DISTRICT BANKERS
PUSH CONVENTION
Many Government Officials
Are Guests at Dinner
at Country Club.
By EDWARD C. STONE.

BY EDWARD c. STONE.
With a record attendance Of more
than 225 bankers and their guests
the members of the District Bankers
Association held their pre-convention
dinner at the Columbia Country Club
last evening and pushed forward
plans for the annual conclave to be
held at Hot Springs, Va. in June.
General Chairman T. Stanley Hol-
land declared that the goth annual
gathering will be the best yet and
outlined the various attractions that
will draw the flnanciers to the Home
stead for the four-day session. The
outlook for an unusually large at
tendance is unusually bright, Mr. Hol-
land asserted.
Many high Government officials
were among the special guests at the
dinner. Chairman Mariner S. Eccles
OF the Federal Reserve Board had
hoped to be present and make a few
remarks. In his absence President
Thomas J. Groom called upon former
Gov. Cary A. Hardee of Florida, who is
now bank receiver, to pinch hit
for the Reserve Board chief.
This he did most acceptably. He
asked the bankers to give him credit
Tor anything he might say that they
approved. Should he say anything
they did not like, those remarks
should be charged to Gov Eccles.
he suggested. Mr.. Hardee congratu-
lated the controller of the currency
on his splendid judgment in his Sc
lection of bank receivers" and said
other things that caused much
laughter.
Golf Prizes Awarded.

Dinner Committee, announced the
golf winners who captured special
honors during the afternoon. w. w.
Spald won the Robert " Fleming Cup.

talnment following the dinner. Presi-

Widest Variety
of Foods Offered

I counted in one medium-sized
delicateSsen 40 varieties of cold
eggs, so Of cold fish, and so more
kinds of odd horS d'oeuvres priced
for the average Czech pocketbook.
The CzechS are masters of ma
chine-guns and mayonnaiSe, beer,
boots and smoked meats.
No city can rival Prague's ham,
sauSages. and barbecue. In one
of the biggest "automatS," which
resemble closely our cafeterias,
there is huge bowl of boiling oil
which bubbles night and day.
Around it are stacked a dozen
kinds of Sausages ready to be

Refugees Troubles
Impress Czechs

The evidence is in the shape
of refugees from Nazi Germany
and more recently from Austria.
No European city in the world has
so wretched and pitiful section
of population as Prague with its
emigrees. The poorest of them
occupy whole village of barracks
where they live like dogs in ken
nelS.
All day long they came to see
me in my hotel. Their miseries
seemd to climax with a note I re-
ceiVed one day from an Austrian
refugee reading: Excuse me
please that I cannot keep my ap-
pointment with you; my wife died
of heart failure last night upon
receipt of the information from
Vienna that her mother there had
committed suicide"
The Czechs have had five years
of this sort of experience. They

been servants of the Germans

tend to be their servants again."
exclaimed a Czech manufac-
turer to me.
The Czechs will not submit,
even if they have to suffer the
fate of Serbia. This is one of the
things that can only be eStab-
lished by personal observation
and eyewitness judgment. Pre-
viouS to my visit to Czechoslo-
Vakia during the crisis, I was in
clined to doubt that a nation of
is 100000, including 100000 po-
litically unreliable Germans, could
have the courage to stand up to
a nation of 73,000,00 especially
after the example of Austria.
I am now convinced that the
CzechS mean what they say when
they declare that they will fight
to the last rather than lose their
statehood to Germany,
The Washington times., 1938-07-28

Hence any attack by Germany
upon Czechoslovakia means
world war.
This is the story of Central
Europe in nutshell. If it is
realized in Berlin there may
not be any war over Czechoslo-
vakia. If it is not realized in
Berlin, war over Czechoslo-
vakia appears unavoidable.
While the Sudeten German
delegates negotiate with Prime
Minister Hodza for autonomy"
as the first step toward annexa-
ton by the Reich, visitors from
Germany continue to brave the
hostile atmosphere here in order
to get bite of Czech food. They
can only take abroad ten marks,
about $3.50, but they can buy in
Germany tickets to Prague or else
where and return, so their ten
marks can all be spent on food.
The Sudeten Germans, so anx-
iouS to become a part of the Third
Reich, do not seem to have paid
attention to the example of
Austria, where the standard of
living sank to the German stand
ard within a few weeks after the
conquest. Because more and more
money has to be found for Ger
many's ornaments, the AustrianS
were naturally called upon to
sacrifice as the Germans have
sacrificed butter, whipped cream,
fresh fruit an vegetables and all
they stand for.
But this has not escaped the
attention of the CzechS. For ma
terial as well as patriotic and
moral reasons they do not intend
to be absorbed by the Reich.
Prague's food stores exercise a
seditious influence upon visitors
from the Reich. "Mein Gott,"
heard from one German as he
and his family walked down the
Wenzel Square, "look at those
delicatessen!"
Not in any city in the world
have I ever seen their equal. Rang
ing in size from halls where 500
can eat, down to exclusive shops
where a dozen customers would
make a crowd, they all boast a
variety and quality of food hardly
to be equalled.
The Washington times., 1938-07-28

the food shops used to look in
{ ermany before the war. I can
testify that they look somewhat
like the shops in Berlin during the
best years of the Weimar republic.
Czechoslovakia by some curious
trick, probably democratic, has
managed to have both guns and
butter. Far more important is
the fact that throughout all her
troubles, Czechoslovakia, alone
among the powers of central
Europe, has kept her civil liberties.
No one who has not done with
out it can know what civil liberty
means. The best contrast is to
view the movements and utter
ances of Henlein, leader of the
German opposition to the Prague
government. He is permitted to
