NAVY HEAD QUITS
BRITISH CABINET.
Duff Cooper 'Distrustfup
of Chamber|ain's Foreign
Policy.
ry the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. l.-Great Britain's
outSpoken first lord of the admiralty
resigned suddenly today in "distrust'
of Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain's new foreign policy. His action
was expected to give the lead to
growing number of rebellous govern
ment supporters who share his dis
trust"
The navy head. conservative Alfred
Duff Cooper, told the Prime Minister
in his letter Of resignation:
Il profoundly distrust the foreign
policy which the present government
is pursuing and seems likely to pursue
in the future"
The bluntly worded resignation of
the 48-year-old Duff Cooper. an oxford
graduate and decorated World War
veteran. came just one day after Mr..
Chamberlain returned as popular
hero from Munich bearing an Anglo
German antiWar pact and four
power agreement sacrificing CZecho-
slovakia for what he called peace
with honor"
Mobilization OF Britain's mighty
fleet at the crucial moment by Mr..
Duff Cooper was reliably stated to
have had more effect on the war
intent Hitler than Mr.. Chamberlain's
peace flights.
The resignation followed an un-
usually frank speech by a pro- French
member of the government bloc, Harold
Nicolson. a National Labor member of
Parliament.
He declared in bitter attack upon
the Chamberlain policy that Il still
am not aware that his (Chamberlains)
final surrender had the approval OF his
own cabinet
Mr.. Nicolson was a leading spirit
in the abortive revolt which followed
the resignation last February 20 of
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, who
quit, like Mr. Duff Cooper, in protest
against Mr.. Chamberlain policy of
dealing with dictators. Then the
Prime Minister was working on an
agreement with Premier Mussolini of
| Italy
With the Munich four-power dis
memberment of Czechoslovakia effec-
! tive before the British Parliament had
time to ratify it, Mr. Nicolson plainly
hited that Mr. Chamberlain had
ignored not only the House Of Com
mons, but members of his own cabinet
as well.
Among the names mentioned in this
connection were those of Minister of
Health Walter Elliot, President of the
Board of Trade Oliver Stanley. and
Minister of Agriculture W. S. Morri-
son. with War Secretary Leslie Hore-
Belisha 'in the background
Despite Mr.. Duff Cooper's action,
other designations, although not ruled
out, are considered no more likely now

No Longer Provocative

Some years ago we could always pro- yoke an argument when the State De- partment of Health would announce it's annual population census. The present shows that here in Waterbury there are estimated to be 106,5O persons resident. This is in excess of the 1880 federal census figures and might represent natural growth since Uncle Sam'S figures were obtained. However, departmental fig ures, such as that of the Health Board, always were at variance with other esti- mates.
 Time was when Waterbury looked to the State Health Department, though, to prove it's claims that this city was in the 100000 class. It rarely, if ever, failed us. And then when the Health Department had established fine figure for this city, there would come discouraging report from the State Board of Education. Its estimate would bring Waterbury'S popu- lation down below the 100000 mark. Why, even at one time the departments esti- mate had Waterbury far below New Brit ain. That was when the welkin rang with shouts of injured pride and feelings.
 However, the 1880 federal census strengthened that out and put Waterbury a step and leap away from the 100000 class. Since then opinions have varied. There are those who claim the city has lost in rank what with people moving away for lack of employment. On the other hand it might be pointed out to- day that there are few vacant rents avail able in Waterbury, let alone empty houses. So when the Health Department puts our population at 106,500, it prob ably isn't far from wrong.
 Another point of contention used to be the standing of Hartford and New Ha- ven. The Elm City once was leader, but Hartford has forged so far ahead now it looks like it can never be caught in an argument Gone are the population fights of the 2O's; we miss them for the interest they created and zest they pro- vided

Abundance

Monopoly or no monopoly, there is ob- vious sense in the advice given business by Professor O. M. w. Sprague, to attack the depression by cutting prices, produc- ing more goods and getting housing started on big scale. The housing is a special job, moving slowly; but almost any other industry might get rather quickly into the game of higher production and lower prices for goods. There would need to be, of course, sort of general agree ment about adapoting such policy, to make separate manufacturers feel safe in going ahead. It ought to be worth Seri- ous consideration by the United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Manufacturers Association.
 We seem to have gone about as far as we can get with an economy of scarcity" This new effort would be practical ex- pertinent in the philosophy of abund- ance" without sacrificing the principles of private capitalism and the "price sys- tenn" There would have to be profit, of course. The only change would be to make prices as low as possible, instead of trying to keep them as high as possible.
 It may sound "batty' to some business men. Yet the principle of cutting profit to the bone, to stimulate consumption and enlarge production, is sound enough as economic theory, and has been proved wise in practice. Many small profits may exceed few large ones. MT. Woolworth showed us that long ago. Henry Ford has made the greatest American fortune because he believed it.
