President Wilson has raised the direct
issue between congress and the~country'
as to whether the war department
should be strengthened to win the war
He suggests that congress would be
slow in granting any further blanket
authority to the president and raises
the question whether the parliamen
tary system Of government Is not moro
responsive to the people.
Continuing he said; From now on
It Is not likely that appropriations Will
be granted without careful supervision
and that propositions looking toward
the grant of extraordinary powers over
commerce and industry are not likely
to be unchallcnged. In fact. many
members OF congress voted for meas

Models Of legislation have been copied

from the United States are expected
to relieve that situation also.
No reserve of any food is in sight,
however. In spite of the decreased
consumption which has accompanied
strict enforcement of rationing.
