| Research Abstract |
In this project We studied the distribution system 1941-1948 in many phases, which established the foundation of the wartime controlled economy in Japan. Our conclusions are as follows.
(1)Transporting capacity was the base of the material mobilization plan and the capacity expanding plan. So the cause of the collapse of the wartime economy was the sharp decrease of shipping in 1941, by the requisition of the army and the navy.
(2)During The Pacific War, shipping agents were integrated into one operating organization(Senpaku-un-eikai), and many kind of materials were mobilized into the shipbuilding industry thoroughly.
(3)National Rebirth Bank(kokumin-kousei-kinko)one of the closed institutes directed by GHQ, promoted the liquidation of smaller business especially commerce business, and brought forth much labor and scrap for reuse.
(4)Wholesale dealers had been very significant in the distribution system during the wartime and the post wartime controlled economy.
