Postwar price controls urged for consumer goods
The Washington debate on extending price controls beyond June 30 centers on a two-year postwar period. Johnston of the States chamber argues controls may be needed to curb price inflation for durable goods as supplies stabilize, while Eccles warns that pent-up demand could erase stabilization gains. The chamber notes rationing could be eased after Hitler falls and Europe reaps harvests, but may persevere until war ends.
