Financial diplomacy was vital to Britain during the Second World
War. Over half the British war effort was sustained by US
Lend-Lease assistance and Canadian Mutual Aid. In 1945 the country
emerged victorious in the greatest war in history but economically
drained. These contradictory circumstances faced the new Labour
government. It was clear that economic adjustment to peacetime
would require further American and Canadian finance. This book
contains the diary of Frederic Harmer, aide to John Maynard Keynes
during discussions in Washington that led to an American loan. It
also includes the reports and evaluations from Washington of Robert
Brand, head of the Treasury team at the British Embassy, the
British debates on how to secure US and Canadian financial
assistance, the American loan talks in 1945 and the pursuit of a
Canadian loan in 1946. These two sources vividly convey thinking
about priorities and tactics in British financial diplomacy.
