NO POLITICS
The International Olympic Federa- Lion, too, bos satisfied itself that politics will not be injected into the games, and it is mainly on the Federation's recommendation that twenty-one nations have signingd their intention of participating.
Since in practically every case the decision for or against participation was taken by the national athletic body or bodies, none of the twenty. one nations can be said to have been influenced by its government's policy, In this way politics have been, and will be, studiously avoidell.—United Press.
