![["The document is from Mr. Gershom to Senator Schwabe expressing opposition to the OPA (Office of Price Administration) and the impact it has on the ability of poor people to afford essential goods. Gershom argues that the OPA's price controls limit production and availability of goods, making it difficult for him to buy necessities like a new car, washing machine, and clothes. He believes that if the OPA were to be abolished, prices would adjust naturally and poor people would be able to afford what they need. Gershom also criticizes the OPA for favoring the rich and preventing the poor from accessing basic necessities."]](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_19_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_19_0013_thumbnail.jpg "A Poor Man's Perspective on the O.P.A.")
