The letter is from Honorable Representative George B. Schwabe to veterans of the Second World War, discussing their financial situation and the need for an effective OPA bill. The veterans express their concerns about living on a low income and urge Schwabe to support price stabilization. Schwabe argues against OPA and government intervention in the economy, stating that deficit financing is the main cause of inflation. He believes that too much government involvement will lead to dictatorship in the country. The veterans hope their letter will receive Schwabe's attention and that he will consider their perspective.
