GANDHI WILL START
NEW DRIVE TOMORROW
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AIMEDABAD, Idlia, July 31-The
Mahatma Gandhi tomorrow will begin a
new disobedience movement for Indian
independence wherein individual acts
will replace the mass campaign hitherto
in vogue.
The leader on that day will vacate
his ashram, or College Of Devotees. at
Sabarmatt. Thirty-two members of the
college. including Nine. Gandhi and Is
other women, will start march to the
village Ras, in Kairi district, and invite
the villagers to join in the movement.
If the mahatma should be arrested,
the ashramites will continue the march,
Gandhi said. He has disclosed his plans
to the viceroy, Lord Wilmington, with
whom Gandhi sought vainly an inter-
view, with a possible view to ending the
campaign.
The mahatma recently announced
discontinuance of the seminary in order
to start on fresh and sacred mission

COMMERCE BUREAU
POST GIVEN TH0RP|
,Amherst Economics Profes-
ser to Head Foreign and
| Domestic Group.

President Roosevelt today named DR..
Willard Thorp of Amherst, Mass. to be
director of the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce of the Commerce
Department, succeeding Frederick Felix
er Dr. Thorp is professor and is only
81 years old.
Under DR.. Thorp's guidance, partic-
ular stress will be laid on making avail
able economic facts and figures consid-
cred essential IN support Of the work OF
the National Recovery Administration
and of special application in long-range
economic planning for the department,
Secretary of Commerce Roper said.
It IS believed by Roper that with en-
phasis on basic research applying par
ticularly to problems such as the eSti-
mating of production and consumption,
the growth of productive capacity, the
expansion of industry in terms of equip
ment, market and employment, ma
chinery depreciation and the future Of
American foreign trade, better sense
of direction can be given to business
with eventually a much greater degree
Of national economic security and sta
bility.
Must Face Problems.
Such work in the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce rests on the
belief that longterm problems Of the
type listed above must be faced if in
dustry is to be put back on sound
footing and started forward once more
along the pathway of a reasonably
assured progress, Roper said.
The established functions of the re-
organized bureau in the promotion of
trade at home and abroad will be car
ried on as usual, the Secretary de-
to studies which may assist in the de-
termination of broad economic policies,
helpful not only to business men, but
to the Government as well.
In the field of long-range planning,
as we'll as in supervising the more gen.
eral services of the bureau, Mr.. Roper
said Dr. Thorp will work in the closest
cooperation with the recently organ
lied business advisory and planning
council for the department. DR.. Thorp'S
training and experience, according to
Mr Roper. seem to provide him with
ideal qualifications for this work.
At Amherst Since 1926.
DR. Thorp has been professor of eco
nomics at Amherst since 1926. Since
1923 he has been member of the
research staff of the National Bureau
Of Economics Research For some time
he has been a staff member of the
Committee on Government Statistics
and Information Service, set up by the
American Statistical Association and
Social Science Research Council.
This is an organization engaged at
present in reviewing the statistical work
of the Government at the invitation
of the Secretaries of Agriculture, In
terror, Commerce and Labor. DR..
Thorp is a native of Oswega, N. Y.

A Little Encouragement

Encouraged by the sight of prominent democrats taking President Roosevelt and his administration policies to task the republican grist mill at national head quarters is going to work. 1t has been turning out some propaganda of recent weeks. Probably the memory of how the democrats wrecked the Hoover machine right after Herbert went into office IS motive behind these attacks. Somehow or other we don't think that the g.o.p. publicity bureau is going to be as success full in it's efforts as were those of Charlie Nicholson and his aides.
 In the first place the former senator from Ohio, Simeon D. Fess, also past na- tional chairman of the republican party, is doing lot of the complaining and MT Fess' stock has dropped as low in recent years as that of the leaders of the "big board. MT Fees says there can be no recovery under the present tactics of the democratic administration. MT Fess in years past also was quoted as saying that we had turned the corner. That was back before real hard times had commenced. He was but one of several prominent re- publicans who made themselves rather ridiculous by talking about things of which later events proved they really knew nothing.
 As to the presidential monetary pro- gram being chaotic and uncertain, we can't say that it is any more so than it has been for some few years now. It IS only so, we are reliably informed, because some of our financiers prefer it to be-. They don't care for the majority of the people of this country becoming too well informed on how matters of high finance are transacted. The testimony that the several senate Investigating committees have brought to the public motive cer- tainly prove that we were played for suckers. We certainly rose to the bait, but we don't to MT Fess' nor that of his comrades in arms.

Where's The Action?

We had looked for a bit more action from the druggists of the state on the question of their status under Connecti- cuts liquor conrol act! But perhaps the fault isn't theirs. They have been en- deavoring for some time to be allowed to compete with package stores in the sale of liquors through issuance of different permits. The control board allotted them package store permits which would have throttled sales during certain hours when the drug store would still be open for bus mess. Druggists permits would have suf- ficed for this.
 A test case was scheduled to start in Hartford early this week, but it seems to have missed fire Probably this is due to the fact that the control board isn't anx- ious to meet test case. Unless the board acts on the application for druggists permit there can't be any court action. In the meantime the state marks time. And we wouldn't be surprised to see the state continue to mark time, judging by retail prices now being charged in the few pack age stores that have been opened
 There was considerable said in our state papers about relaxing the statutes to favor druggists, but if that is done, there is sure to be an instant demand from hotel and restaurant proprietors to give them break. In fact, they are organized right now with the avowed purpose of securing special legislative session at which the control act will be modified to permit sale of mixed drinks. If there is one factor that may contribute to the continuance of the speakeasy in Connecticut it is this feature of our law which bans sale of highballs or cocktails in glass form to, be consumed on the premises. To prevent abuse of the law we think this concession will ultimately be forced on us by loss of tax revenue and by violation of the law through illicit sales.

