Business Situation
In District Bright,
Preston Declares
Says Allies Have Bankers
Full Moral Support; (
Sees Dark World Outlook
BY EDWARD {. STONE,
- Star Staff Correspondent.

HOT SPRINGS Va, June 6.-Ord
Preston, president of the District of
Columbia Bankers Association, in
opening the 22nd annual convention
here today, painted a black picture
of the bewildering ana threatening
international situation, declared the
Allies have the full moral support
of American bankers, and asserted
that this country must be resigned to
further rise in the public debt. At
the same time, he called attention to
bright colors' in the Washington
business situation.
The domestic situation has be-
come clouded by the tragic events
abroad" Mr.. Preston said. I'VE
stand appalled, at the violation of
rights of neutralS by totalitarian ma
tions under the control of dictators
With terrifying speed they have sub
merged government after govern
ment, eight in all Dictators have
dealt stunning blow to democracy
and freedom.
Legally we Americans are neutral,
But emotions are not legislated; con-
science cannot be controlled by law
Out sympathies are strongly with
the Allies. They have our full moral
support
Mindful of Threat.
Turning to the nome situation, Mr.
Preston said the cheering in Con-
gress which greeted President Roose-
velts request for quick action on an
increased defense program, costing
several billion dollars reflected the
support of the country.
I'VE are all mindful of the threat
of Nazi victory. We fully realize
the Importance of doing everything
possible toward building needed de-
fenses,' he declared.
Mr. Preston compared the public
debt "at the staggering level of SAB
000,000,000, with 81 900 900, 900 in 1914,
S3,000,000,000 in 1917 and S170OO,-
100000 in 1929 However, a man.
moth outlay for armament is manda-
tory, meaning a further increase in
the national debt. Already Federal
taxes are at the colossal peace time
level of more than s5,OOO,00OO0O"
Turning to domestic problems,
Mr. Preston declared their solution
must. it now appears, await the
change in great events. More than
100000 Americans are still un-
employed, he said. Many of the
durable goods industries are still
working at unsatisfactory levels, he
added
But capital is plentiful and it
Is essential that the conditions in
our country which have taken away
the incentive for capital to do its
job, as we'll as those legisla tive
acts which have deferred it from

he asserted.
Bank clearings in Washington in

1880 and an increase so far in
1910 of S65 1898, 1893 From these facts
Mr. Preston said, it is obvious that
the banks are in a position to meet

To show the cost of bank oper-
etions. Mr.. Preston reported that

vertising expenditures totaled $12l,-
