Reconversion: Old Prices Controlled to 1942 Levels
The OPA plans to curb price rises during reconversion with a formula that ties consumer goods to the 1942 level. Manufacturers with annual sales of 200000 dollars or more may add only half the 1936 to 1939 profit margin to costs, while smaller firms apply their own margins. Large producers must submit price plans to OPA for approval before general industry costs are set.