Clean Up The Bills

It is interesting to read reports of var ious city officials. Almost unanimously you will find that the work of their de- partments has been 1ampered of recent years by lack of funds. Yet efficiency has not been destroyed. Accomplishment has been registered. There is one fault with our system of government. Nobody has invented a scheme whereby every taxpayer will pay his share of the expenses of the city government promptly. There are always back taxes with us. There prob ably always will be.
 The announcement that Waterbury is owed some $3,000,000 in back taxes is not startling to those of us who have followed tax collections of recent years. Since 1880 three-fourths of this amount has accumulated on the books. It isn't always bill that has been overlooked or neglect ed. There is deliberate avoidance of pay nents in many instances. We are happy to say, though, that in a majority it is simply due to the times. People haven't got the money to pay their taxes.
 However, we look for more opportuni- ties to put aside tax funds in the coming nontAs. There are more people employed now than there have been for some time. Usa~As may not be as hiGh as thev were

A New Competition

Shrewdness of Yankee traders is a household phrase. It is only in America that we have David Harums, according to the popular and blindly smug-view. But the Japanese seem to be showing us a few tricks along this line. And these tricks have reached the point where they hurt. American manufacturers visioned a steady flow of gold into this country when they started to receive orders from Yokohama, Tokio and Osaka.
 Locomotives, factory machinery, engine parts, valves and many other U. s. pro- ducts went across the Pacific. Factory owners prepared for repeat orders on large scale, once the Nipponese became acquainted with our products. But they reckoned without the willy Orientals. To the last cotter pin, the Japanese copied the American machinery. U. s. models served for factory machinery. Out of these factories came low-priced goods, made with cheap Japanese labor.
 Statistics show that great harm has been done to American manufacturers by the Japanese ''copycats". Export trade has been damaged severely. What can be done to circumvent this new threat is matter for serious thought on the part of American industrial leaders.

Know Your Waterbury Its History, Facts and General Information
HISTORY

Although the exact date of the arrival of Reverend Jeremiah Peck in Waterbury is not certain it is be- lieved to have been before May 20, 1889, and although he was prob- ably an ordained minister before coming here he could not perform his duties here until the organtza- ton of @ church, so for this reason the planters continued to take their children to Pennington for bap- tism. Approximately sixty-three children were born here between 1881 and 1901 forty-five were bap- tized in Pennington before the or ganization of the church here, the last to be baptized there being Ebenezer Richardson.
 The war between France and England may be said to have de- layed the forming of the First Church of Waterbury. While the residents here were entitled to 8 church organization in 1891 hav- ing their franchise they neverthe- less delayed organizing. In May, 1893, MT Peck received two hun- dred acres for a farm. In 1894 mention was again made of 8 meet ng-house, but there was no rec ord of it's being finished or where MT Peck preached. Another min ister, due to the incapacity of MT Peck was considered and until the ordination of MT Southmayd chill ,dren were taken to other towns for baptism. He died in June, 1899, at 77 years of age.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Why The War Did Not End In 1916

The second volume of the "War Memoirs" of David Lloyd George now is available; and it gives one, unintentionally, about as dreary and discouraging an insight into the war tragedy as one ever could want. ea
 As1916 drew to a. close, the world was getting tired of war-under- standably, since the frightfld sacri- fees of Verdon and the Somme were matters of recent memory. In all countries tentative move- ments toward peace were begin ming. The British cabinet discussed a peace plan. Germany was known to be ready to talk peace.
 It was Lloyd George, more than any other statesman, who squelch- ed this talk. A negotiated peace at that time, he insisted, would settle nothing. The war must go on until complete victory had been gained.
 German militarism must be crushed absolutely. The allies must stick to it and administer a knock out blow. Otherwise the postwar years would be fraught with dan ger, injustice, and fear.
 Well, Lloyd George had his way. In this book he elaDOrateS on ms stand and justifies it. And it is rather appalling to find a responsi- ble statesman, in the years 1893, who can feel that anything very consequential was gained by extend- ing the war for two more years.
 Peace in 1916 would have pre- vented communism in Russia and Hitlerism in Germany. The outlook for peace today could be hardly worse than it is. The world might have been spared an infinite amount of suffering. By going on with the war the world gained just what?
 Anyhow, here's Lloyd Georges story. It gives valuable insight into wartime stategy and diplo- macy. criticizes certain English statesmen and soldiers rather sharply, removes some more of Kitchener's halo, and tells about the collapse of the Asquith coali- tion cabinet. And, as I say, it's all pretty depressing.

The only way to be able to read high way sign at 200 feet in one second is by placing six-inch black letters on yellow background Scientists have been experi menting with various types of signs and find that the combination of black and yellow is the best. Therefore we can ex- pect movement almost any time now to standardize yellow signs with black let ters. There have been efforts made to standardize all highway signs of recent years Most of them seem to be white with black letters. We wonder if many states will scrap these in favor of the yellow and black. One reason for picking on yellow signs is the ability to stand out against all sorts of backgrounds at all sea- sons of the year. If Connecticut puts county jail inmates to work making high way signs after January 1, it might keep in mind the above facts.
