Land Reform Doesn't Solve
Problems of China Farmers
Hong Kong (U.R) Land re
form has not solved the prob
lems of China's farmers. They
still are plagued by famine,
flood, drought and insects.
Natural disasters are not their
only worry. Communist authori
ties are considerably upset over
a lack of proper ideology in
some areas. In all areas, the pro
duction quotas have been set so
high that the farmer has a tough
time meeting his government
commitments and feeding him
self.
Here are a few of the troubles
reported in Information from the
mainland:
Serious Droughts Occur
Serious droughts occurred in
some east China provinces dur
ing the winter, destroying up to
one-third of the crops. Heavy
spring rains and floods followed
the drought, ruining much of the
crops that were left.
In south China, some districts
are reported flooded. There, too,
droughts made spring planting
difficult or impossible before the
rains started.
In east China, areas not affect
ed by drought or floods, insect
pests have been raiding crops
for more than a month. Red
spiders have destroyed more
than 4,000 acres of wheat. Lo
custs and aphides have attacked
other crops and wasps are al
ready a serious problem to fruit
growers.

Province in central China, in
northeastern and southwest
Kwangtung and in several west
China regions. Government
"food loans" have been sent into
some areas to assist starving
peasants but in other regions no
help has been forthcoming.
In fact, indications are that
food supplies are being export
ed from some areas which are
potential famine areas, to pro
vide much needed foreign ex
change for the Communist gov
ernment. "
In spite of these natural cala
mities, one of the biggest wor
ries of China's peasants is poli
tical A recent article in a Hu
nan newspaper said that the
"most prevalent and serious
thought problem among the
peasants "... is the fear of so
cialism," the fear, in other
words, that they would soon be
forced to give up their land to
the state.
"If this thought problem is not
removed," the article went on,
"the production enthusiasm of
the masses as well as the poten
tiality of the mutual aid teams
connot be fully recognized."

Let's go oa a picnic let's go to the shore, to the mountains to Aunt Susie's. Let's
go!
JRot let's stop, look and listen first! Of the 35,000 fatalities on the highways in
19T0, 14,310, or over four in every ten, were killed on Saturdays and Sundays. 644,200
more were injured or maimed for life. Last year the toll was even higher.
When you start out for a family week-end of fun, the Wheel of Fate is right
between your hands! One slight swing of that wheel can pull you over the line
and into the danger zone of oncoming traffic into tragedy and death.
Hurry-up week-end and holiday driving, riding bumper-to-bumper at hazard
ous speeds, leaves no leeway for split-second action. The wheel may be only a dead
stick in your hands. You've seen pile-ups on the highway three, five, seven or eight
cars telescoped into junk when a car ahead blew a tire and the wheel went out of
control. And you've thanked your lucky stars your family was safe that timet
So when you and Mom and Jack and Mary go week-ending on the highways,
respect that Wheel of Fate in your hands. Use k to guide your family home alive!
