MCCORMICK urges
VISIT To EUROPE
Writes that Committee Could Get
New Idea of War.

The movement to send a Congress
sional Commission to Europe for a
session of the Inter-allied Parliament,
and for a general study Of the war
and war conditions, received a boost
yesterday from Representative Medill
Mccormick. of Illinois. Mccormick
Is one of two Representatives now
in Europe. the other being Clarence
B. Miller, of Minnesota. Writing
from abroad to Chairman Flood, of
the Foreign Affairs Committee, Nc
Cormick said:
II cannot tell you how much I have
learned In the fifteen days 1 have
spent in France and England. The
cables and the mails cannot possibly
convey an accurate impression of the
problem or give you any adequate
picture of the tremendous social and
economic concessions which support
the military forces and which must
continue effective in a very great
degree after the war.
"If the joint committe sends the
delegates to the parliamentary
conference they will bring home a
store of invaluable information and
no less would it bring to the belliger-
ent countries a moral support which
at this juncture would be of great
value.
THE political situation in France
is pretty good and in England 1t is
better, but the presence of the dele
gates from the American Congress-
to the two capitals would improve
it greatly. The French people, and in
a less degree the English people, are
disposed to attribute to us a miracu-
lous capacity for rapid organization
which we do not deserve. The French
especially will look for effective mill
tary help before We may give 1t to
them.
1.-THE coming of the Joint commission
will serve as a pledge Of the intention
which can only be fulfilled later"
