London Banker Criticises Our Reserve Board Allies Had Billions in Gold Credit
At the London City and Midland Bank annual meeting Sir Edward Holden warned that Entente Allies contributed about 212 million pounds of the 232 million pounds of gold in the US by end of 1916 to form loan reserves. He noted UK and allied borrowing total near 423 million pounds and urged clearer arrangements with the Bank of England and France to ease past frictions and to sustain British exchange in America. He contrasted Germany’s gold reserves with Britain's and argued the Allies deserved a larger loan from the US under the 15 percent reserve rule.
