A Moravia Union letter writer recounts wartime land issues, Farm Bureau loyalties, and the New Deal era as he criticizes price controls and subsidies. He cites milk cheese prices, wheat dumping, and fears of a useless war while urging self reliance and referencing OPS and CPR-7 developments in Washington. He notes local merchants seeking OPS details and rails against government currency depreciation and market controls.
District OPS Director Vincent A Holmes announced a simplification of CPR-7 for merchants but the meeting devolved into confusion. An exasperated audience member left early while attendees struggled to hear speakers and navigate dense pricing charts, leaving many uneasy about the new regulation.
