Bengal Suffering Famine
OF Tragic Proportions

threaded by the Hooghly, a delta
branch of the Ganges. Larg
i steamers from all the world warily
navigate this shifty, silt filled
stream and, so miles inland, reach
! Calcutta, one of the worlds great
ports and second-largest city in
the British empire.
North of the delta the land re-
mains flat and wi tn occasional
marshes almost to the foot of the
Himalaya mountains. At the south
ern tip of roughly triangular Ben.
gal, Darjeeling sits on a foothill
spur of the worlds highest noun
tains. Its 7,000-foot altitude makes
it a resort for Europeans trying
to weather the sultry Indian sum-
mer. 1t is the summer capital of
Bengal and was often in the news
as the starting place of expeditions
to climb the Himalayan peaks.
DarJellng is sort of stage be-
fore and above which sweep the
amphitheater slopes of mighty
Kanchenjunga, a peak %, 1856 feet
high, only $50 feet short of Mt.
Everest's skyscraping summit. Be-
tween town and mountain lies the
Vale of Ranjit, 5000 feet deep.
A rise of $4,000 feet can be seen
by the naked eye from Darjeeling's
Observatory hill.
A "toy'' train winds down to the
steamy Bengal plain from OAR
Jeellng. Then a train ride of a
day and a night is required to
reach Calcutta. Nearly all Bengal
is hinterland feeding the giant nav
OF this center of commerce. Cal
cutta's 10 miles of wharves handle
immense quantities of jute, tea,
hides, oil seed, lac, cotton and
coal. Miles of jute mills line the
Hooghly below the city.
Calcutta's one and a half mil
lion population figure includes Cal
cutta proper with its commercial
section: MADAM, a large park and
residential area; and Howrah, the
manufa cturing suburb across the
river. Founded in 1890 by t h e
British East India Trading COM
pany, Calcutta was the capital of
British India until 1912.

The battle of Germany is again
rising to crescendo proportions.
With Kassel. Frankfurt, Ludwigs-
hafen bombed in quick succession,
with seven blockbuster assaults by
the Royal Air Force and the Amer
lean Army Air Force in four days,
the raids are on the increase after
the poor weather of September.
The months of frightening nights
are at hand, with all the disaster
this can mean to German cities.
Washington military chiefs re-
mark that the raids to knock Ger
many from the war or soften its
defense for the cross-Channel in
vasion have by no means reached
their intended peak. They know
that with sufficient planes and sui
ficient protection against Nazi de-
lenses, ground and air, the me-
thodical destruction of German mil.
itary detectives forecast by Prime
Minister Churchill can proceed by
day and by night. But these same
military observers see several vi
tai question marks this side of the
goal:
Will American airplane factories
be able to boost their output the
necessary so per cent in 1914 while
simultaneously shifting production
to the bigger, heavier bombers,
and superb ortresses? Will Brit
ish and American natural scientists
be able to outsmart the Nazi re.

weapon against the Allied air raid.
ers? Will the obstacles of trans.
port and the draining" to other
fronts be surmounted to permit the
massing of enough bomber strength
to overwhelm German defenses.
and prevent prohibitive losses?
Although the battle of Germany
is being hotly contested, in other
regions than in the sky, notably
under the sea, the rival forces are
pitting their every resource of re-
search and invention furiously

Bengal is suffering one of its
worst famines since the British
took measures to control India

war, plague, anu famine.
Recurrent famine in India re.
suits directly from too many hun
cry millions and too much depend
ence on the amount of rainfall be-
ing just right for the crops. The
National Geographic Society says
16 major famines were recorded
in India between 1860 and ITO.
In one year alone third of the
population of Bengal province per
| ished.
Numerous irrigation and relief
works, built by the British, almost
banished the specter, but famines
continued through the 18th and into
the Goth century. Britain's medical
and hygenic strides and her sup
preston OF civil war in India have
stimulated great increases of pop
ulation, thereby keeping acute the
hunger and poverty problems.
India had 206 million inhabitants
in 1872. Before the British came,
the population, due to war, plague,
and famine, was rather stable at
around 150-165 millions. Now it is
1888 million.
Bengal exceeds slightly the area
of two Ohios, but has eight times
the population of the Buckeye
state. Eighty languages are spo-
ken. Hindus and Moslems
about equally divided at q and
81 million, respectively. There also
are Buddhists, Christians, Skins,
jams, Zoroastrians and Jews.
Central Bengal is for the most
part flat flood plain crossed by
innumerable branches of the Gan
ges river delta. This alluvial land
is rich, but crops rely on a pre-
else depth of flooding every year
by the Gauges and Brahmaputra
rivers. "Row-boat farmers tend
their rice while the paddles are

AS Others Say It
A DREAM FADES OUT

1t was only a year ago that
Hitler was making his famous
military idiots speech in h e
Berlin Sportpalast. There for the
first time he proposed to stand on
the defensive, to hold all German
gains, to let those military idiots, -
his enemies, attack where h e y
liked and be moved down as they
were at Dieppe. He was trading
the German people new dream
for an old one. When we entered
the war the old dream of world
conquest became a nightmare. The
new dream offered only CONT
nent-but a continent with all the
resources the nations of Europe
had lived by securely sealed off
by German arms.
Then, as now, the autumn rains
had begun to fall in Russia. The
German war machine had rum
bled to halt in the Caucasus and
before Stalingrad. Casually, al
most, Hitler promised his listen
ers a little more. He would take
Stalingrad; they could depend on
that" He would cut the Volga
and make German district from
there to the Don. But mostly he
dwelt on the gains already made.
mighty gains that he, the Fuehrer,
would hold till doomsday. He listed
them-the last and greatest wheat
region in Europe, the last remnant
OF Russian coal that could be used
for coke, three quarters of Rus
sla's iron, oil fields that Russia
would never use again.
This year DR.. Goebbels made
the Sportpalast speech. He, too,
sells dreams. But this time he

Two Fined After Testimony
Of Trickery With Money

Two men accused of employing
sleight-of- hand tricks on merchants
were convicted yesterday in Mu-
nicipal Court of vagrancy charges
Hnd were sentenced by Judge George
D. Nelson to pay $500 fine each
or serve one year in Jail.
The defendants, Henry Taylor, 38,
and Isaac Fogle, SO, both colored,
were charged with fleeing the mer-
chants by deft here you see it, now
you don't" tricks with coins and
bills while making ostensible pur-
chases at various stores.
One of the tricks, police said, was
TO purchase a bar of candy for a
nickel. One of the men would offer
the storekeeper a quarter, and the
other defendant would slip nickel,
concealed under the quarter, into
the merchants hand.
Another method employed by Fo-
gle and Taylor, according to police
testimony. was the confusion"
method. While one of the pair was
being waited on, the other would
ask the storekeeper to cash S. bill,
and on receiving the money sud-
denly would change his mind and
demand change for $40 bill. BY
the time the confused dealer got
things Strengthened out he would
find that he had short changed
