Red Chinese
Seen Hidinq
Food Fiasco
BY LEWIS GULICK
Associated Press staff Writer

American experts believe Red
China is trying to cover up mis-
management Of its agriculture
by claiming the worst weather
in 100 years ruined much Of
the 1860 crops.
At the same time that the
Chinese Communists have kept
countless millions hungry I'M
der strict rationing, they have
been sending stable exports Of
food to the outside world, State
Department analysts said yes
terday.
The Red shipments include
large amounts to places like
Cuba and Guinea where the aim
is to promote communism, not
economically sensible trade.
Peiping radio says wind,
pests, and a drought that almost
dried UP the great Yellow River
in 1860 affected $50 million
acres Of farmland, half of Com.
munist China's total cultivated
acreage.
United States authorities esti-
mate that actually, the Reds
1860 harvest roughly equalled
that Of the year before and was
close to average. They admit
China suffered some natural
disasters. but doubt they were
Of the size proclaimed by Red
propagandists.
They think the Peiping re-
gime perhaps is trying to set
the stage for another revision
Of its farm statistics.
Past Communist Chinese
agricultural figures have proved
phony on their face. For
example:
For 1859. Peiping originally
set a target Of SIS million
metric tons Of grains. This was
later chopped down to 275 mil
lion tons which Peiping said
was a 10 per cent boost over the
previous year.
Following the 1859 season
the regime then reported it
had actually harvested 270 mil
lion tons-and declared it had
exceeded the target which it
listed as $50 million tons.
No figures were publicly pro-
claimed for the 1860 grain
stuffs target. Rather it was
said to be an increase of 10
per cent over the actual 1859
harvest. That would make the
goal for 1860 297 million tons.
According to American esti-
mates, the actual Red Chinese
harvest for 1859 came to about
80 per cent less than what
Peiping claimed, or about 100
million tons.
Meanwhile Communist China
has been sending large amounts
OF agricultural products both to
the Soviet bloc and to nom
Communist countries.
