Concerns Over OPA Revival: A Letter Exchange, 1946-07-16

Item — Box: 6, Folder: 26

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_6_26_0012

Scope and Contents

The letter is discussing the OPA reviver bill and the debate over whether to revive the OPA with or without decontrol features. The sender, George Schwabe, is against reviving the OPA in its previous form and believes that allowing businesses to operate freely will benefit the country. The letter also includes a telegram from Barney Stewart Jr., urging Schwabe to vote to send the existing OPA bill as passed by the Senate directly to the President. Stewart argues that businesses have been operating fairly since the OPA expired and that allowing industries to make legitimate profits will benefit the country.
