Benjamin Strong became the first governor of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York in 1914, having been the joint nominee of Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb. According to Quigley, Strong met with Montagu Norman, the governor of the Bank of England, and at once made an agreement to work in cooperation for the financial practices they both revered.

Quigley claims that they were determined to use the financial power of Britain and of the United States to force all the major countries of the world to go on the gold standard, and that it would be operated through central banks, free from all political control. Without interference from any government, they planned to deal with all questions of international finance (p. 326). Quigley points out that “the Apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks, which were themselves private corporations (p. 324).”
