THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE [To the Editor of THE SrEc-r.vroa.]

• SIR,—I am very jealous of the good name of the above Com- mittee and of everything connected with the Olympic Games, which they control, and therefore I hope you will forgive me for inquiring of you what " Janus " means to imply by the word " intended " in the last sentence of the sixth paragraph on page 386 of the March Gth issue of The Spectator—i.e., "It is clear that the Garmisch meeting was intended to serve other ends than sport."—Yours truly,

[There was, of course, no thought of attributing the " intention " in question to the International Olympic Committee. The suggestion was that the Nazi propagandists were turning the Garmisch meeting to good account.-L-En; The Spectator.]
