Morrow, former Morgan was named by President Coolidge to be the American ambas- sador to Mexico.

It was Ambassador Morrow who 4d the trip of Colonel Lind- bergh to Mexico City as the most spectacular way possible to em- | phasize the new diplomacy he was secking to bring about toward Mex ico. The trip was arranged, before the ambassador left Wash- ington, and in flying to Mexico Colonel Lindbergh carrled out promise he had given to the Presi dent and ambassador more than two months previously. Much of Ambassador Morrow's success has hinged upon the fact that he has not isolated himsel? in | the American colony in City, as former done. He has attained terms of inti- mate friendship with President Calles, and the latter has enormous confidence in the ability and aims of the American ambassador. Former American envoys made the startling mistake of disliking the Mexicans, and they did not even attempt to conceal their cantanker- our moods. Ambassador Morrow has done the reveree. He has carried good sentiment and co-operation around with him and has mixed with the officlal circle of the Mex- ican government to as great an ex- tent, than he has heen {dentified with the in fact, Mexico ambassadors have and despising it not more so, American colony.
