openly aghast when Ambassador
Herrick introduced him as "a
real ambassador from the United
States-this boy"
The scene in the chamber was
one Of the most moving since the
days Of the Armistice.

Lindbergh, the boy, spoke and

General Girod addressed a great
tribute to his feat in uniting the
hearts Of two nations.
Ambassador Herrick VwaS over

withdrew, his short speech being
wildly acclaimed but being all too
short to suit his listeners.
The majority of the 500 deputies
were present and paid the closest
attention as Lindbergh spoke in "a
cool and clear boyish voice.
He apparently had steeled his cour-
