Danger of flood calamity in China
1
Torrential rains during recent weeks, while bring. ing relief to China's drought-stricken farm- lande, are reported to have swollen all rivers in China to dangerous levels, threatening any other devastating flood calamity this autumn. Some rivers have already topped the danger mark. In Kwangtung, overflowing rivers have laid waste more than 500,000 mows (six mows to one acre) of cultivated land.
