![["The document discusses the failures of rationing during wartime, with shortages of meat, eggs, and other goods leading to black market activities. The author argues that artificial controls of prices and production have been ineffective and have raised costs. They suggest that a return to a competitive system based on supply and demand would be more successful in regulating prices and promoting economic growth."]](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_3_47_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_47_0008_thumbnail.jpg "The Failures of Rationing Controls: A Call for Change")
![["The document is written by George B. Schwabe, expressing his concerns about the Office of Price Administration (O.P.A.) and the control it has over prices and regulations. He believes the O.P.A. has too much authority and is un-American in its approach. Schwabe criticizes the bureaucracy and enforcement methods of the O.P.A., stating that it is leading towards state socialism or totalitarianism. He also raises concerns about the impact on small businesses and the future of young men returning from war. Schwabe urges for a reconsideration of the powers given to these bureaus and expresses opposition to their actions."]](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_3_47_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_47_0018_thumbnail.jpg "The Un-American Attitude of Bureaucracy: A Letter from George B.

![["The document dated June 1, 1945, from George B. Schwabe responds to a request from Mr. G. L. Hackleman for a bill to provide a pension for World War I veterans. Schwabe expresses doubts about the passage of such a bill, citing the pensions received by Civil War and Spanish-American War veterans and the current care provided to World War I disabled veterans. He mentions that many World War I veterans are opposed to universal pensioning and states that veterans organizations have not requested such a bill. Schwabe remains open to further suggestions on the matter. Hackleman's original letter had requested a pension for World War I veterans, comparing it to the pensions received by Civil War veterans and expressing the financial struggles faced by some veterans."]](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_7_19_0000-Veterans,%201945-1946/CAC_CC_047_1_7_19_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_19_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Discussion on Proposed Pension Bill for World War I Veterans")
