Teamwork and the War.

Why not intimate visiting relations
between Congress and all the depart
ments of the government Let the pol
icy inaugurated by the War Depart
ment yesterday be copied and become
general.
Congress wants to know, and is en-
titled to know, all that is going on re-
speeding the conduct of the war 1t is
itself charged with very large obliga-
tons. 1t must not only fill Uncle Sans
purse, but pay out from it. 1t controls
all appropriations. Not a dollar is at
command without its authorization.
The country is but beginning to ap-
preciate the real size of the war order,
and the fact that the order is growing
in size. Great advantages would have
accrued had this appreciation come
earlier In our year of war-to be e1-
act, eleven months-we have done much,
but might have done much more had we
made better start. Our blunders are
plain enough now.
BIT what we need is improved fore
sight. Hindsight is valuable only as it
aiis in plans for the future. The point
is to avoid repeating our blundcrs.
To accomplish this, teamwork is indis-
pensable. The legislative and the execu-
tive departments of the government
must work together. They must under
stand. and, if possible. support each
other. Condolences must be exchanged.
When supplies are requested full de-
tails should be given. When supplies
are voted, interest should follow as to
how they are being employed.
There has been some waste. But it
is no fit reply to say that war itself is
waste. and that no war ever was or will
be economically conducted. No pre-
ventable waste should be tolerated.
Uncle Sam has an abundance of
money. He has never before been so
flush. But that is no reason WHY he
should throw it around like a spend,
thrift. he may need every dollar be-
fore the end. And who may fix the end
Some far-reaching developments of very
great importance to US are taking place
in the European situation, prefguring
not only longer period, but a larger
area, of hostiities. If the war is car
ried on a substantial scale into Asia,
our resources will be subjected to
heavy strain.
The War Department possesses infor
nation of much value to Congress, and
will possess more when Secretary Baker
returns. He has gone abroad for a
larger knowledge of war conditions
than can be obtained in this country:
and it is to be assumed that he will be
ready and willing to share with Con-
gress whatever may have come to his
ears from official sources.

Housing Problem Acute.

A survey of the present housing needs
in this city just completed by govern
ment authority presents problem that
must be attacked at once by Congress.
It is estimated that accommodations will
be needed in this city by the LIST of July
for 1880 more people than are now
provided for, and for 1890 additional
people by December 81. To provide for
these 81 500 people who win como here
in the next nine and q half months-ls.-
500 Of them within three and a half
months ,4s5 accommodations arc listed
with the central registration buresu.
And it is calculated that the bureau can
probably supply additional aceommods-
tions for 5000. With tho vacation Of
residential properties now used for gov
eminent Offices as new public buildings
are made ready, room will be afforded
for 40. Il Congress grants the author

without further parley under guaran-
tee of insurance and replacement after
the war. This is the only conceivable
solution of a problem that has arisen as
a result of the imperative need Of ships.
Holland did not dare use these vessels
for fear of their destruction by German
submarines. No neutral ships are safe
from the U-boats When Great Britain
gotiate for the use of these ships on
basis of allied risks Germany interposed
an objection with Holland, claiming that
the grant by her for the use of these
vessels would be violation of neutral
ity. Holland. exposed rs she IS to Ger
man invasion, naturally hcsitated about
closing the bargain Now the two allied
powers have cut tho knot by comman-
deering the ships Germany VIII have
no richtful ground for reprisals against
Holland. for The Hague government has
not consented to this arrangement. 1t
remains 10 he seen whether Germany
will recognize this fact. If it should be
to her interests to construc Hollands
compelled acceptance of the allies act
as a violation of neutrality she will
probably not hesitate to seize upon this
as 4 pretext for punishment, possibly
INVASION. But Germany will probably
not act against Holland unless she has
determined upon course of oppression
against all of the Scandinavian states.
for the interests of the four northern
aUtrals are identical and to Cypress one
is TO offend all. Germany has already
hegrn diplomatic proceedings against
Denmark in the matter of the intern
ment of the German prize crew on the
stranded steamer Igotz Mendi. and the
seizure of the Aland Islands has aroused
Sweden to protest. The whole Scandi-
navian situation may be affected by the
communicating of the Dutch ships.

ity to commander vacant properties
and allows funds for repairs, equipment,
etc, ABS more people can be accommo-
dated, making total of all accommoda-
tons now in sight, even with congress
sional authority for fitting up vacant
houses, of 1860 housings. This leaves
balance of 1926 people for whom
there is no provision now in sight.
These figures signify that unless funds
and the power to commander existing
buildings are granted by Congress all
possible housing facilities will be e1-
haustcd by the LIST of May. 1t will take
not less than two months, as an ex-
trenle minimum, to build and equip
temporary dormitories, and not less than
four months to build permanent houses.
Thus there is the most urgent necessity
for speed in providing legislative au-
thority
Private enterprise cannot be expected
to proceed toward the solution of this
problem. Prices are so high in the
building market that it would be folly
for individual capital TO undertake con
struction work, with the assurance that
even without restrictive legislation as to
rents the investment would prove loss
after the period of the war. With the
prospect of restrictive legislation pri-
vate capital is virtually prohibited from
undertaking building operations on the
large scale required by the present stu
alton.
The government must make its own
provision for its pressing needs. A bill
is now pending and a special rule for
its consideration in the House is ex-
pected soon to issue, under which the
Secretary of Labor may expend public
money to provide housing facilities here
for industrial workers. 1t makes no pro-
vision for housing for clerks, Specific
authorization for such construction in
the District of Columbia has been
stricken from the bill. This is a war
emergency and it is idle for the gov
eminent to delay in making its own pro-
visions.
