This Crisis Paper is thirty-third in a series which expands the analysis of the crisis under discussion to provide a multi-national view of the issue by quoting comment from a selection of newspapers and journals of several countries. A brief introduction outlines the history and background of the energy crisis, emphasizing the underestimated demand for oil and the overestimated amount of accessible oil outside the Middle East. Journal and newspaper articles from six countries--United States, France, West Germany, Japan, Egypt, and United Kingdom--follow, ranging in date from April to November 1973. A two-page commentary underlines major problems brought out in the articles and summarizes the political and economic implications which are analyzed in the comments. A list of four basic policy questions implicit in the energy crisis conclude the issue. (Author/KSM)
