New York Bank Reviews Problems

New York, Aug. 31. It is "highly question- able" that the forthcoming Washington conference will furnish a "quick and easy answer" to Britain's dollar shortage, according to the National City Bank of New York.

The Bank said today that the problem involved was fundamentally one which the British must solve for themselves.

The September monthly bank letter of New York's largest commercial bank also asserted that, devaluation of the pound would provide no "lasting solution" to the problem, and pointed out that neither the United States nor Canada were likely to make any more loans or grants to Britain.

The letter said: "The halan- India as far as it applies to chox of payments between the usually reliable United States and Britain bas Pakistan,
