After the war, the outline of the occupation policy of the Allies was instituted in promoting Japan's demilitarization and emocratization. As for physical education and sports, the sports that were regarded as ones to further democratization replaced military training and Budo, and they were promoted. It was essential for this promotion to supply sporting goods that were in great demand in those days in Japan. The purpose of this study was to clarify the measures taken by the CIE to supply sporting goods in Japan under the occupation, focusing on the activities of CIE officers regarding physical education. The process was examined through an analysis of the documents of the GHQ/SCAP. The results of this study are summarized as follows:1)The CIE officer for physical education (J.W.Norviel) worked actively on this issue. He began to conduct research and studies on sporting goods in February 1946 and drew up a supply plan for sporting goods over the next 15 months at the conference in September of that year. This plan was sufficiently systematic and concrete to guide the production of the goods of sports events to which priority should be given and to determine the amount of this production. The plan was controlled, and it provided an economic policy for that time. This plan placed goods of baseball, which has been popular among Japanese, and simple games introduced after the war, as the higher priority sporting goods.2)This plan, however, was not pursued smoothly from the beginning. The major factors found were the following : One was the critical shortage of materials, such as leather, rubber, and textile required for production of these goods in Japan at that time. In addition, these scarce materials were also wanted by other industries. Another was Japan's stagnating economic conditions after the war. Therefore, the officers (J.W.Norviel and W.J.Graham) expended their efforts in securing materials required for the production of sporting goods, by using goods the U.S.military had parted with and by studying substitute goods. They handled even the black market, which also created an important problem in supplying sporting goods. However, the delay in the import of the materials, inadequate responses to the black market, and the lack of facilities and funds of the Japanese sporting goods manufactures hindered the plan in being pursued smoothly.3) No long-term supply plans of sporting goods have been seen since 1948. It should be considered that the supply plans were developed according to conditions of scarce materials and needs for sporting products. These plans gave consideration to the traditional supply conditions of placing excessive emphasis on baseball goods and the shortage of school sports goods, and made reviews of the supply of sporting products. When domestic production was recovering in 1949, control of economic policy was eased. As for sporting goods, rationing of leather sport goods was ceased in April 1949. Although it is hard to see the movement after the abolishment of the Physical Education Bureau in July 1949, it was decided to decontrol ski implements and accessories in August and to cease the rationing of rubber sport goods in December. Therefore, the officer (W.Neufeld) seems to have accepted gradually the relaxation of control in supplying the goods, even with care about problems accompanied the end of rationing, including the bottleneck in supplying sports products to schools.
