arrangements. Experienced Ameri-

British Delegation To Consult With Experts
Before Meeting Roosevelt On Debt Problem

LONDON, Feb. 22.-(/P)-Before a
British government delegation sets
sail for America to discuss the war
debts problem with President Roose-
velt, the members will consult, not
only with Montague Norman, Gover-
nor of the Bank of England, but also
with the money masters of the little
island.
The money masters are very few
in number and are all in London-
chairman of the "Big Five." This
term probably means very little to
Americans, but everybody in Great
Britain understands it. The "Big
Five" are the five huge banking in-
-1itutions which tower over all the
rest of the banks of the country.
There are, of course, other banks,
which have deposits which would be

considered big in any country, but
they are not in the same class with
the "Big Five."
The total deposits for the "Big
Five," reckoning the pound sterlingS
at par, reach $;,598,799,731. This is
about one-half the amount deposited
in the 6,150 national banks in the
United States and about four times
the deposits with the Federal Reserve
Banks.
There is nothing in the United
States, not even the Federal Reserve
bank and its branches, even approx-
imating to the "Big Five." They cover
England and Wales like a glove.,
Some even extend their operation-.
into Scotland and North Ireland.
Perhaps the most remarkable of

the five money masters, whom the
government delegation will consult, is
Reginald McKenna, chairman of the
Midland bank. He is 70, practiced at
the bar, became one of the leading
politicians of the liberal party and
successively held cabinet posts of
President of the Board of Education,
First Lord of the Admiralty, Home
Secretary and finally, Chancellor of
the Exchequer during the crucial war
years of 1915-16. As such, he intro-
duced the great war loan of 1915. Hi
budget, introduced in the House of
Commons in September, 1915, wa:;
hailed as a masterly attempt to deal
with the unusual financial cbnditions
arising out of the war. Since he be-
c ame head of the bank, he has , r-
