In October, 1926, Governor Emile Moreau <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank <strong>of</strong> France sent his<br />

closest collaborator to London to explore <strong>the</strong> intentions <strong>of</strong> Montagu Norman,<br />

Governor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank <strong>of</strong> England. Pierre Quesnay, <strong>the</strong>n general manager <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank <strong>of</strong> France 1926-30, and Bank for International Settlements 1930-37,<br />

brought back a report which was recorded by Moreau:<br />

"Quesnay also gives me interesting views about <strong>the</strong> ambitions <strong>of</strong> Montagu<br />

Norman and <strong>the</strong> group <strong>of</strong> financiers who surround him: Sir Otto Niemeyer, Sir<br />

Arthur Salter, Sir Henry Strakosch, Sir Robert Kindersley <strong>the</strong>y are striving to<br />

make London <strong>the</strong> great international financial centre. But those close to<br />

Norman state this is not his objective ... he wants more than anything else to<br />

witness <strong>the</strong> setting up <strong>of</strong> links between <strong>the</strong> various banks <strong>of</strong> issue ...<br />

The economic and financial organization <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world appears to <strong>the</strong><br />

Governor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank <strong>of</strong> England to be <strong>the</strong> major task <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Twentieth<br />

Century. In his view politicians and political institutions are in no fit state to<br />

direct with <strong>the</strong> necessary <strong>com</strong>petence and continuity this task <strong>of</strong> organization<br />

which he would like to see undertaken by central banks, independent at once<br />

<strong>of</strong> governments and <strong>of</strong> private finance.<br />

Hence his campaign in favour <strong>of</strong> <strong>com</strong>pletely autonomous central banks,<br />

dominating <strong>the</strong>ir own financial markets and deriving <strong>the</strong>ir power from<br />

<strong>com</strong>mon agreement among <strong>the</strong>mselves. They would succeed in taking out <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> political realm those problems which are essential for <strong>the</strong> development<br />

and prosperity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> national financial security, distribution <strong>of</strong> credit,<br />

movement <strong>of</strong> prices. They would thus prevent internal political struggles from<br />

harming <strong>the</strong> wealth and <strong>the</strong> economic advancement <strong>of</strong> nations."<br />

In short, Norman wished to see <strong>the</strong> imposition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

World Order over <strong>the</strong> financial affairs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nations. It<br />

was this agreement among <strong>the</strong> central banks, ra<strong>the</strong>r than<br />

<strong>the</strong> front organization, <strong>the</strong> League <strong>of</strong> Nations, which<br />

became <strong>the</strong>ir final instrument <strong>of</strong> power. Crucial to <strong>the</strong>se<br />

arrangements was <strong>the</strong> monetarist school, <strong>the</strong> Austrian<br />

School <strong>of</strong> Economics, an outgrowth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pan-Europe<br />

movement.
