At this period Strzelecki was also advising that destitution was as great a danger as lack of food to the health of the western population and was attempting to funnel capital into temporary poor law accommodation. This comprised the greater part of the total sum spent in relief under the control of the treasury in the period. Though Strzelecki was formally chief administrator of the Irish BRA fund, in practice with the exception of the schoolchildren scheme he was usually confined by the BRA committee to the service of treasury instructions.
Strzelecki's close contact with the starving and his chivalrous personality made him one of the most responsive agents of relief during the famine.
His sympathetic and respectful portrayal, in committee, of the Irish catholic clergy served as a corrective to wilder anti-papist elements in British politics at the time. During the early s he was naturalised as a British subject and acted as government adviser on Australian affairs.
In he took part in the Crimean army fund committee. He died 6 October at his residence in Savile Row, London.

The salient facts are that despite his initial expressions about Gandhi, Churchill did attempt to alleviate the famine. It was part of his pattern of response to any political issue that while his early reactions were often emotional, and even unworthy of him, they were usually succeeded by reason and generosity. If the famine had occurred in peacetime, it would have been dealt with effectively and quickly by the Raj, as so often in the past.
The Age of Invention
The Royal Air Force and the Army were fully stretched. We know what terrors the Japanese wreaked n non-Japanese natives in Korea, the Philippines, and Malaya. The blame for insufficient famine relief lies with those who prevented those planes from being used: the Japanese. There was a war on.

More pressing military matters were at hand which governed his actions and decisions. Thirteen years ago at our conference, one of these was recited by William F. Buckley, Jr.
This article is a prize-winning example of non-history: the myopic determination to find feet of clay in a man who was human and made mistakes, like everybody else, but who remains admirable, warts and all, mostly because he gave all his papers to an archive where carpers can pore over them. One of his more balanced critics observed recently that Churchill may have had one foot of clay, but that the other foot was anchored firmly in his innate decency.
I might find that he was adopting views with which I disagreed. Yes, Churchill had a blind spot where Gandhi was concerned, despite the positive things he wrote and said to Indians, from Birla and Gandhi in to Nehru in , which his critics never bother to quote.
