- Description:
- The document from Mr. A. V. Waldrep of J. A. Waldrep Candy Co. to Congressman George B. Schwabe expresses concern about the ceiling on corn prices affecting the candy industry. Congressman Schwabe responds, criticizing the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and the New Deal Administration for creating scarcity and inflation through regulations and controls. He mentions seeing abundant corn during a recent trip and believes there is no shortage. Schwabe vows to continue fighting against the OPA and supporting free enterprise. The OPA's response to Schwabe's concerns acknowledges the issues facing industries due to corn shortages and outlines steps being taken to address the situation.
