Scope and Contents

The document is a correspondence between George B. Schwabe and J.E. Trigg discussing their disapproval of the proposed extension of the O.P.A (Office of Price Administration). Schwabe believes that price control is unnecessary and harmful, and that those who support it have selfish motives.

Both individuals advocate for the removal of price control and a return to "the good old American way of life."
