There is strong reason to doubt
that, Sir Walter Raleigh intro
duced tobacco to England. Shaky,
too. is the legend that when a
servant first saw Raleigh smok-
ing he thought his master was on
fire and drenched him with a
tankard Of ale.
They Just Enjoyed 1t
Millions Of Englishmen, and
millions elsewhere, paid no atten-
ton to the tobacco polemics; they
just enjoyed their pipe.
Cigarettes were slow in follow
ing pipes and cigars into wide
spread popularity, partly because
for many years they were looked
on as effeminate.
John L. Sullivan, rd-drinking
heavyweight prizefighter of the
'90s, once advised: .-...
Smoke cigarettes2 Drop it g.
you can't suck coffin nails and
be a ring champion. Who
smokes 'em? Dudes and college
stiffs-fellows who'd be wiped out
by a single jab or a quick up
pereut."
And what of tobacco In mod
ern days? Here's a set of figures:
In 1861, an estimated 70 mil
lion Americans bought more than
sos billion cigarettes-the most in
any year. 1t figures out at more
than 200 packs for every man,
woman and child over IA.
Billions Of Cigars ,-
That same year Americans
bought IL billion cigars, rs mil
lion pounds Of smoking tobacco,
IS million pounds of chewing
tobacco and "a million pounds Of
snuff.
Seventeen million Americans
earn all or part of their liveli-
hood from tobacco.
Consumers spent about SIS bill
lion for tobacco products in 1861.
About $3.1 billion of that was for
Federal, State and local excise
taxes.
To thrive as it has, the to-
bacco industry has had to meet
serious trouble arising from find
ings by a considerable body of re-
searchers that there. may be a
link between smoking and lung
cancer.
However, the steadily rising
rate Of consumption would seem
to indicate that the average
American smoker is not greatly
concerned, or else can't conquer
the habit. -..- ....-

Criticism Here

Many Americans - including
several Congressman and Senator's
have never been able to accept
the idea Of helping a Communist
country, albeit "non-aligned."
These critics become loudest when
ever Yugoslavia's relations with
the Soviet Union improve, and
most muted when Moscow hurls
insults at the Yugoslav revision
lists"
Since Picking considers the
Soviet leaders to be "revisionist"
as well, the Soviet Union and
Yugoslavia have been on quite
good terms in recent months.

TOKYO.-No joking matter in
a Japan with strong pre- = war
ultra nationalistic leanings is a
religious sect intent on a political
campaign to gain added represen-
tation in the National Diets Upper
House. This is the militant Soka
Gakkai and it claims a member
ship of % million households.
Soka Gakkai, in English the
Value Creating Study Group" is
no postwar phenomenon "shot up
like bamboo shoots after rainfall"
to fill defeated Japan lost-war
spiritual vacuum. It dates back
to 1880 though it's political success
was first noted in 1859 when it
won six Diet seats. One was a
woman teacher who gained the
highest count in her Tokyo con-
stituency over three veteran male
politicians.
The sect was founded by fiery
Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, primary
school principal who worshiped
the equally fiery 18th century
Buddhist teachings of the unor-
thodox fisherman-priest Nichiren.
Jailed by prewar militariSts,
Makiguchi became a martyr after
his death.
Become Mortyr
Soka Gakkai attracts working
class people, lonely women, bach
elors adrift and the marginally
employed. All rallied to Maxi
guchi's successor josef Toda, who
devised the key word "shakubuku'
to break and subdue evil-and
steered the group noisily into pol
itics. Membership grew and for
this among other reasons Soka
Gakkai makes it a rule never to
deduct the number of seceders
from its ranks.
Now it prepares for the Upper
House voting. It will run nine
man slate and expects to seat all
nine.
So powerful is the sect that

finding by the Royal College Of

a cause of lung cancer"
The British physicians figured
that a heavy cigarette smoker,
aged IS, faces odds of one In %
that he will die of lung cancer,
and that the odds for a nom
smoker are one in 90. q
Cancer Society Research
The American Cancer Society,
which in 1858 reported a possible
link between smoking and cancer,
figures the lung cancer death rate
is $3.50 times as high among
heavy smokers as non-smokers.
Only last month, the National
Cancer Institute, Federal agency,
released figures that the chances
a pack-a-day smoker will get lung
cancer are Is times as great as
those of non-Smoker.
Whereas Americans in the
smoking ranks grow each year,
the Royal College report is said
to have made a tremendous i'm
pact on the British public. Some
tobacco shops have reported q
drop in sales Of as much as 20
per cent. The value of shares in
British tobacco companies fell
sharply.
The tobacco industry supports
extensive research of its own, al
ready costing millions of dollars,
into the Smoking-cancer question.
Its position has been, and re-
mains, that there has been no
proof that a link exists. In its
latest report, this year, the
Tobacco Industry Research Com
mittee said the lung cancer smok-
ing idea is still no more than q
theory.
Other Causes Cited -
The committee maintained that
the cause or causes of lung cancer
are still unknown, and may in
clude air pollution, viruses,
heredity, stress, hormones or diet.

Fifty Years Hence:
AMuskie Prediction

A prediction Of what the
United States win be like so
years from now was made by
Senator Muskie, Democrat of
Maine, in an address in Chicago
recently at the observance Of
the 5Oth anniversary Of the
Chicago Society Of Polish Ma
tiOnal Alliance. An excerpt from
the speech follows:
Let us dare to look ahead so
years-to the world Of 2012.
Speculation on the shape of the
future has its hazards, Of course,
but it is neither idle nor futile.
1t may seem incredible, for ex-
ample, but away back in 1885,
Alexis de Tocqueville, the Shrewd
French observer who wrote the
monumental study Of Democracy
in America" wrote in these words:
There are at the present time
two great nations in the world
which started from different
points, but seem to tend toward
the same end. I allude to the
Russians and the Americans. Both
of them have grown up I'M
noticed; and whilst the attention
of mankind was directed else
where, they have suddenly placed
themselves in the front among
the nations, and the world learned
of their existence and their great
ness at almost the same time g.
their starting point is different,
and their courses are not the
same; yet each Of them seems
marked out by the will of heaven
to sway the destinies Of half the
globe"
Morxism as Factor
De Tocqueville could not know
that MARKHAM communism would
be a controlling factor in the
formation of the Goth century
Russian state, but on the basis
of population, geography, and eco
nomic resources, he could forecast
the Importance of that vast land
to the east of Europe as well as
that of the United States.
De Tocqueville's prediction also
suggests that political systems
may reflect, but do not neces-
sarily determine, the relative
power Of states.
We must bear this in mind as
we ask ourselves what our world
will be like in 2012.
What will our headlines say?
What will our international TV
news reports reflect?
Perhaps we may find a mean
ingful portent of the future in
these imaginary items from the
press reports of May 10, 2012, AID:
Congress refuses to increase
membership in the House of
Representatives-votes to main
tain 435-seat limit despite popula-
ton gains"
The United States will be a
more crowded place in so years
Instead Of a population of 1876
million, we will have popula-
ton Of 400 million. This will

cate ourselves; it will also strain

democracy.
