J apan Stresses Air Route In Seekmg 1940 Olympics By GLENN BABB TOKYO, Nov. 28—Plans to trans- | port a national track and field team | by air one-third of the way around | the world and thereby demonstrate the feasibility of holding the 1940 | Olympic Games in Tokyo are under | development by the athletic auth- orities of Japan and Germany National athletic associations of the two countries already have agreed that a German team of at least 15 stars shall visit the Orient in the autumn of 1934 for meets at Tokyo, Osaka and Changchun, the capital of Manchukuo; but trans- portation is the big problem to be solved Once before, in 1928, a German team invaded Japan, and the ath- letes complained of the difficulty of regaining condition after the long fortnight’s journey by raill across Siberia. In 1934 the Ger- mans may cross the Eurasian Con- tinent by airplane or dirigible. | Three Days by Air the Trans-Siberian Railway. If such a journey is possible in 1934, argue the Japanese in urging other nations to come to Tokyo for the 1940 Olympics, how much easier it should be after aviation has six more years of progress behind it. One of the principal objections of European nations to accepting Tokyo's urgent invitation for 1940 —in which year Japan will be cele- brating the 2600th anniversary of the Empire’s foundation with a big world's fair in the capital—is the long rail journey from Europe to the Far East. To this the only alternatives, except the airways, are the six-week sea voyage through the Suez Canal and the four-week steamer and rail journey across! the Atlantic, North America and the Pacific.
