fidence i« “the precious relation
ship of auiity that has existed be
tween the United States and Rus
sia since the sixties," was express
ed tty the Soviet Ambassador Trn
anovsk.v, at the unveiling liy the
Department of the Interior of a
picture portraying the signing of
rile treaty by which the United
States acquired Alaska.
"Russia may have made a had
bargain when she sold Alaska to
you so cheaply, but I do not speak
of it now with .regret. I predict
an airplane route in the very
near future providing quick con
nections between Europe and the
American continent by way of the
Arctic, which I believe “Will even
tually be of great -economic im
portance to Alaska and the Sib
leriari Northeast. The time is
coming when Alaska will be aa
important stopping point for air
plane lines connecting your Pacific
and Atlantic coasts with Kurope.
by way - of the- Arctic.
"This will he a direct route, a
short lino, by which the distance
between. Nome and Stockholm will
he reduced to two thousand miles;
perhaps only a half-day flying
tinte."
It Is undoubtedly the opinion of
Ambassador Troanovsky that Nome
«
will serve as one of the great ter
initial points for trans-Arct’" air
plane travel between the American
continent and Asia and between
America and those countries ac
ross the pole. Air travel through
the Arctic is not very far away
ami it hcs only been through ths
porsistaflt efforts of !hn-e con-ieet
ei with the Indus! ry and, tho-.
people ..who are looking ahead, that
Nome is even now mentioned.
