Davis Speaker John W. Davis, former ambassador to Great Britain, In an address ex. plained that Lindbergh was selecteo as a recipient of the award, not as a victorious soldier, nor as a successful diplomant or statesman, nor as a not. ed poet or orator, but as "a mere individual" who had the great fortune to serve peace in most effective ways. The presentation was made at a din. national peace is as much a personal as a national responsibility, Mr. Davis said. Suggesting that the preservation ot peace had been regarded as too en. tirely the tunctlon of governments anu officials, he said that Lindbergh has made International friendship a person ai thing, and proved by his flights to Paris and Latin-America that "Ameri ca was not a far off country, but ? near neighbor of Europe; that cour. age and high adventure were still dear to the American heart; that great risks would be taken and great deeds ftyne without thpughj of personal reward or financial gMn, and without boasting over the results.

"By exposing his life under our ikies, almost always placid, but at :imes, Jike onr souls agitated and i itormy," Ambassador Ferrara said, 'Colonel Lindbergh proved to the rea. iy intuition of the masses of the peo. tie that the United States have not ihut themselves up within the for. nldable tower of their greatness.' Massages from Governor Alfred L Smith, Dwight Morrow, American , imbassador to Mexico, and Manuel 1. Telle*, Mexican Ambassador to the j Tutted States, were read. i COL. CHARLES A.
