; Hong Kong, Oct. 15. The horrors of
the famine situation in Quangtung and
'Quangnj provinces are beyond adequate
'description.
i .-
,'' , The Chinese government, as usual,
' has been able to do practically noth
c'ing for the Buf forers. Ordinarily the
British at Hong Kong would have been
active In relieving the most acute of
"dtfctrtxn but the war has paralyzed re
lief work. Missionaries have accom
plished a little, but conditions are no
frightful and Involve such enormous
numbers that even a widespread and
, financially powerful organization
; would be swamped.
As a result the wretched C ninesn
ha've been left almost wholly to their
fate.
As is Invariably the ca.se in China,
'even approximately correct figures
re unobtainable, but it h, at any
rate, safe to say that the famine
stricken number millions. Perhaps
1,000. OOii have died. The total has
certainly run already well into the:
hundreds of thousands. White men
who have traversed the famine sec
tions of the two provinces estimate
'.conservatively that well toward a third
i of their population will succumb ulti
mately. ,
-') Thf. foulest refuse, grass roots and
'leaves, bark.veveryLhing even sugges
tive of edibility. Is greedily devoured.
:;!ln places the people have pulled down
Wooden portions of their houses,
' pounded the timber Into meal and tried
to eat it. There' undoubtedly have
been cases of ca nnibulism.
The famine is due to th crop de
struction - incident to the floods of last
cummer. Capable engineers say they
could be wholly prevented by a proper
; system of drainage and dyking, but
the money for It is lacking. At inter
vals there have been such visitations
timmemorlally but the present is un
precedented iii its severity. The prov
inces are among the most thickly set-
tied in China, which aggravates the
."I Situation's seriousness.
