Washington, Dec. 6.

American officials estimate Hongkong, Singapore "and the surrounding area”, are likely to loro US$9.3 mil- lion business a year as a result of Washington's new order to and foreign aid procurement in 19 countries considered to be financially strong.

This was said to be the amount spent in Hongkong, Singapore and zurrounding areas last year by nations receiving aid during the financial year which ended last June,

Ometals.could not give a more detailed breakdown for this

area,

Japan stands to lose the most business, however -- US$115.8 pillion. West Germany will lose about $70.5 million and the UK $64,5 million.

LAST YEAR

These are all based on dollar amounts spent by nations re- ceiving aid in the last fiscal year.

The Washington order, issued on Monday, means that goods and scrvlees earmarked for under-developed, countries under the foreign aid programme ad- ministered by the International Co-operation Administration must be purchased elsewhere,

The hope was expressed that the result would be increased procurement in the US, the re- -duction-of-the-balance-of-day---
