WAR AND NATIONAL FINANCE. 



By the HON. R. H. BRAND, C.M.G., 



FELLOW OF ALL SOULS COLLEGE, OXFORD. 



One volume. Demy 8vo. 155. net. 



This important work consists of a series of articles contributed 

 by the author to The Round Table at intervals during the years 

 1912-1920. They all deal in one way or another with the effects 

 of war on the financial and economic structure of this country 

 and of the British Empire. The reader will judge how far they 

 predicted and correctly portrayed the actual course of events 

 before, during, and after the war. The volume does not afford a 

 continuous commentary on the financial history of the war, 

 because, owing to the author's absence for a year in the United 

 States with the British Mission to Washington and the Imperial 

 Munitions Board of Canada, he was unable to write anything 

 between the end of 1916 and the Armistice. The last two years 

 of the war, however, so far as internal finance went, represented 

 the continued application, on a constantly growing scale, of the 

 principles and methods elaborated in the first two years ; so far 

 as concerned external finance by far the greatest and most 

 serious problem our task was by March, 1917, comparatively 

 simple owing to the entry of the United States on our side. 



The articles written since the Armistice were intended to help 

 towards a practical discussion of actual problems which are still 

 facing us, and require immediate treatment. 



It will be remembered that the author acted for three months 

 at the Peace Conference as Financial Adviser to Lord Robert 

 Cecil, Chairman of the Supreme Economic Council, and that he 

 was Vice-President of the International Financial Conference at 

 Brussels in 1920.

The object of this book is to supply a want from which the 

 author (no doubt in common with many other managers and 

 officials of banks) has often suffered in the course of a long
