A jagged 1940s style rant blames Bates and Interior officials for the California fire disaster of 1470. It argues fires are natural to the chaparral in Southern California, worsened by dry periods and wind patterns. Domestic carelessness and expansion into fire-prone areas are cited as factors, with calls for stricter building codes and retardants, while predicting cycles of fires every few years.
