The impression is growing in athletic circles that Japan will waive the 1940 Olympic Games in favour of England.
H. F. Pash, a member of the Executive Committee of the Amateur Athletic Association in a speech at Chelmsford, declared the Association was unanimous that if the 1940 Olympian! were held at Tokio, it should not receive that -support of British competitors. This would mean that the l»»'t*ed States and otheis would follow Britain’s lead, It is not a question of politics, but a, matter ol humanity and fair play, and fair play i,s the foundation of sport.
