I am looking forn-ard to the benefit Holland "'ill receive by taking care of the athletic sport of these Olympic Games, as I recognise much athletic sport has been impro"ed in my o",n country, Belgium, since the Olympic Games were held at Ant«·erp. Unfortunately, in some of our countries, the.lo\'e of athletics is not great enough, because people are more "'hat ",;e call spectators. of s[lort, but the\' ought to understand that amongst all sport athletics are the be;!. There . is yet another link bel1X'een the I. O.

MINUTES OF TIrE TENTH CONGRESS of the International Amateur Athletic Federation held in the "Herrenhaus", Berlin, the 20th and 21st of May, 1930.

Tuesday, May 20th, at 10 a.m.

) SECTION 1.

Reception of the Delegates to the Congress by the German Authorities.

Excellence Dr. Th. Lewald, President of the "Deutscher Reichsausschuss flir Leibeslibungen" and the German Olympic Committee. opened the Congress by bidding the Delegates welcome saying that it was a great honour and pleasure to the D.R.L. and the German Olympic Committee that the Congress of the International Amateur Athletic Federation would now be held in Berlin. the same city where 17 years ago this important Federation had been definitely founded. During this time sad happenings had taken place in the world which had interrupted also the relations between the sporting peonle of the various nations, but he felt that this was now past. He knew that the I.A.A.F. had the whole time proceeded with its work which aimed at bringing up the youths not only physically strong but also with high. . ideals. He thanked the Federation for the grand work it had done during its existence and congratulated it on having wisely chosen as its leader a man whose name was kno,vn, respected and beloved by the whole sporting world. Under his eminent leadership the I.A.A.F. had succeded in working out complete rules which regulate the athletic sports the vfllole world over. Dr. Lewald finally expressed the hope that this Congress would contribute to the further progress of the I.A.A.F. under its distinguished leader, President Edstrom, and his able assistants.
