Philippines Ought To Apologise To China

CURT COMMENT BY MANILA PAPER ON OLYMPICS DISRUPTION".

The Far Eastern Olympics of 1934 has ended in disruption. The dissolving of the original For Eastern Athletic Association, and the formation by Japan and the Philippines of a so-called Amateur Athletic Association of the Orient, has been followed by China's intimation to refuse to participate under such a body.

The Chinese delegation in Manila, in a note to Nanking allege that political influence was brought to bear by Japan regarding the formation of a new Association, with the object of securing Manchukuo's admission.

The Manila Bulletin, in a curtly worded editorial, condemns the Philippines representatives for allowing themselves to be a party to "such a shabby procedure", as bowing China out of the picture, and suggests that the least the Philippines can do is to tender a profound apology to Chins.
