Extensive powers of control over the industry enable the Japanese Government to fix sales prices, to determine quotas of oll imports alloted annually to various com- panies and to force the oil com- panies to expand their storage plants in case of necessity.
The principal foreign oll in- terests concerned are required to Incur heavy expenditure on the erection of additional storage tanks, and to increase their oll stocks to about three times their present volume, without receiving any security that they may be able to recoup themselves for this large expenditure. Indeed, there is no guarantee that after the expendi- ture has been incurred the Japan- ese Government, by arbitrary Ex- ing of sales prices and limiting the quota of trade annually allotted to the companies, may not actually prevent them from so recouping themselves. in
