Here Is What May Happen

Senate Passes Present Bill
(By Federated Press.)

NEW YORk.-Here is a preview from OPA economists of
what will happen to economic life in the United States If the
OPA death-bill as passed by the house and senate is not We
toed by President Truman. 1t is what happened after World
War when no price control existed to prevent initiation, boom
and bust.
l. The cost of living rose to a point 1903 per cent above pre-
war levels.
2. Goods priced themselves right off the market. They
piled up on shelves because people couldn't buy. The market
collapsed, production collapsed.
3. In 1922 81 per cent of workers in industry were re-
moved from the payrols. Unemployment and wage cuts slashed
"a per cent off the nations purchasing power.
4. The effect on business was felt for four years in which
there were LOG, 600 business failures-more than 10000 q year.
Last year under OPA $40 businesses failed.)
S. The number of unemployed increased by 5,6O0,000. (To-
day, with OPA, there are 2,300,O 600 unemployed.)
6. Farm prices collapsed. Farm income fell from 81 1860 =
year to $3.50 a year. Mortgage foreclosures caused 100000
farmers to lose their farms, their homes and means Of live
lihood.
