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.
