- Description:
- 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.
