misgivings about studies which
indicate a connection between

ing.
DR.. Joseph Berkson, the Mayo

expressed the belief that studies
so far provide no basis to CON
iclude definitively that smoking
causes cancer or even that 1t
necessarily is associated with
it,"
Eve may be dealing with a

were obtained" he said in a re-

He added, however, that "at
the very least these studies pose
a strong presumption that smok-
ing may cause cencer and /or may
otherwise be deleterious to
health and longevity"
He proposed an extensive pro-
gram Of laboratory tests with
animals before any "definitive
conclusions" are drawn about
cancer and smoking. He said
there is a "paucity Of direct

The Tide Is Running Out on CoIonioIism,
But French Still Have the Upper Hand

1t seems to Americans IA
miliar with Morocco that its
French colonials have one of
the softest touches Of this
high-tax era.
They are enjoying a rich and
strategically important coun-
try in which they are indis-
putably top dog. The central
government in Paris takes care
of major public improvements
and maintains an army to pro-
tect them. The colonials pay
small taxes-some people add,
if any. They run a low-wage
economy and the Moroccans
have nothing to say about how
they do it.
The climate is good; Mo-
rocco is said to be a cool coun-
try with a hot sun. In parts it
is gloriously beautiful. Com
pared with life in France to-
day. life here is pleasant. in
deed.
No one jumps to the conclu-
sion that there is a simple So
luton. France has done Won
ders to develop the country
and rescue it from native rulers
who only so years ago we're dis
playing their rivals in cages
and then throwing them to the
lions for a public spectacle.
This service deserves consid-
