In the past 4 years we have seen Red Chinas supposed "great leap forward" result in a drop in daily calorie consumption from 2.200 calories a person each day to 1.350 per day. Red Chinas GNP fell 8 percent per capita between 1958 and 1961. The situation on the Chinese mainland seems today. more than ever. to be little short of chaotic. In the spring refugees started pouring into Hong Kong. if only to get one good meal before being regretfully sent back. Now we hear that the Communists have reversed their muchtouted antibirthcontrol policy in further admission of their inability to feed their burgeoning population. Indias fortunes have been in sharp contrast.
