Lind bergh has become one of the most im-, portant and intluentiul government officials, in an unofficial way. He i? serving half a dozen government de partments directly and in advisory ca pacities, and has quaiitied as a super lobbyist and salesman for the idea of commercial aviation, in addition to his “flying ambassadorship.'’ The Departments of State, Com merce, the Post Office, War and Navy have employed his services in the last few months. Dwight Morrow, United States ambassador at Mexico City, is credited with responsibility for the in vitation which resulted in Lindbergh’s nonstop flight To Mexico City, which caused new expressions of good will between the two American republics and led to the flyer’s triumphal tour of South and Central American couu- triea. 1 — j Government Aids Flyer. Lindbergh has appeared before three congressional committees here advocaling bills to provide more pay for military flyers and to provide for extending the congressional frank to the airmail. Practically all of Lindbergh’s activi ties since ids arrival in Paris have been under direct government sanc tion. It was at the government’s re quest that he returned immediately on the cruiser Memphis, instead of fol lowing his original idea of seeing the world X rom u u airplane. The flyer himself disclosed this after his return. The Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics has offi cially sponsored his flights in the United States, but the government has been active through its many agencies in promoting his ventures. The Com merce department provided ati escort plane, mechanic, and secretaries for his nation-wide tour in the “Spirit of St. Louis” in which he visited every state to make speeches in promotion of aviation. : Took Up 1,0S0 in Week. Lindbergh’s recent sightseeing tours for members of congress and diplo mats In Washington, in which he set; a record by transporting more than J.IOO persons in seven days, \Vere ar ranged for by the Commerce depart ment, Assistant Secretary William P. MacCracken, civil aviation'Chief, per-' sonally acting as dispatcher for the flights. The army and the navy each fur nished a huge transport plane for use in this venture, and the army pro vided iieid facilities which virtually stopped their regular military flying for a week. Most of the Washington notables who flew had never before gone up, and the undertaking is re garded by friends of aviation as one of the most effective bits of aviation promotion ever done. All of which goes to show that the „tall young man from Minnesota meant what he said when he announced, after his return to the United States, that his life was dedicated to aviation. It is certain that his realization of his potentialities for the promotion of aviation has turned his entire future activities, for many years at least, into this one channel. He may not make large sums of money, but his friends believe he will accomplish much toward attaining the end be has set for bis goal—tlie further develop ment and increased public support of aviation.
