Hodges highlights a specific case of excessive rent charges in Bartlesville and requests assistance in addressing such issues. Congressman Schwabe responds, expressing his belief that price controls are not consistent with a capitalist system and are only suitable for dire emergencies. He notes that there have been complaints in areas with rent controls, but not in Bartlesville where there are none."]](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_33_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_33_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Importance of Universal Rent Controls")
