FOOD CRISIS IN BENGAL
PEAK HAS BEEN PASSED Recd. 9.30 p.m. London, Nov. 19. “It is not unduly optimistic to say that Bengal’s food crisis has passed and the peak is slowly receding,” declares the Daily Telegraph’s Calcutta correspondent. He adds: “Unless the authorities loosen their present grip of the situation, normality should return throughout tne province within three montns. Food supplies for the distressed areas are going forward according to plan. The Army's food-carrying trucks are ceaselessly supplementing the food going to the interior by rail, bullock-cart and river. Military aid in distribution is assuring to all their daily bread.”
