Staff Only

The letter from George B. Schwabe to Mrs. J.E. Mattern discusses the overwhelming opposition to the revival of price controls, particularly O.P.A., among constituents. Schwabe expresses his belief that rent control is the only form of price control that many people are interested in, citing complaints from both landlords and tenants in districts where rent control has been in effect. He also criticizes the poor administration of O.P.A. and the lobbying efforts of those who benefit from price controls. Schwabe assures Mattern that he values her input and will make decisions in Congress based on the views of his constituents.
