New York Banker Says the Country May Have to Solve Problems Never
 Thought of Before

Chicago, December 16.-Frank A.

 Unless I utterly misjudge affairs,' he said, "state socialism In Europe may de- velop problems, the like of which never concerned our minds. We may have to meet collective buying. state-aided indus- tries, and formse of governmental CO., operation with business quite outside our range of thought"
 Mir. Vanderlip declared he believed the federal reserve board had ruled unwisely In advising aganist investment by mem- Der banks in short term obligations of the belligerent governments.

Such an invest ment would tend to restrict further gold importations, which may lead to danger GUS domestic imitation and would provide credits which would be better than gold when eventually these changes turned against us.''
