![["A petition to Congress is calling for the abolition of the Office of Price Administration (OPA) due to its oppression of small businesses, veterans, and widows, violation of laws and the Constitution, destruction of small businesses, causing scarcity in necessities, fostering black markets, wasting public funds, and showing opposition to free enterprise. The petition also criticizes the OPA for furthering communist ideals, being un-American, tyrannical, and corrupt. Specific examples are provided to support these claims, including arbitrary regulations, unfair fines, and abusive behavior towards citizens. The petition argues that the OPA's false theory of central control is misguided and that most Americans are honest and patriotic, not in need of excessive government intervention."]](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_46_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Petition to Abolish the Office of Price Administration: A Call for Sensible Controls and Freedom")
