Embargo Eased

One swallow does not make a summer. One plane does not make an airforce. Nevertheless, the approval of the U. S. State Department, given last week, to the purchase by Mexico of a Ford-Stout all-metal monoplane like the one in which Mrs. Lindbergh, Engineer William B. Stout & Mrs. Stout & friends flew from Detroit to Mexico City, was welcomed in Mexico and discussed in Washington as the harbinger of a general lifting by the State Department of the embargo on U. S. planes sold to Mexico. In approving purchase of the single plane, which the Mexican government said it wanted for official inspection tours, the State Department said it would review the whole plane and arms & ammunition embargoes.
