Y., Septem- ber 24—Dr. Godfrey Dewey, chairman of the. Olympic Winter Games Committee, declares it would be impossible to postpone the 1932 Olympic games at Lake Placid and Los Angeles, as has been suggested in Swedish sporting circles, because of the conditions imposed by the charter and protocol of the Olympic games. Dr. Dewey quoted the following para- from ths charter in explanation: “An Olympiad need not be celebrated, but neither the order nor the intervals can be altered. “This means we must either hold the games in 1932 as planned, or drop them entirely,” Dr. Dewey said. ‘“The United States would lose all present rights to the games if they were dropped and could not seek them again until 1940, since the 1936 games already have beencawarded to Germany. “Since the present games were first held in 1896, there has been no devia- tion from the four-year cycle except in 1916, when the world was at war. I do not believe the International Commit- tee will depart from this precedent now. ‘I believe the .participating 'countries, notwithstanding the present depression, will send the best teams here next year that it is possible for them to muster in the face of these circumstances, rather than \mn( about a cancellation of the game STOCKHOLM, September 24 (; An opinion that the 1932 O games at Lake Placid and Los should be postponed because of the financial depression has been expressed in Swedish sporting circles.
