HERRICK EARNED VACATION AT HOME U. §. Ambassador With Lind-| Dbergh in Paris BY MINOTT SAUNDE! Minott Saunders learned the nowspaper game in the Herald office and is a former New Brit- ainite. At present he is foreign correspondent for the N. E. A and the United Press. The Her- ald subscribes to both thesc services—Ed. Paris, June 24—Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador to I'rance, has gone home for a rest, ‘Without question he has earned one. If Lindbergh was the greatest “un- oificial ambassador” ever to come to France from America, the brilliant part Herrick played in he thrilling Lindbergh drama stampel him in- | delibly as a worthy claimant to the title of the greatest official one. His part was one of master diplo- macy. Every diplomat in Europe recognizes that fact. Seized a Big Chance He turped French enthus lindbergh and Lindbergh's loitely flight to such an improvement in Franco-Amevican relations that the two peoples now find themselves 1alking of a treaty of perpetual peace. Lindbergh came when, in the am- hassador's own words, “the skies were dark and growing dagker; un- fortunately America’s presfige here had suffered increasingly during the past two ycars, and we at the em- hassy were worried.” Out of such dark skies Lindbergh landed. There was the now historic =tampede of tens of thousands of persons who were awaiting him. Police and troops were swept aside. Iron fences were flattencd. Only th guick wit of fine-spirited French fly- ing men saved “Lindy” from being mobbed. They secreted him in a hangar. ‘The Psychological Moment Then in the second-story window of the control office of the field, in the glarc of high-powersd motion picture lights, appearcd the figure of Ambassador Hurrick. He had been waiting for lhours. The sight of him inspired cheering. Enthusiasm for the and for America became one. This feeling grew in succeeding aays like Jack's fabled beanstalk. Not an opportunity was lost by Her- rick to cuitivate it.

The Columbia, in which he and Levine crossed the Atlantic, could fly from New York to Buenos Aires with a single stop, and a new Bel- lanca plane now under construction could make the trip without a stop, he said. It the flight were undertaken as a | stunt, the route followed probably | would be in a direct line across the | wilds of interior Brazil. but if it | were intended to blaze a trail for commercial aviation, the probable | value to | Panama, down the jacross the Andes | Northern Chile, he said. ‘ll'm’e productive route i commercial standpoint would be |along the castern coast, he added.
