London,
If you value freedom of speech, thought and action, stop bleating about Bri- tain's decadence in the world of sport. During the World Cup series in Switzerland I made many Inquiries about the rest of the world's remarkable advance, and I shudder to think that the state of affairs which created Zatopek, gave Russia three Henley rowing triumphs and made Hungary the smoothest-moving, high-geared foot- ball machine of all time would ever be tolerated in this country.
We, too, could regain lost prestige if, among other things, we favoured the ex- ploitation of National Service as a medium for gaining distinction in international
sport.
