Japan May Lose Olympic Chance
The Associated Press reports that Japan’s military uprising and political upheaval threaten Tokyo’s bid to host the 1940 Olympic Games. Count Henri Baillet Latour of Belgium arrives in New York to assess Japan’s preparations for winter and summer events, with a Berlin-IC decision expected later and Helsinki’s Finland bid rivaling Tokyo’s. The piece notes possible links to Oslo and New York’s WW F plan, while mentioning wider opposition to long travel and the war’s impact on sports.
