No amount of juggling with an insufficient supply
will produce a single home more than can be built with
material available.
The OPA can hardly hold present price ceilings when
it has no control over volume of employment, labor wage
rates, cashing of government bonds, and installment or
credit expansion—BUT THE OPA CAN ACT AS A
BACK TO RECONVERSION BY CLINGING kTO UN-
REALISTIC WARTIME PRICE CEILINGS.
Clay sewer pipe, cast iron soil pipe and Gypsum
board manufacturers have experienced a similar OPA
delay in the granting of price adjustments to make in
creased production possible.

IT’S TIME VETERANS AND ALL CITIZENS WERE
TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HOME BUILDING
SITUATION.
The main bottleneck <to home construction is produc-
tion of materials and equipment.
No legislation, Presidential announcement, govern-
ment control plan, or system can produce a single addi-
tional home until production .of materials is speeded up.
Lumber Dealers and the Building Industry are eager
to build homes for veterans and all citizens who need
them. The reason few homes are being built is because
materials are not bein'g produced.

OES PAST MATRONS
4. OPA’s slowness in adjusting mill ceiling prices
on hardwood flooring, siding, millwork and ply-
wood has contributed to the difficulties mills are
having in securing necessary manpower^
With 400 brick and tile plants closed, it took 6 months
for OPA to adjust prices. Now an additional 125 plants
have opened and production is up 35%.
