It is doubtful if any modern movement has come in for so much malicious abuse, or has suffered more from misunderstanding, than have the Olympic Games, since their revival rt Athens in 1896.
The whole of such British hostility as still exista is traceable to certain unfortunate incidents which occurred when the Fourth Olympiad was held in London in 1908, Active opposition to the Games, created at that time, has now dwindled to a studied indifference, which is harmful to our national prestige abroad.
