![["The document addresses concerns about the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and its role in controlling prices during and after World War II. The writer criticizes OPA for its arbitrary control of prices, leading to black markets and inflation. The writer argues that OPA did not prevent inflation, but rather contributed to it. The document also discusses the impact of price increases on various commodities and questions the effectiveness of OPA in maintaining a stable economy."]](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_31_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_31_0031_thumbnail.jpg "The Truth Behind OPA: A Look at Price Control and Inflation")
![["Mr. Winston Weathers urges Representative George Schwabe to support the President's stand against inflation and vote for a temporary extension of the Office of Price Administration (O.P.A). Schwabe disagrees, stating that inflation is already present and is largely caused by deficit spending and borrowing by the current administration. He also believes that rent controls are unnecessary and that O.P.A actually contributes to inflation. He warns that further government control will only lead to more regulations and regimentations. Ultimately, Schwabe values frankness and honesty in expressing his views on the matter."]](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_32_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_32_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Supporting Government Control: A Letter to Representative Schwabe")

He shared his personal experiences regarding increased prices and questioned the effectiveness of planned economy.

![["The document writer disagrees with Mr. and Mrs. Manion's support for re-enacting O.P.A. permanently and believes that representatives of the people should express the wishes of the people rather than just following the President's direction. The writer also agrees with the idea of eventually eliminating price controls, but believes it should be done in a way that allows for competition to determine reasonable prices. The writer criticizes the influence of bureaucrats and pressure groups on Congress and believes that the current system of price controls is not fitting for the American economy."]](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_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Voicing Concerns: A Letter on Price Controls and Government Influence")
