gram will die a natural and deprved death. Economists and business experts well know that the effective weapon with which to combat inflation is abundant production and untrammeled dis tribution of goods. We have in this country an enormously ex panded plant capacity due to the magnificent and highly competent tooling up for war production, and, judging from newspaper re ports, there is now a rapidly in creasing and quite large number of unemployed workmen. There is also a large potential demand for automobiles, washing ma chines, radio sets, vacuum clean ers, farm equipment, plumbing supplies, and hundreds of other necessary and staple items that have been off the market during the war. Whether we get them or not in short order, as soon as they might be made to roll off the factory assembly lines, depends somewhat on whether consumers refuse to be taken in by the speci ous reasoning of the governments' . more articulate economists that if their price control policies are not supported, we are heading straight }ward economic disaster. No consumer likes to pay higher prices for anything, but to expect to be able to buy the opulent vari ety of typically American com modities at the prices paid in the days before we incurred the costs of the most devastating war in history is to exhibit a belief in an economic Santa Claus that is not a normal characteristic of adults. If it becomes clear generally, as it now seems to many observing persons, that the underlying mo tive of the coterie of experts who generate the ideas in OPA is to direct the production of consum ers' goods into channels that their policy-making officials consider to be "socially desirable," or best suited to manipulation of the pol icies and goals of managers and workmen in industry, Congress should and will make short shift of the entire agency at the earliest possible moment. The war is over and won by the valor of our mili tary forces and the boundless skill and managerial abilities of men in our factories and mines, and on our farms; it is no longer in order to act as though there was a war to be won and people still to be "pushed around" in bringing that gigantic and unified effort to an early and successful conclusion.
