London, Oct. 27.
Japan will be hard hit by the New Beard of Trade order prohibiting the inport of silver into Britain without government license, financial quarters aid today.
Informed quarters said the Government silver import licenses would be "readily granted to countries in the sterling area, but it is doubtful to what extent they will be available to other nations."
Worthy of note is the fact that Japan, the heaviest shipper of silver to England in the first eight months of 1939, is no longer a member of the sterling bloc.—United Press.
