In a letter dated February 3, 1946, Congressman George B. Schwabe responds to Mr. A. Wallace Easter's views on price controls, particularly on rents and essential foods. Schwabe expresses his agreement that some controls may be necessary, but criticizes the Office of Price Administration (OPA) for their handling of the situation. He advocates for a philosophy of abundance and increased production to lower prices, and mentions ongoing debates on labor legislation. Schwabe also mentions efforts to curb racketeering. Easter responds with concerns about rising costs in Tulsa and urges Schwabe to continue working on price controls.
