ADDRESS TOWN... STATE.... PHONE..., :ent THINK INFLATION HIT YOU HARD IN 1974? Well, be glad you weren't living in Italy or Japan, where inflation zoomed by more than 20 percent As this chart shows, the U.S. rate —a little over 12 percent—ranked below eight other industrial countries. Only the Netherlands and Germany reported slower growth rates. While the U.S. rate of inflation in 1974 went up about 40 percent over 1973, it nearly doubled in four countries—ltaly, the United King dom, Belgium, and France. Only Germany had a lower rate of infla tion in 1974 than in 1973. Higher food and oil prices were the major culprits. Food prices played a smaller role in 1974 than in 1973, however. They accounted for about 45 percent of the 1973 inflation in the 11 countries shown in the chart, whereas in 1974, they accounted for a little under 30 per cent. Here at home, food prices ZIP [Please include Area Code] Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Dec. 27,1975 were responsible for a little over half of the price rise for all items in 1973, compared with about one fourth in 1974, when food prices rose at about the same rate as all other items. Oil prices, on the other hand, had their greatest impact in 1974, though it's difficult to tell just how much they added to the inflationary spiral. Climbing prices of many raw materials and wage increases also fueled inflation. Prices of such commodities as lead, zinc, cop per, tin, rubber, and cotton were at 10-year highs through out 1973-74. Most of these prices have been declining in recent months, however, so their impact on inflation should ease off. Wage demands, on the other hand, will probably remain a major force in the 1975 picture. [Based on special material from Hal Goolsby, Foreign Demand and Competi tion Division.] ..
