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.

![["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.
