![["Mr. Edmonds wrote a letter to Representative George Schwabe discussing his concerns about the impact of the discontinuation of OPA legislation on prices of dairy products and rent. He shared his personal experiences regarding increased prices and questioned the effectiveness of planned economy. Representative Schwabe responded, providing information on OPA, subsidies, inflation, and the impact of bureaucratic control on the economy. He also expressed his views on rent control and the importance of allowing the laws of supply and demand to operate freely."]](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_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Price Control and Subsidies: A Letter from George B.

![["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")
![["The document is from Honorable Representative George B. Schwabe to veterans of the Second World War, discussing their financial situation and the need for an effective OPA bill. The veterans express their concerns about living on a low income and urge Schwabe to support price stabilization. Schwabe argues against OPA and government intervention in the economy, stating that deficit financing is the main cause of inflation. He believes that too much government involvement will lead to dictatorship in the country. The veterans hope their letter will receive Schwabe's attention and that he will consider their perspective."]](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_34_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_34_0003_thumbnail.jpg "An Appeal for Economic Security: A Letter to Honorable Representative George B.

![["The document is a letter from Honorable George B. Schwabe in response to a letter from Rev. Eugene S. Tanner regarding price control legislation. Schwabe mentions that he has received overwhelming opposition to the revival of price controls, particularly O.P.A., from his constituents. He believes that continued bureaucratic control makes it harder to eliminate and that the O.P.A. was poorly administered. He also notes that lobbying efforts from black marketers, O.P.A. officials, and bureaucrats are influencing public opinion. Schwabe assures Tanner that he will consider the views of his constituents when voting on legislation."]](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_34_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_34_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Price Control Legislation: A Letter Exchange")

It is argued that this bill would lead to socialization of business and a move towards serfdom. The document also opposes Reorganization Plan No. 1, which abolishes the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation in favor of a National Housing Administrator focused on public housing.

Schwabe, thanks the recipient for expressing disapproval of price control legislation and states that the majority of constituents are also against it. The second letter, written by W.C.
