BANQUET HALL PACKED WITH
GUESTS; NUMBER OF AD
DRESSES MADE
That Seward is becoming an
international port of call, so to
speak, was again evidenced Sat
urday evening, in the Seward
Grill, where a public reception,
banquet and dance were tender
ed the Russian aviators who ar
rived the day previous in their
big monoplane "Land of Soviet.’’
The cordial reception to the
daring fliers—the first impress
ion of America—by the people of
Seward undoubtedly reached the
hearts of the visitors for upon
every occasion they expressed
their sincere appreciation of the
favors and honor accorded them.
The reception, given under
the auspices of the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce, was entirely
successful in every way which
was testified by the capacity
filled banqueting tables before
which were seated charming and
becomingly gowmed women and

J ' "COl’tS.
eon Urbach, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, presided
over the banquet and called first
upon His Honor, Mayor P. C. Me
Mullen to officially welcome the
Soviet fliers to Seward and the
United States.
“It is a pleasure to welcome
to Seward these men,” the May
or began,” and we are all pleas
ed that this city was in the
line of their flight. I have never
had the privilege before of ad
dressing anyone who could not
understand what I was saying
but through the kindness of the
interpreter I trust they will un
derstand.
“There are many pioneers at
this table tonight and it is this
class which has brought Alaska
to what it is today. These pio
neers, however, are different.
Ours climbed the hills and moun
ains constantly seeking the elu
sive. Now we look forward to
the air pioneer; men of ability
and grit!
“We have had the pleasure of
welcoming American fliers and
now the pleasure of greeting
these men. We wish them suc
cess. Pioneering is their mission
and Seward wishes them a good
trip.”
Mr. Urbach then called upon
L. V. Ray to address the gather
ing. Mr. Ray’s speech is pub
lished in another column of this
issue.
Chief Pilot Shestakox then
rose and speaking in Russian,
Nick Morotoff interpreting, ex
pressed his and his companions
sincere appreciation of the kind
ness which has greeted their ar
rival in this, their first real con
tact with America.
“Ever since I was a boy I \
have heard nice things of this
country and I have always had
the desire to come to Amtrica.
“Since arriving here I have
found my early day impressions
to be true and that America is
indeed a wonderful land- I hope
that within a few years plane
traffic between Russian and this
country wlil be a reality.”
Navigator Sterligof spoke next
saying “This trip is not one of
endeavoring to establish a record
but it is the first long-distance
flight of the Soviet Republic and
is being made for the purpose of
establishing a closer bond of
relationship and understanding
between the two nations.”
Second Pilo Bolotof stated that
their plane was the largest of its
type ever built by the Soviet
and that all of its equipment had
been cnostructed by Soviet engin
eers. “The Soviet Union is de
sirous that Russia and Amer
ica be friends forever.”
