THE vast majority of re-

The Army Secretary made
the observation on the closing
day OF a three-day meeting with

Rather, the grain has been
purchased from the despised
capitalist economies at the cost
of probably around $3.50
million"
Mr.. johnson said there was
an industrial failure in Red
China as well as the agricultural
failure. The ration of cloth in
the first half of 1861, he re-
ported, was only 11a feet, as
compared with the previous
ration of about 18 feet a year.
Since early 1860 Red China
has stopped issuing even limited
economic data, Mr.. johnson
said, but ut is clear that there
has also been a net drop of
serious proportions in industrial
production during both 1860
and 1861"
Production Drop
Food production in North Wet
Nam and North Korea has, on
a gross basis. largely been
standing still and, on a per
capita basis. has also clearly
been dropping" Mr.. johnson
said.
He contrasted this across
the-board failure of Communist
regimes in Asia with the per-
formance in free Asia.
I'm those crowded islands of
Japan" he pointed out, with
so little room for agricultural
expansion. agricultural produc-
ton both in absolute and per
capita terms has been going
steadily upward"
Rice production rose from
1875 million tons in 1856 to over
Is million tons in 1860, he re-
ported, and the manufacturing
index in Japan has more than
doubled in the five years be-
tween 1856 and 1860.
FOrmosa Rate Doubled
In Formosa the rate of in
dustrial production has more
than doubled between 1854 and
the first half of 1861, Mr..
johnson reported.
In India. industrial output
has about doubled in the last
10 years and agricultural pro-
duction is going up "in both
absolute and per capita terms, {"
Mr.. johnson said.
He concluded that "the past
few years have dramatically il
lustrated the point that the
sacrifice of independence and
political freedoms is not nec-
essary for economic develop
ment, and in fact may work
in exactly the opposite direc-
ton. This is a lesson that is
not being lost on Asia"

communiStic countries in Asia
with economic failures of Com
munist China, North Korea and
North Wet Nam.
THE puncturing of the great
myth" that communism was
the answer to underveloped
countries demand for rapid
economic development is prob
ably the most Immediately i'm
portant fact" in Asia today, Mr..
johnson told the Common
wealth Club of California in
San Francisco yesterday.
He had made the same COM
ments on November Is before
the Far East-America Council
of Commerce and Industry,
Inc, in New York.
So far the campaign appears
to be a one-man operation. The
United States Information
Agency has not made the point
a major theme in its broad
casts. Nor is the State De-
partment as a whole emphasiz-
ing the Red failure.
One high official said it may
be picked up and developed
later "as more evidence de-
velops."
In spite of the substantial
abandonment of the disastrous
commune SYSTEM" Mr.. johnson
said in both recent speeches.
food production in Communist
China today is substantially be-
low the 1858 level and there
are now IS to 40 million more
Chinese to feed than there were
in 1858. Per capita food output
is now below even the level in
1850 when the country was just
emerging from the ravageS of
the civil war. Whereas in 1858,
the year in which the great
leap forward was proclaimed,
staple food production was
around 210 million tons, in 1860
the total was about 1876 million
+Jlls: 1861 may be only a few
million tons above that. Aver
age daily food rations are now
less than the one catty Q.1
pounds) which is the very min
imal subsistence need. The av-
erage caloric intake is not over
1900 calories and probably 95
per cent of this is starch"
Imports Little Help
Red China's food deficiency
has been made up "only in
small part" by purchases of six
million tons of grain abroad,
Mr.. johnson said.
Where has this grain been
purchased? Not from the Com
munist block for. even after
all these years of Haunted
agricultural development, the
Soviet Union is normally still
only barely able to feed itself.
