And this is not the first time that the plan has done the vanishing act. The first time however shortly after the third five year plan was launched in 1963, peking acknowledged that it never really got off the launching pad. Those were the Days just after the great leap Forward debacle and of peking s More pragmatic planners were More concerned with repairing the damage from the past than they were trying to push Forward to unrealistic new those same pragmatists Are among the former officials now condemned by peking As capitalist China announced the Sec Ond launching of the third five year plan on Jan. 1, 1966. A year later peking was bragging that the plan was Well in orbit but they never did say where the orbit was taking the plan. This year there has t been a word out of peking about the plan at All. Actually the second third five year plan was prob ably never More than a Hope that was never even. Fully drafted on paper. By Way of precedent the first five year plan Back in the 1950s, was under operation for More than two years before peking worked out a final draft.

Limit 5 per customer and chairman Mao tse Tung on economic matters have since been Well documented in the polemics of the Cul Tural revolution. It May Well have been that arguments Over the third five year plan were vital factors in moving the rivalry Between Mao and Liu into today s irreparable split. Be that As it May peking is now making its immedi ate economic goals More obvious in its propaganda pronouncements than it did when it was claiming to be operating under a plan. In order of priority peking is demanding an increase in agriculture the stepping up of Coal production More efficiency in railway operations and More steel. Despite the setbacks of the cultural revolution China claims to have produced bumper crops last year. Although there is dispute Over final figures most China experts in the West agree that the Harvest was one of the Best China has Ever had. American experts estimate the Grain production reached the neighbourhood of 190 million metric tons whereas an unofficial figure from peking claims 230 million tons. Early this year however while the ground was still Frozen in vast areas of China s Grain producing areas peking was demand ing that the peasants get out and Start preparing for a new leap Forward in agriculture. Scattered food shortages have been reported in some areas of China and a number of refugees arriving in Hong Kong claim there is extreme hunger in districts near the Border. Some of the problem can be Laid to transportation difficulties but there is also a Strong probability that China is having to ship More food to War ravaged n o a t h Viet Nam. North Korea this year also has launched an almost frantic drive to get in an Early crop which May also be related to North Viet Nam s food problems.
