It is to be hoped that the editors will not be accused of having paid exaggerated attention to detail While more than a hundred thousand deeply moved spectators and athletes who had assembled in including, for example, even the apparently unimportant preliminary competitions in this memorial on August 16th, 1936 under the great dome of light in the Olympic Stadium clasped hands and sang publication. They did so realizing that even the last and least prospective participant was inspired the song of Olympic brotherhood, the white flag with its five symbolic rings was slowly lowered by the will to achieve Olympic victory. Baron de Coubertin once said; and the Eleventh Olympic Games came to an end. Everyone who participated in the celebration "The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential of the Berlin Festival was impressed and inspired by this rousing symphony of life, with its joy thing in life is not conquering but fighting well." of competition and magnificent display of youthful strength.

It does not sever, but on the contrary, unites the opponents in mutual understanding and reciprocal respect. It also helps to strengthen the bonds of peace between the nations. May the Olympic Flame therefore never be extinguished.

They are far more a means of using sport as a binding link between the peoples of the world. The Xlth Olympic Games have served this end nobly. Berlin was the meeting place of all peoples, and from there a unity was diffused without which neither peace nor hap­ piness can ever be realized.
