More power to them, say we. even though It Is admitted some of this stimulation comes as the out growth of an "article sponsored by Alan Gould . . . (and which) has for its basis an Interview with Av ery Brundage of Chicago," president of the American Olympic committee. Mr. Brundage, through this ex clusive "tartlcle." sounded a very plain warning as to the condition of the Olympic financial resources, emphasizing that the American Olympic committee will not spend money it doesn't collect, "even If It .4 own,? use tobacco that's rolling J for 50 cigarettes means we cannot raise Enough money to send more than half 4 doewn ath letes to Los Angeles." To this pessimism, the Olympian, houso organ of the powerful Olyta plo club of flan Francisco, objects and accuses Mx. Brundage of "hol lerln' before you're hit." It neglects to recognize, however, that a num ber of blows already have been struck, financially speaking, juut that the Chicago business man sum. ply rose up. qulto properly, to face tho facts .before it Is too late. Ho seemA to have accomplished his purpose, for, having taken this fling, the Olympian rallies to the cause. , . RALLYING 4!EY "Callfornlans will not, ntuet not, permit this failure,' says the Olym. plan's editorial. "In several great emergencies she has brought gold Into almost empty ' coffers at tho eleventh hour. When has there ever been a drive for the Oonurwnity Chest, . when, pessimism has not foretold failure, only to find It filled sometimes during the very last days of a determined drive? "Distance and the great cost of transportation may in some degree lessen the volume of -attendance and reduce the number of contest ants,, hut neither deterring power can make the tenth Olympiad at Los Angeles the comically puny show of half a dozenathletes as ex pressed In the back-down, speech of President Brundage. "The far west will not permit tho intrusion of such a calamity. Wo of the Pacific .states will not permit . it, San Francisco will not permit It, and who believes that our wonderful sister city of Los An geles will other than laugh at the merest suggestion that she will permit it either? "T j-ic AntrolnB ns t.VlA TMllunir rn eratlon has already established, has made wilder predictions, thrown more bluffs, fulfilled more extrava gant prophecies than any other city of the United States, and she has not yet recorded a single failure. "Such ceaseless enterprise . as this Is going to redouble Itself In the face even of the destroying predictions touched upon, . . So go to It, Los Angeles I You never failed yet and such a tragedy is not In the cards now." ,).. w.a 'HOLLER "AGAIN Perhaps a little more "hotlerin"' by the aforesaid Mi-. Brundage of Chicago will help stimulate the cur rent drives for Olympic funds in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, as well as his home town. Presumably even the Olympian would "permit" that. I 1
