Maintenance of present tre
mendous farm and industrial pro-
iuction is the key to the postwar
"conversion program outlined by
OPA Administrator Chester E.
Bowles in a memorandum issued
last week. •
Bowles, in the memorandum to
OPA Advisory Committees, advo
cates a price control program ex
tending into the immediate post
war period that will seek to bal
ance inflationary pressures caused
by the release of huge wartime
savings and the resultant desire
to buy, and, at the same time, de
flationary pressures expected to
result in part from the Govern
ment's cut-back of wartime spend-
ng.
To bo effective, Bov/les said the
prices must be set at a level high
enough to encourage continued in
dustrial production and yet low
enough for farmers, in particular,
to buy necessary farm machinery
and raw- products so that present
all-time record farm production
can continue. Pointing out that
an attempt to return to 1940 lev
els of production might mean a
period of inflation then collapse
such as the nation experienced af
ter the last war, Bowles said sus
tained hig'h purchasing power of
farmers will furnish dhe of the
largest and most profitable mar
kets for industrial products. At
the same time, maintenance of
present high wage rates and in
dustrial employment w'ill provide a
continued market for farm prod
ucts.
The proposed program by the
OPA Administration calls for e-
limination of price controls as
quickly as production can supply
a demand intensified by nearly
three years of war scarcity.

Fresh cranberries for home con
sumption have been brought un
der the price control at all levels
from the country shipper through
the retail seller.
Under the new ceiling prices the
highest retail price for cranberries
is expected to be about 41 cents
per pound. The season average
return to growers will be about
$24.23 per 100-pound barrel.
The Office of Price Administra
tion has lifted all price control
from grapes sold in the fresh mar
ket for home consumption.
Action revoking price ceiling>
and suspending retail mark-ups
on fresh table grapes was taken
under direction of the Economic
Stabilization Director to remove
any inequities to grow 3 anc
