The problem | has only one solution Everyday the market gets more combustible. One's daily necessity soar in price. Most things are becoming out of reach. All this is part of our daily experience. Has this problem no solution ? Isn't it possible for ten essential articles like foodgrains, sugar, oil, kerosene, cloth to be sold at fixed low prices throughout the country and be distributed through ration shops thus, bringing them within the orbit of the purchasing power of the common people ? We ^eel this can be done. The Central Government can initiate such a measure throughout the country. The State Government have no stock of foreign exchange to enable them to import goods from abroad nor can they obtain materials from the other States without the Centre's g permission. It is therefore, the primary responsibility of the Centre to 5 procure them, since the means of transportation and communication < are entirely in their hands. The Central Government has to undertake the despatch of goods to the various States. After all this, it is up to the State Government to carry on as best as they can. GOVERNMENT OF WEST BENGAL
