Dear Comrade:

"By. "ROBERTLCRABBE -

PEKING (UPI) - The folks down at the Dadian farm commune 800 miles south of Peking, say the Communist Party’s farm policy is just great, but won't someone please send some soap so they can take a bath after a hot day in the fields,

So wrote Bian Shou-Liang,

president of one, of the commune’s production brigades, in a letter published recently in the

Peoples Daily, the official Communist Party newspaper.

Bian's gripe that soap and washing powdet available only on the black market in his part of Anwei province in -central Chinn was aired to a nationwide audience,

"Comrade! Editor,” Bian wrote.

The. broad masses of commune ‘members are overjoyed at the’ im- plementation of the party’s various policies. regarding the rural areas.

“With unprecedented high enthusiasm we labor in the fields from early morning until late at night.

“In the summer our work in tho fields makes us sweat all over. We want to take a thorough bath ' after our return home, Yet over the past few years the supply of rural daily necessities - soap, toilet‘ soap, washing powder and soda, have almost been suspended.”

Bian said that ‘since last autumn, only, one cake of soap, which is rationed, has been supplied to each family in his production brigade.

We love it here but it stinks _

The farmer also groused - that stores in nearby cities: scem to be well supplied with soap. But Bian said

members of his brigade‘can't , buy any soap ix the cities . because their soap ration |

tickets are good only at their local store.

“Some merchandise is at present in short supply. Wo assume the state will car- mark part of it .for _yural consumption, but it is nowhere. to be found by members of our commune.

The only way to get soap without a local ration ticket, Bian said, is to buy it on the black market at well above the normal price.

In a commentary that accompanied his letter, the Pdoples Daily urged that steps be taken to see that rural districts get their fair share of scarce goods,
