The third in the series of talks on 'Finance in the Modem World' will be given by an authority as eminent as his predecessors, Sir Henry Strakosch and Mr. J. M. Keynes. Mr. Brand is a director of Lloyds Bank, and he has acted as financial adviser to more than one Government and to Lord Robert Cecil when he was Chairman of the Supreme Economic Council at the Peace Conference in 1919. This evening he will describe the Federal Reserve System, which is the keystone to the whole banking and financial organization of the United States.
