Washington, April 2l.--One hun
dred a1rd sixty-tWo senators and
representatives have tentatively ar
ranged to take themselves and their
families on 60-day junket to the
Orient, virtually at government ex-
penSe on one or more army trans
ports. The party is expected to
number 500 OF more.
The trip, if present plans do not
miscarry, promises 10 be the most
elaborate junket ever put on by con-
gress. Its purposes tfe somewhat
obscure but veritable thirst for
knowledge about the far eastern sit
uation seems to have developed
among congressman since the prof.
ect was announced. Many mem
bers Believe they will be able to leg
islate with far greater intelligence
on matters sppertaining to the Pa
cific ocean if they take the trip
Cost Will Be Large.
The junket will take in Hawaii,
Guam, the Philippines, Japan, China,
Korea and perhaps to,aeh at.Vladi-
vostok. IT'S cost to the government
will run high into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars, but members
who take it are satisfied that this
will not be inconsistent with their
economy preachments in view of the
store of knowledge they expect to
gain.
Practically the only expense of the
trip to the members of congress will
be $l.25 a day per head for sub
sisterNe. or about S75, per person for
the entire trip. 1t is expected that
the officials at the various ports
they will visit will be authorized by
their government to entertain the
congressional party royalty, so that
.the cost of travel will be practically
nothing.
Randall Is Sponsor.
Representative Randall, the pro-
hibition congressman from Califor
MIA, is the chief sponsor for the
trip. Z He said that approximately
IS democratic members of the
house and IS republican, members
and II senator's had tentatively ac
cepted invitations on behalf of their
families and themselves to take the
trip. He expects, however, that the
list will be. cut down to about 90
members and their families when
the junket is, ready to start.
The War department is showing
a gratifying spirit of cooperation
in >arranging the trip. 1t stands
ready to furnish the transports nee
essary to carry all senator's, congress
men and their relatives who wish
tc> take the trip, provided good
reason for using the transports can
be furnished.
Those who are looking forward
to the trip heard disconcerting news
when it was reported that Presi-
dent Wilson is thinking up ways
of keeping congress- On the job dur
ing the summer and fall campaign.
This may force some curtailment of
the intinerary, but will not halt the
trip, it was stated.
