陳儀主政下“臺灣省貿易局”的興衰(1945-1947)

臺灣省貿易局自1945年11月成立之後，曾招致不少負面的評價以及反對的聲浪，也有人指責貿易局統制有餘，保護不足，貿易局沒有發揮統制經濟的效用，反而任由省民自生自滅，因此質疑它存在的必要性，認為它是一個統制機構、為一營利的壟斷組織。然而，貿易局之成立，其歷史成因與脈絡為何？是否在當時的歷史環境中，亦有其水到渠成、順理成章的因素？它是否能達到統制的效用？為何會落得飽受批評的下場？本文主要想探討設立貿易局的緣由及其所衍生的問題。

Ever since November 1945 when Taiwan Trade Bureau was first established, it had aroused pretty much negative evaluation and opposing voices. It was defied as having too much power with too little function to protect and plan for the development of economy. Instead, it became a monopoly organization, concerned with its profits only and lending little support to the people. However, how was it initiated? What was the rationale for its establishment? Was it a product of the time? Why didn't it perform its duty to develop economy? These are the questions that this paper wishes to address.
