During the Great War the task of administering the affairs of the branches of enemy banks in Britain was entrusted to an accountant, Sir William Plender. This paper considers his performance, in view of the public criticisms made of it in 1916 by Lord Northcliffe. It argues that the criticisms are ill-founded. However, in 1916, the war was going badly for the Allies. Many thought a change of government was needed. Press attacks, such as that described, played a decisive part in achieving this change, which was crucial to the war's outcome. The attack on Plender thus made a significant contribution to the Allied victory.
