The government undertakes to prevent death, and relieve n isery, from '-famine in British India at the _:ost of the Indian treasury, so far as organization and effort can accomplish these ends. The relief operations Qin native states are conducted by the native rulers and their officials, but the] British government [in India lendsmoney,and sends skilled offic-

where such help is needed.

It is believed that the food supply of

India will suillce to meet the present need. The afilicted tracts are traversed by or are near to railways, so that the dis- tribution of food will be practicable. As in the famine of 1897, the government does not propose-save in special cases of pecular local difficulty-to interfere with the supply and distribution of food: what it undertakes is to provide employment and pay for all who need it. Prices are not generally higher than they were at the same season in 1897; in parts prices are lower. There was a great rise' in prices about the end cf October; since then the advance in prices has not been marked
