Since the outbreak of war, in 1937, there has been no general crop failure in China. But a few local famines,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
which were caused by drought, floods, and pestilence, have, given a ghastly demonstration of what happens when the narrow dam that stands between the farmer’s life and the farmer’s death suddenly caves in.<\/div>\n
Those who have come out of the Honan and Kwantung famine districts tell weird, almost in credible tales of people eating bark off trees, people eating grass, people eat rats; of thousands of persons dropping dead at the roadside, of others going mad with hunger.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
