Letters to the Editor
By 
From Life magazine, 26 September 1955, weeks after massive Arab revolts in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria — and a corresponding wave of French colonial violence — claimed nearly 1000 lives across North Africa:
Sirs:
I applaud the French retaliation against the tribal forces. To withdraw colonial conditions could only lead to chaos. A logical mind doesn’t combat such movements toward home rule with words and promises, but with guns and military supplies.R.H. Gerding

Sirs:
Having lived in North africa, I can attest to the vast amount of good that France has done in that area. France has a thankless task, but is standing up to its share.H. I. Schneider

Clearly, I need to stop reading my mother-in-law’s old copies of Life magazine and start enjoying my first trip to Arizona.
