (7.30 pan.) CALCUTTA. Oct. 14. "If Mr L. C. Amery (Secretary of State for India) 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 the loan of Italian merchant shipping which has come under Allied control. Other newspapers also are severely, critical of Mr Amery’s statement. The British-owned “Statesman” says: “Thoughtful observers will 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 invisible stocks of rice in Bengal. ’’
