World Oil Crises Spurs A Wave Of “Me-too-ism” Among Japanese
By JOHN RODERICK
TOKYO. —- “My house” and
“my car” have in recent years
been the goals of the Japanese
wage earner. ’ Suddenly, thanks
to the oil crisis, both home and
automobile are threatened by a
waye of “me too-ism.”

It all started with the Arab
oil squeeze on this nation of 106
million which is more than 80
per cent dependent on outside
energy sources. \

It didn't matter that oil im­
ports for December and January
were, in fact, higher than for
those months a year ago. The
prices of gasoline, kerosene,
petroleum products and propane

gas shot up.
Though the government tried
to hold the line, a chain reaction
set in. “Bingo — me too!” other
producers exclaimed. Soon the
retail prices of such commoditits
as sugar, clothing and toilet
paper began to soar.
Scheduled increases in
rail
fares were postponed for
six
months, but the nation's taxi
companies, short of the liquid
propane gas on which most of
them now operate. got hefty
hikes of up to 31 per cent in
fares. In Tokyo and the
big
cities, fares now begin at 220
yen or about 70 cents, compared
to 170 yen oi" cents for the first
two kilometers, with guaranteed

increased according* to distance
thereafter.
Throughout the oil crisis, the
Japanese consumer has had the
gnawing feeling that he
was
being gouged, 'a victim of un­
scrupulous businessmen out to
capitalize on the fear of short­
ages.
This hunch has been buttress­
ed by disclosure that one of the
nation’s biggest oil firms, Gene­
ral
Sekiyu
K.K. circulated a
confidential memorandum to its
branch offices in November last
year ordering average increases
of the prices of its products of
3891 yen or about 12
dollars
per kiloliter..
It instructed branch managers
