strian Olympic committee, says.

the war has written “finis” to the
Olympic games. as the world knows
them, :
Recalling that the 1944. games
have ‘been allotted to London, the
42-year-old Olympic chef du proto-
col said in an interview that “there
‘is of course very little hope the
games could be held even in. the:
event of peace.”

“TJ do not think there will be: the
necessary peace spirit in all. na-
tions, if there are. some. nations
left,” he said, and added that “even
the continuation | of the Olympic
games as we know them is extremely
doubtful because the world will be
so changed.”

For one thing, he said, the na-
| tionalist spirit—triendly but neces-_
sary—upon which the games were.
built, might be nonexistent in me
post-war world. —

He suggested. that there was a
possibility, however, that’ the peace
treaty makers, recognizing the im-|
portance of sports in fostering
peace, might include in the treaties
provisions for a series of interna-
‘tional contests patterned: roughly
after the Olympic model.
