PARIS, June 2—During the period of uncertainty over the staging of the 1924 Olympic games in Paris, due to the dissatisfaction of the French Olympic committee with the size of the government’s proposed appropria- tion, the American interests represent- ed here are keeping courteously in the background. William Garland of Los Angeles, American member of the international Olympic committee, Who Is here to attend the meeting of the committee next Wednesday. said he would not present the claim of Los Angeles to the games unless the French voluntarily relinquished their rights. Mr. Garland was prepared to assure the committee, he said, that Los Angeles was willlng and able to handle the games even now, but the American attitude is to do nothing to_capitalize the French difficulties. The French Olympic committee so far has stood by its demand for 15,000,000 francs from the government to flnance the games, insisting that the subsidy of 10,000,000 francs offered is insufficient.
