...success becokes a matter of real national prestige. For too many countries national prestige no longer is based on honesty and sportsmanship, and these countries carry their ideas of prestige into athletics where honesty and sportsmanship reign supreme. Hitler's treatment of negro and Jewish athletes and the bitter quarrels about the judging are too fresh in mind for this point to need further proof.
