![["The document dated July 7, 1945, from Mr. Schwabe to Mr. Welch discusses the issue of Maximum Price Regulation No. 540 covering the prices of used cars. Mr. Welch argues that the regulation is hindering the normal decrease in prices that should occur as the war with Germany has been won and the manufacture of new cars is increasing. He believes that the regulation has become the minimum price for cars regardless of make, quality, or condition. Dealers are experiencing a drop in sales and are afraid of the trade-in allowance clause in the regulation. Mr. Welch requests the immediate repeal of MPR 540.
