Fire
Tragedy
MOST
TRAGICALLY
unfortunate
aspect
of
the
waterfront
explosion
and
fire
on
Friday
was
that
it
cost
two
valuable
lives
and
caused
extremely
serious
and
painful
injuries
to
other
victims.
The
incident,
on
the
.other
hand,
had
its
compensating
phase
for,
had
it
occurred
under
circumstances
such
as
at
times
prevail,
it
might
have
swept
the
waterfront
with
much
more
disastrous
conse-qMices
than
the
partial
destruction
of
an
oil
dock
isul
the
loss
of
one
fishing
vessel.
While
the
inquest
which
has
been
started
into
the
incident
may
or
may
not
definitely
establish
the
cause
of
this
blast
and
whether
or
not
the
exercise
of
certain
precautions
might
have
averted
it,
the
affair
focusses
attention
on
the
desirability
of
the
utmost
of
care
on
vessels
using
highly
com-bustiblo
or
explosive
fuel.
It
may
or
may
not
have
been
that
this
was
a
case
of
familiarity
breeding
casual
contempt
of
possible
danger
but
it
at
least
causes
reflection
along
that
line
which
in
itself
may
have
good
effect.
There
is,
undoubtedly,
tendency
aometilnes
to
be
careless
around
gasboats
although
there
is
nothing
brought
out,
as
yet,
to
indicate
such
was
the
case
here.
In
the
Lorna
H.
incident
the
city
fire
department
did
a
good
and
valiant
job
with
the
resources
at
its
command
resources
of
equipment
which,
under
possible
different
circumstances,
might
have
lxm
pitifully
futile
even
with
the
utmost
valor
and
resourcefulness.
If
the
tragedy
of
the
Lorna
H.
may
have
any
sequel
towards
preventing
further
incidents
of
the
kind,
there
will
have
been
at
least
some
consolation
to
the
whole
sorrwful
affair.
WAR
SEEN
SURE
AUR
ONLY
CHANCE
to
avoid
open
waravith
v
the
Soviet
Union
is
to
organize
the
world's
free
peoples
to
resist
Soviet
imperialism
.
.
,
Time
is
running
out
against
us."
So
warns
William
C.
Bullitt,
former
Ambassador
to
Russia
and
Prance,
in
The
Reader's
Digest
for
June.
The
article
i
condensed
from
The
American
Mercury.
Victory
in
World
War
II,
Bullitt
says,
brought
us
the
realization
that
"the
aims
of
Hitler
and
the
Japanese
militarists
are
united
in
the
person
of
Stalii."
With
virtually
all
of
eastern
Europe
al
ready
under
Soviet
control,
and
the
rest
of
the
Continent
gravely
threatened,
the
author
holds
that
the
"vital
concern"
of
the
United
States
is
to
prevent
Stalin
from.uniting
Europe,
Asia,
anti
Africa
for
a
"final
assault
on
the
Western
Hemisphere.''
Appraising
our
foreign
policy
since
1041,
Bullitt
charges
it
with
"ignorant
and
reckless
disregard
of
the
vital
interests
of
the
American
people
.
.
.
One
of
the
most
disastrous
errors
in
history
was
to
treat
the
Soviet
Union
as
a
peace-loving
democracy
instead
of
as
a
predatory
tyranny"
bent
on
werld
conquest"
In
Stalin's
tactics
today,
Bullitt
sees
a
parallel
U
Hitler's
aggressive
pre-war
moves,
"Our
position
now
singularly
resembles
that
of
France
in
1936,"
h
says.
"Ill-informed
Frenchmen
believed
that
Hitler
never
would
attack
France
just
as
today
srargaiers
argue
that
Stalin
never
intends
to
harm
the
United
States."
To
Greece
and
Turkey,
"where
the
deadline
of
disaster
is
visibly
close,
President
Truman
rightlv
gave
first
priority."
France
should
be
next
on
the
agenda
for
U.S.
support,
Bullitt
contends,
for
"control
of
trance
by
Stalin
would
mean
a
Communist
Europe.
The
Communist
Party,
while
mot
in
the
majority,
is
the
largest
single
partv
in
France
and
already
holds
the
ministries
of
National
Defence,
Labor,
Health,
and
Reconstruction.
It
controls
a
substantial
part
of
the
French
air
force,
and
its
"well-armed
underground
military
units
contain
more
men
than
the
regular
armv
in
rnuice."
Militarily,
Bullitt
warns,
a
Stalin
-
controlled
Franc
would
put
the
Soviet
air
force
at
Casablanca
and
Dakar,
and
in
French
Caribbean
and
Canadian
islands-close
to
the
Panama
Canal
and
the
St,
Lawrence
River.
"England,
facing
the
prospect
of
Russian
rockets,
could
hop
to
survive
onlv
at
a
large
bomb-torn
Malta."
Bullitt
urges
all
possible
U.S.
aid
to
leaders
of
tke
non-CommtMist
majority
of
the
French
Parliament
if
they
should
decide
to
combine
in
a
single
party
against
Communism.
A
democratic
France,
ht
holds,
is
the
surest
means
of
binding
the
European
democracies
for
their
own
defense
"which
is
our
defense."
Our
help
to
free
states
must
consist
of
superior
force,
the
author
says,
"not
merely
military
and
economic
but
the
force
of
ideas.
We
have
freedom
to
offer
the
world.
In
the
field
of
ideas,
freedom
is
our
atomic
bomb."
