Make 1t Permanent !.

Judging by current reports it likely that
the OPA will shortly terminate its control crude oil
prcesa control whose unjust features have been felt
most acutey by the independent producer of crude oil
During the war he took financial whipping He
paid high prices for labor and high prices for materials
He depleted his only resource-o in the ground-and
is searching fantcay for ways to replace it, certain
only that the replacement will cost far than did his
original reserves.
Some of his oil went into hghocane gas This brought
prices that yielded nice return to the professors
There was such "out" for the producer of crude
oil He produced material and he had to take what
he could get and all he could get 81 percent of parity
The OPA saw to that
While all this was happening to the oil producer, far
different treatment was being accorded the who raised
wheat HIS prices boosted still being boosted
The price raises snied upon by OPA probably just
But if it is equitable see that the wheat raiser gets
fair return then it is equitable that the oil producer
gets similar fair return
Had the OPA shown any inclination toward fairness
in considering the two groups of producers there could
have been complaint But OPA WAS and is unfair. IF
its arrogant and unreastc attitude toward crude oil
ducers is fair criterion then OPA is unfit to fix ANY
price
proposes to SUSPEND control over crude oil prices
The arrangement should be PERMANENT.
Or-havent enough producers of crude oil been forced
to the wall?
