OPA NOTES ,,
There will be rapid changes concerning Price Control and Rationing
as the months following the end of the War allow production of Civilian
goods to’increase. j
The Price Control Act, as tho priblic is aware, is strictly a War
Measure, It 'was set up to extend until six months’ after the end of the
war, The Office of Price Administration is the agency set up to carry
out the provisions, of the- Price Control Act. It has existed from year
o year pending the renewal of this agency by Congress. What the future
is of either depends upon the conditions of the country in approximately
six months from now, and upon the will of Congress,
In the States rationing of a good many commodities has already ceased,
But as far as Alaska is concerned the following changes have been madei
i
1. Because of the civilian shortages in the States^no shoes can be ship
ped to individuals outside the United States.(Philippine Islands
excepted)
2. 1942 automobiles are no longer restricted ©Ither new or used. At
this date the information is that the new cars will be rationed.
;3, Tractor implement and lnductrial type tires are removed from ration-^
ing as of August 21. There will be more detailed information about
this later.
4. Bus, passenger and truck tires will continue to be rationed.
5. The Office of Defense Transportation (and not the OPA) has terminated
all restrictions on busses and taxes. However, they are not to be
granted tires £o the extent that other eligible applicants are
deprived,
6. But PRICE CONTROL has not changed. The date 1942 has boon the line
to work from in Price Control. Insofar as possible prices will still
be held to the 1942 base period. This applies to new goods coming on
the market, electric irons, refrigerators, automobiles, etc. There
. havbeen changes from time to time in prices already in effect.
When the supply equals the demand competition will regulate the prices^
but \mtil then price control will be necessary.
