- Description:
- The document from George B. Schwabe, a member of the House of Representatives, responds to a resolution passed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Vinita, Oklahoma, in support of the Office of Price Administration (OPA). Schwabe defends his opposition to the OPA, citing feedback from constituents and emphasizing the importance of following their wishes. He acknowledges the differing opinions but also emphasizes the importance of maintaining friendship despite disagreements. The resolution from the VFW Post highlights concerns about the impact of lifting price controls on veterans who are benefiting from the G.I. Bill. It urges support for the OPA to ensure economic stability and help war-ravaged countries recover.
