So rapidly did the flames spread

The mor2ue was a pitiful sight.
The little bodies were all laid on slabs
and frantic mothers were there in

President of Mexico
MENICO, CITY, December Ia
The admirable nonstop fight OF Col
| Lindbergh from Washington to Mexico
City, is, in my opinion. feat not in
ferior in difficulties of technical
order to that other flight. which con.
secrated the flying young colonel as
a glorious aviator. when he few from
New York to Paris
The last part of yesterdays flight
over territory entirely unknown TO
him and over dangerous and difficult
zones. where there are no roads or
landscapes which could guide him,
and the deviation from his original
route which made him pass over the
states of Guanajuato and Michoacan.
has proved to the world that Lind
bergh is an exceptional navigator of
the air.
His marvellous resolution and
energy prevented him from landing
elsewhere and he kept true to his
purpose until he so valiantly landed
in the Mexico City airdrome.
Praises Good VIII.
The people of this capital have
known how to appreciate the worth
OF this fight. The frantic enthusiasm
with which Col. Lindbergh was re-
ceived by this city and the popular
homage rendered him. as we'll as the
homages that he will receive during
his stay among us, and the anguish
experienced by all of us, who were
awaiting for him at the airdrome of
Nalbuena when we feared that he
might have encountered some mis-
terest and the love of the Mexican
people for the brilliant feat of Col
Lindbergh.
But the technical interest of this
flight as an heroical aviation stunt is
not all that has been accomplished.
myself regard the flight as a valuable
message of good will sent to us by the
good people of the United States. who
chose the highest representative of
their youth. power and heroism. and
spiritual and material rapproachement
between these two countries.
Admires Lindbergh's Type.
This is my view of Lindbergh' s
/ flight, and l may assure your readers
that the results from the point of
view of greater friendship between the
two countries have been already posi-
tive and immediate.
AS far as / am concerned / wish to
express my sincere and enthusiast
admiration for this marvellous type of
/ the modern hero, and my gratefulness
to him for having accepted my invi-
| tation to come to us, and to be the
| honor guest of Mexico. Finally !
wish to convey my most cordial con-
graduation to Col. Lindbergh, and TO
the American Nation. which has a
right to be proud of man of his type.
