In 1934, [[Jacob Viner]], a professor at the [[University of Chicago]] working at the [[U.S. Treasury Department]], wrote to White offering him a job in the US Treasury.  In his early years White concentrated on the relationship that gold and silver had to currency management. He also became an expert on Japanese and Chinese monetary policy. As early as 1935 White agreed to pass on Treasury documents for [[Whitaker Chambers]] to photograph and return.

In the latter half of the thirties met with [[John Maynard Keynes]] and other leading economists. After Japanese attack on [[Pearl Harbor]], Treasury Secretary [[Henry Morgenthau]] gave White the responsibility to "take supervision over and assume full responsibility for Treasury's participation in all economic and financial matters...in connection with the operation of the Army and Navy and the civilian affairs in the foreign areas in which our armed forces are operating or are likely to operate."

Philosophically, White was a Keynesian [[New Deal]]er. As a dedicated [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt|Rooseveltian]] internationalist his energies were directed at continuing the Grand Alliance and maintaining peace through a liberal trade regime. He believed that powerful multilateral institutions could avoid the mistakes of Versailles and prevent another worldwide depression.
