They believe that discontinuing O.P.A. will cause hardship and are in favor of stringent price controls. Congressman Schwabe responds by stating his opinion that O.P.A. has done more harm than good and is un-American. Schwabe believes that planned economy is not beneficial for the country's prosperity."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_33_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_33_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Support for O.P.A.

![["George B. Schwabe received a telegram from Mr. H.C. Hawkins urging him to vote for the resurrection of O.P.A. rent and price controls. Schwabe disagrees with Hawkins, stating that the majority of people in northeastern Oklahoma, including farmers and residents of smaller towns, are against O.P.A. and price controls. He believes these policies are un-American and have socialistic and communistic backgrounds. Schwabe argues that prices are not skyrocketing and that instances of chiseling and rent complaints are mostly in cities with rent control.
