What reading level is Note On the Question of Prohibiting the Export of Food During Famine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Great authorities, both official and non-official, have asked why we did not buy up the grain which was exported, and send it up to the famine districts, instead of letting it be carried away. My answer is very simple. I tried to do this, but found it impos- sible to do so without producing the very famine which I sought to avert. In all countries Govern- ment operations seem to affect the market more than those of private individuals, in India it is so especially. Imports being delayed, I trie...d to buy, and did buy, as much as possible in the country, in order to send up food at once. I found the very greatest difficulty in getting some 40, 000 tons ; it was only by constant search in every market that we got so much, and then the result was to bring up the price to a point higher than it has reached before or since. Foreigners will pay for food, to go to countries where wages are high, a price that is famine price to a starved Bengalee. I have no hesitation in saying that if we had persevered in buying more than we did in November and December, we should have had a famine then instead of now.
