FAM|NE'S GRIP IS
FASTENED AGAIN
ON INDIA
MORE THAN A MILLION STARVING
NATIVES ARE BEING FED BY
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
TON is GROWING.

SIMLA. India. May 9s.-lndia is In
the grip OF another great famine
which has combined with the growing
insurrectionary movement and the
frontier war 10 make the Indian gov
ernments task an unenviable one. Al
present the government Is proVidlns
free food or relief employment FOR
600. 900 starving natives.
The present famine is considered as
an alarming sign OF greater disasters
in the future. for II Is a very ominous
thing for 1000 900 people TO be starv-
ing at a time when the winter crops
have Just been harvested. What this
forebodes for the barren season TO come
can be imagined. II is gloomily proph-
esied that there will be 100000
starving people 10 provide for-an
impossible task even for the great
famine relief organization.
The wretched peasants who are com.
PEELED TO accept government relief
have for months been in state OF
semi-starvation. and when they come
10 the relief stations or depots are III
orally living skeletons. No more mis-
cradle spectacle Is 10 be seen In any
Part OF the world.
The recurrence OF these terrible
fafnines is due TO several causes, most
~ attributable to the influence or the
British government. Four-flfths or the
population are now entirely depen-
dent on capricious crops for their sus-
tenance. and although great irrigation
works have been carried out, the state
OF agriculture is still very unstable.
Each peasant cultivates a little patch
of land, which supplies the bare living
for himself and family. When the
crop fails they are faced with starva-
ton. The British regime provides
regular employment for only frac-
ton OF the natives, while 1t has killed
a great deal OF the native industry,
and has imposed other conditions on
the people which work against the
prosperity OF the natives. The taxes
are high, and the economic system
imposed by British rule is unsuited to
the conditions OF native life.
Besides the millions OF peasants who
are liable 10 starvation at the slight
est failure OF the crops, there Is an
enormous population OF beggars and
voorhees, people whose condition Is
entirely hopeless during famine.
Many thousands OF these are doomed
TO lingering death from inanition.
The condition OF the poor creatures
affected by the famine is pitiful be-
yond words. Those who are forced
to apply for government relief have
been already living for months on
half or a quarter their usual allowance
OF food Long experience has Injured
them TO living on next TO nothing.
Many families have been living on a
daily handful OF dried peas, occasion
ally varied by wild fruit and roots. or
even less paratable food.
The famine being spread over vast
territory, thousands OF the natives are
miles from government relief depot,
and many OF them die because they
cannot drag their wasted bodies to the
depots. For every thousand persons
who get relief, there must be as many
who are too weak, or perhaps too
proud, to apply for II.
