THE HUMAN ELEMENT

The fire prevention experts are
unanimously agreed that the human
element is responsible for most de-
structive fires. Here is a true story
of how human failure caused a fire
and permitted it to do an extreme
amount of damage.
A man was working on the floor
of his living room with a flam-
mable solvent. II was cold out
side, and the doors and windows
were closed He was smoking.
The can of solvent was accident
ally overturned and as he stopped
to retrieve it a glowing ash fell
from his cigarette. The result was
a flash of flame that quickly spread
throughout the room. He ran from
this room into the next, and the fire
followed through the open door
This was repeated from room to
room. BY the time the fire was
extinguished, damage to the struc-
ture, totaling several thousand dol
lars, had occurred. This, fortunately
was covered by insurance. But
there was an equivalent damage
to furniture which was not insured.
Here was a typical fire, which
can be credited to human error a
lone. Flammable liquids should be
used with the utmost care, and only
if suitable non-flammable prepara-
tionS are available They should
never be used in a closed room,
and the user should avoid smok-

ing at all costs.
Then, when the fire did break
out the opening Of doors into other
rooms was the worst possible mis-
take. The draft thus created fed
the fire perfectly. Had it been
confined to the one room, damage
could have been greatly minimized.
This little story would never
have been written had the man in
question known the basic rules of
fire prevention-along with what
to do If fire does strike. Mass edu-
cation is the only road to fire pre-

ism. But several of his key subor-
dinates had longtime personal as
sociation with a number of Chi

Vietnamese guerrillas have now
largely limited French control OF
Indo-C China to major cities and

This possibility apparently is the

Chinese Reds Arrival
Al Indo-China Border
Problem for French

HONG KONG, Dec. IA (CDN) .
The arrival Of the Chinese Com
munist armies last week at the
border of Indo-China makes pos
sible for the first time major di-
rect overland contact between the
new center of Far Eastern power
In Peiping and the revolutionary
movements in Southeast Asia.
The Communist advance to the
southernmost border of the main
land of China also raises serious
international questions that may
effect Western recognition Of the
new Communist-sponsored Chi
nese government.
It is estimated that nearly 100,-
900 battered Nationalist troops are
still scattered through the Ten
Thousand Big Mountains" as the
Chinese call the mountain range
dividing Kwangsi province from
Indo-C China.
But Gen. Pal Chung -hsi, Ma
tionaliSt commander, has evacu-
ated his headquarters to Hainan
island.
May Provide Policy Test.
The defeated Nationalist troops
promise to provoke the first test of
Chinese Red policy toward Indo-
China and indirectly toward sew
eral other Southeast Asian coun-
tries. Communist Premier Foreign
Minister Chou En-lai two weeks
ago warned the French against
permitting Nationalist troops to
enter Indo-China. He stated that
If the Nationalists were given
sanctuary in Indo- China the Com
munists would be forced to follow
them up and destroy them.
The French already alerted to
the danger of the Chinese civil
war washing over into Indo-C China.
repeatedly have denied Nationalist
Gen. Pal permission to retreat
southwark. But the China -Indo-
China border is poorly defined and
criss crossed with smuggling
routes and byways difficult to
police.
Although large proportion Of
French Indo-C China forces. es-
timated at i25,O00, are stationed
In northern Tonkin Province they
guard only the major border
points around the cities of Mongay,
Langson, Caobang and Laokay
The Hinterland is held by anti
French Vietnam guerrillas and
bandits.
Sought To Recruit Chinese.
The Vietnamese have long at
tempted to recruit Chinese mer-
cenaries and might welcome the
opportunity to absorb the defeated
Nationalists.
The French authorities in China
have stated that if the National
lists should retreat into Indo- China
they would attempt to act &C
cording to international law-dis-
Rrming them and shipping them to
Nationalist territory such as Hal
nan and Formosa. But admittedly
they are helpless to handle Ma
tionalist units. division size. even
If they crossed the border at
French-controlled points.
The Chinese Communists occu-
patton of Kwangsi province and
their possible pursuit of retreating
Nationalists into Indo = China
might provide the first test of the
Peiping governments policy to-
ward the anti-French Vietnam
revolutionary regime. Communist
guerrillas in Kwangsi and Yunnan
provinces repeatedly have cooper
ated with Vietnamese. .
