   cupation a plan to the abolition is researched.
(2) Research into the reason why the Keirin importation plan was promoted.
(3) Research into the reason why the Keirin importation plan couldn't be enforced
   The following three matters could be pointed out as a result of the study.
(1) Progress from the decision of Keirin importation plan to the abolition reflected the dip-
   lomatic relations of Japan and the United States and the international situation such as
   the beginning of the political change of the East Asian region and the cold war.
(2) As for the Keirin importation plan, a Japanese side was cooperating in Naha City and
   Ryukyu side. The purpose of Naha City was to make up for shortage of finance. A pur-
   pose on the Japanese side was to exercise a political influence and an economical in flu-
   ence in the Ryukyu Islands.
(3) The development of Keirin importation plan stimulated USCAR (United States Civil
   Administration of the Ryukyu Islands). One of the causes that USCAR dismissed the de-
   cision of Naha municipal assembly which ignored public opinion is an inhabitant's Keirin
   counter movement
