A CALL FOR TEAM WORK.

There should be immediate and cordial re-
Spouse on the part of the administration to
Senator Knox's plea for team work at Wash
ington. In asking for closer cooperation be-
tween the president and congress. in the con
duct of the war Mr.. Knox careful to avoid
criticism, and if Mr.. Wilson responds to his APP
peal in the spirit in which it was made much
will be gained in the strengthening of public
confidence in the wisdom Of steps taken as the
war goes on.
Speaking in support Of the food administra-
ton bill, the Pennsylvania senator said it
seemed that some members of the senate 1t
they did not fear an abuse of power by the
Executive, still feared that the president might
execute the new laws through men not wisely
chosen. He thinks this is a natural feeling, and
that it is possible to allay these fears by close
cooperation between the executive and legisla-
tive branches Of the government ''Not as a
separate body he added, ''but as participants
in council with the executive should congress
be represented in the conduct of the war Only
in this way will unity Of direction be preserved
In this way only the congress remain in
helpful touch with executive deliberations. - He
did not exaggerate when he said this was the
only way.
The country is giving the administration
loyal support, as it must if we are to win the
war; but enthusiasm and confidence will be
strengthened, and partisanship, for which
there is no place now, will disappear as soon as
cordial cooperation is established between the
president and congress. The leaders in con
gress, regardless Of party, should be admitted
to and made to feel at home in the administra-
ton IS war councils.
