Four weeks ago Col. Lindbergh set- tied the matter in his own mind to at- tempt 2 non-stop flight to Mexico City in the interest of promoting interna- tional air commerce between the United States and the republics to the south of the Riv Grande At the time he confided this ambi- tion to a few intimate friends he pro- a slight | duced paper listing several other long- distance non-stop flight projects which he hopes to undertake, but the nature bands | of these are being guarded by the 3 | colonel's confidants in deference to his wishes Morrow's Hand Seen. Therefore, it was declared, Presi- dent Calles’ invitation was somewhat |as an anticlimax to the plans. That of the great ex- the noted pilot planned such an aerial voyage soon reached the ears of ‘W Morrow, American Ambas- 1 r to Mexico. who, it is thought, told Mexico's President of the project. 'v:vhk‘h resulted in the formal Invita- tion. Since the New York-Paris flight, Col. Lindbergh has established himself in a profession ot promoting aeronautics by demonstrating its reliability after reasonable care and precautions are taken. His friends maintain ne lLas no other umbition than to fly “for the | cause™ and they. cannot picture him | settling down to a task that would be prosaic when placed alongside his am- | bitious plans. Col. Lindbergh is supported, finan- cially, in his plans by the Daniel Gus:- genheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, Inc., and it is declared the fund could make no greater invest- ment than to back this young man in his fearless, dignified and benefit-reap- | ing flights. { Prefers Safety to Speed. | The trans-oceanic pilot, it is learned from the same source, has declared a poliey against overwater flying in single engined land planes.

Direct evidence that he intends to adhere to this policy is given in to- | day’'s flight when he clung to the | Gulf coast instead of cutting across water for the saving of a few hours {of_flight. When Col. Lindbergh completes nis fiight to the Mexican capital he will give comsideration to penetrat- ing the Central Amerfcan countries as far as Panama and also to return- ing to the United States by way of Cuba.

Lindbergh left behind his felt hat, a large suit case full of personal effects and a pile of letters and tele- grams which poured into Maj Bur- well’s cottage during the pilot's brief period of residence there. These were taken charge of by Grover C. Loening, prominent aircraft manufacturer and personal friend of the flying colonel, who carried them back to New York last night. i { MIGHTIEST FIGHTING SHIP JOINS U. S.

LINDBERGH, My desire to visit Mexico dates back many years, and the present flight is a natural outgroWth of my t recent tour of the United States. As looked upon as an extension of that | tour to one of our nearest neighbors. When at Kelly Field, the Army train- ing ficld, which is not far from the | border, I often wished that I might | fly over Mexico merely to see the country. It is an interesting coun- try and we know too little about it —at least our communication with it is not so close as with our neigh- bor to the north—Canada. The interest which I felt years ago in Mexico revived during the tour, due partly to some interesting acquaintances [ made at Tucson, Ariz., and El Paso, Tex. There were | a number of Mexican officials and | ;pllou in the gathering which wel-| comed us there, and they were ex-| tremely courteous and expressed the | hope that some time I might be able | to fly to Mexico City. The pilots wefe particularly cordial in their in- vitation, for, as is well known, there is a strong feeling of camaraderie among flying men. When more peo- ple fly this fecling will probably ex- tend to communities. Hopes to Promote Amity. Although my primary interest is to visit the country as an aviator, 1 also hope that the flight will show the way in which aviation brings the people of the world together in bet- ter understanding of each other. There is no doubt that'aviation cap- tures the imagination of all peoples more than anything else at the pres- ent time. It has great potentialities for good. Any flyer winging his way into a strange country seems to bring that country closer to his own. Fundamental emotions, ¢om- mon to all people, are stirred and result in expressions of friendliness. The flights across the Atlantic un- doubtedly did much to bring a better understanding of the people of Amer- fva to.those in Europe. Some day there will be direct communication by air between Europe and Americ: nd {from that closer association may come a distinet improvement in the rela- tionships between the nations of the two continen But planes are not sufficiently eloped for safe transat- lantic flying at present. In the mean- time, why should not air communica- ition be developed between our neigh- bors over here? There is close communieation with Canada; we know Canadians well, and they know us. That is partly due, of course, to similarity of origin, and the aftinity of the same language. But ease of travel which brings this coun- lationship with Canada. Aviation will intensify that relationship, and one air line acrass the border is already being arranged. Miniwizes Flight Dangers. Some of the friendlyl visits which !we pay to Canada—aside from the week end trips, which are, I under stand, quite popular—should be paid to Mexico. And the need for flying communications between Mexico and the United States is much greater than with Canada because railroad facilitles nave not been developed to the South 28 they have to the North, fof obvious reasons. As time goes on, however, there is certain to be a better under- standing and closer communications between Mexico and the United States, and aviation should contribute to that desirable condition. There is no doubt that air lines between the United States and Mexico will be established eventually. This flight should show that such a line would be practical, as indeed, all fiyers know. It is comara. tively simple flight, and there is noth- ng hazardous in it. It is only about 2,000 miles by the route I shall take, and it is all over land. It could be made about 100 miles shorter by flying n few hundred miles over the gulf, but there is no necessity for flying a sin- gle-motored plane over the water on such a trip, and when there is no necessity, there is little sense in at- tempting' it. Single-motored land | planes are pot yet reliableenough for {travel over waiet. When safe over I vater travel is begun, it will be in fiving hoats, unless motors can he de- WILBUR PRESENTS NAVAL PROGRAM Congress Receives Plan Call- ing for Ultimate Cost of $700,000,000.
