Let's use the same kind of statistical analysis the Public Health Service is using to "prove" that cigarettes cause caucer. We'1l use only statistical facts taken from bona fide population surveys. 1. Americans s.oke a lot and some of them die of lung cacicer. The Dutch smoke less than Americans, but more of them die of lung cancer. 2. The Australians smoke a lot and some of them die of lung cancer. The British smoke as much as the Australians, but twice as many British have lung cancer. The Norwegians don't smoke a lot,. but some die of lung cancer. The Finns smoke the same as the Norwegians and twice as many Finns die of lung and bronchial cancer. One statistical inference is very clear. In each pair of countries, the higher cancer rate is in the country closer to the Iron Curtain. By the same means that some public servants are using to indict cigarettes, we've just proved that Communism causes cancer. But you know and we know, Communism is not guilty. And nobody vet knows about cigarettes. THE TOBACCO INSTITUTE. CONFIDENTIAL: MINNESOTA TOBACCO LITIGATION TIM N 272537
