JAPAN CANCELS PLANS FOR THE 1940 MEETING

FINLAND IS SAID TO BE READY TO TAKE OVER

Although no official announcement to this effect has been made, it is almost certain that Japan will relinquish her right to organise the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1940.

Members of the International Olympic Committee are not sur- prised. They recall that at the meeting of the Committee at Cairo it was pointed out to the Japanese delegate that participation of other nations depended on Japan giving, before the end of the summer of 1938, a guarantee that the Games would in fact take place as scheduled.

Helsingfors has been suggested as the most likely place for the Games to be held in 1940. It is also stated that should Finland refuse to take over the Games at such short notice the Olympic Committee might address an invitation to England to do so.

Immediately after the Berlin Olympiad, the Finland Government had declared its rendiness to organise the next meeting in the event of Japan Binding herself unable to do so, on condition that (1) official mandate was given to Finland by the Inter- national Olympic Committee before Ocober 1, 1948, and (2) in this case an obligatory programme of garnes should alone be carried out and no optional competitions admitted,
