Melbourne Wants Next Olympic Games
Australia has just claims for its turn to hold the Olympic Games in 1956, and, judging by the success of its initial efforts, it would seem that the Commonwealth means to enforce those claims in a big way. Formal application has been made and accepted, and as Australia is the British Empires' sole claimant, the British Isles and all the Do- minions will back the claim.
It may be read with some surprise that since the ad- vent of the modern era of the Olympic Games in 1896, there have been only four countries whose representa- tives have attended each Olympiad as contestants.
They are Greece, Great Britain, the United States of America and Australla. And Australia is the only one of this quartette that has yet to be awarded the right hold an Olympiad.
