New York, May 31.

THE big parade of American swimmers at Cambridge and New York during the past weeks shows that the United States will offer a formidable threat to recapture world supremacy from Japan at the Tokyo Championships in August and in the 1936 Olympic Games.

Closely contested indeed will be both the Tokyo and Berlin meets, but it É our secret belief and fond hope that the star spangled performers now hold a slight edge.
