I ' llNDlJICIKIH, PKAf K I'KOMOTOIt I ' Before his death, Wood.row Wilson established n Peace lA ward 'and provided for a commission to select those out Mbiiimiiijj bibiifi.iia nuuot. uvuiiijii 10,1 11 n. 11 .n nun iiviii; iiiini. iliromote international peace and give to one, as selected, $25,000 and the 'Peace Award medal. Two men had received ;tho award until this month Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, 03 years of age, in 1924; Elihu Root, 83 years of ago, in 1920. ; ' Now a new award has been vyted by the commission, to r. young man in his twenties, for his contribution to world peace Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh. To him (will be presented the $25,000 prize and the Woodrow Wilson Peace Award ntcdaT. Selclym, if ever, has so great an honor cem'e to so young a man, yot the country is immediately con fident that he will receive it graciously, will do it and its ifntous donor a lasting honor. ( it is doubtful if the uwaixl could have been more popular. Selection of Lindbergh will be f ully approved both here .and jrbroad. v Which shows, probably as conclusively as anything .else; that it is well deserved. The commission might have passed 1928 and decided that ho ono had made a contribu tion to world peace worthy of the award. There was no de imand that Lindbergh be chosen, yet it is doubtful if any imc, including the two previous recipients of the award, has done more for world peace in this present age than Colonel Lindbergh. , .,By being human, by being modest, by being friendly as an American citizen, in ndriitioji to being courageous and mas lerful as an American aviator, Lindbergh has turned tin: thoughts of the world away from petty jealousies and sec i.tional hatreds, has typified an international fellowship and a world citizenship that has appealed to the emotions and lo the intelligence of all people in every civilized country. That is a groatvconlribution to peace.
