DALE's MISSION MAY BE OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE.

(trOm tne Boston IranScrtpt)
1t would have been good thing IL Con-
gress had officially sent a large and rep
resentative commission to Europe. not
only for the purpose of getting into
touch with our allies on the political and
economic questions connected with the
war and it's settlement. but to familiarize
themselves in some degree with the mil
itary task that our soldiers are facing
This Ia time when our rulers must "care
for abroad" whether they are by habit
inclined to do 30 or not. 1t is a time
for our national legislators to keep
their eyes and ears open to what is
passing The war is not European war,
though it's chief scene is in Europe. 1t is
just as much an American war as II is
European. The direct and intimate view
is needed by every American legislator
as by every administrator.
For this reason, 1t Is good thing
that 10 of our congressman at least are
to 20 to Europe, even "unoficially," to
meet the parliamentary representatives
of the allied countries. 1t would be
still better thing IL the commission were
larger and much more representative Of
the last ability and the active control of
Congress than 1t Is. In the list of rep
resentatiyes who have received passports
for the trip we see the name of but one
member from a New England State-that
