简论光复初期台湾的专卖制度

Taiwan's Monopoly System in the Early Days of Its Recovery

光复以后 ,台湾省行政长官公署设立专卖局 ,对樟脑、烟草、酒、火柴、度量衡器等物资实行严格的专卖制度。 1945年至 1947年 ,台湾省行政长官公署百分之三十以上的财政收入来源于专卖。专卖制度自最初实行即引起台湾民众的普遍反感 ,并最终成为 1947年“二·二八”事件爆发的一个主要原因和导火索。“二·二八”事件之后 ,专卖局被改组为烟酒公卖局 ,其余物资则不再实行专卖。

After its recovery from the Japanese occupation Taiwan authorities set up a monopoly bureau, imposing a very strict system of monopoly on such commodities as camphor, tobacco, wine, matches etc.More than 30 percent of its financial revenue came from the monopoly.The monopoly system aroused prevalent repugnance of the people there, which resulted in the outbreak of the event of February 28, 1947.
