![["Helen Gahagan Douglas expresses her support for price control and the continuation of the OPA in a speech to Congress on June 25, 1946. She argues that abandoning price control would be disastrous for the economy and compares it to the devastation of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Douglas criticizes a bill that she believes will lead to inflation and higher prices, stating that it will only give the American people an illusion of protection. She ultimately refuses to vote for the bill, believing it would not benefit the American people."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_014_810_5_1_0010.jpg "The Dangers of Inflation: A Call to Support OPA Price Control")
