- Description:
- The document is from George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, to Mrs. Sidney E. Sisson discussing the issues with the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and rent control. Schwabe believes that OPA is opposed to the American system of free enterprise and that rent control may be the only price control deserving of consideration. He also believes that public sentiment is a better tool than legislation for dealing with unfair landlords. Schwabe criticizes the New Deal Administration for not trusting the American people and constantly instilling fear in them. He agrees with Mrs. Sisson's views and appreciates her clear reasoning.
