Scope and Contents

The document is a correspondence between Mr. C. T. Hardeman and Honorable George Schwabe discussing the revival of the O.P.A.

He also expresses concerns about the negative effects of O.P.A. operations on production.

Schwabe responds, stating that he has never voted for O.P.A. and believes that business will right itself without its revival.
