ADDRESS

Flyer Praises japanese
For Hospitality And
Assistance.
TALK BROADCAST
Speech Of Flyer Heard
Throughout Empire
And In United States.

NEW YORK, Aug. %. U.1 Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh was heard by
trans-Pacific radio in America to-
day as he responded to speeches by
japanese officials and ministers of
the government, at a welcome din
ner in Toxic.
Colonel Lindbergh expressed the
gratitude of himself and his wife at
the reception given them in Japan,
saying that "the true character of
Japan was most impressed upon us
when we landed in the fog in the
heart of your country. We were I'M
known We spoke strange Ian
Ruage. They came out in the rain
to assist us, and took us to a vii
lage for dinner of rice. We have
spent only two days in Toxic since
we first entered your country. Were
we to leave tomorrow, we would take
with us from Japan the experiences
worth many times the efforts Of
the flight"
The speech was rebroadcast in
the United States by the National
and Columbia broadcasting COM
panies.
The colonel spoke of the advances
made by aviation and radio "as an
indication of what will be done be-
fore the century is over
With the advance of radio and
aircraft" he said. 1.-The mystery OF
distance can no longer exist. Va
are interested in many of the same
things and confronted by similar
problems. The ideas which we have
inherited from past ages become
significant when we look at people
from the sky and speak to distant
people through the radio"
We used to look upon a distant
country as being of no concern to
us. There are no longer distant
countries. The distances of past
ages have become less significant
TO us today. The distances of today
will become just as insignificant in
the years of future generations.
Praises Mrs. Lindbergh
Colonel Lindbergh was introduced
by w Cameron Forbes, the Ameri-
can ambassador to Japan, who paid
high tribute to the aviator and his
wife for their achievement.
He was preceded by Matajiro Koi-
zumi, minister of communications,
General Giro Minomi, minister of
war, and Admiral Kiyokazu Abo,
minister of the navy
The latter said that Colonel Lind
bergh and his wife had mot dis
appointed the finest expectations Of
the Japanese people" in their re-
markable flight across the top OF
the world to Japan. He hailed the
flight as introducing a new era in
relations between the United States
and his country, and especially
complimented Mrs. Lindbergh for
her work as radio operator.
The reception and dinner, which
took place at the Imperial hotel in
Toxic, was given the Lindberghs by
officials of the japanese govern
mcnt, and the army and navy. 1t
was broadcast in Japan by station
JOAK of the Japanese broadcasting
company and by short wave across
the Pacific to America, where it was
picked up by the United States

Don Moyle, Los Angeles jail or
glory" flyer, today set the takeoff
of his projected flight across the
Pacific ocean for next Tuesday
morning provided tests shows his
remodeled airplane is satisfactory.
Facing a Jail term in Los An
geles If he succeeds in spanning
the Pacific to Seattle, Moyle and
C. A. Allen, his companion on the
venture, have applied to the Japan
csc aviation bureau for permit.
A test flight will be made Sum
day in the plane, City of Tacoma
II, before air authorities and they
promised to issue the permit If they
believe the ship has fair chance
to make the trip.
The airmen, seeking a S25 1000
prize offered by the Asahi news
papers for the first nonstop flight
between America and Japan, have
made extensive changes in their
plane. The City of Tacoma II was
used by 1t. Harold Bromley and
Thomas Ash, Jr., in unsuccessful
attempts to make the same flight.
Both pronounced it unequal to the
feat.
Moyle is scheduled to surrender
at the Los Angeles county jail Sep
tember | to serve 30 day sentence
for driving while intoxicated. 1t
was not determined whether his in
ability to reach the Jail by that
time would complicate the case
against him.

weeks ago he said. IF l make it, I
go to jail. If l don't, we'll there's
