Formation of a Committee for Fair Play in Sports with the slogan, “Not one man and not one penny for the Berlin Olympics,” was announced today at a press conference.

Sports should not be mixed with politics, stated M. Jacob, president of the Paris Athletic League, and therefore French sportsmen should not go to Berlin.
