     "When I was deported from China I was sent from Shanghai, and I spent the night in the waiting-room there with my guard, and there I got talking to two peasants from group nine of the Red Star co-operative in the Yinchiang area to the north of the province of Kweichow. My guard was asleep, and as they knew that I was in custody they trusted me, and they told me in an undertone that all their group had deserted the co-operative to go into the mountains to pick roots and mushrooms in order to have something to eat. They said that in their area there was a famine every spring."]
