The main bottleneck to home construction is pro duction of materials and equipment. No legislation.

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 being produced. W HY?

Governed by OPA's war-time pricing formu las, it is still more profitable for lumber mills to make items for export—and the items for merly required for war use, than it is to make lumber usable in Home Construction. • • 4. OPA’s slowness in adjusting mill ceiling prices on hardwood flooring, siding, millwork and plywood has contributed to the difficul ties 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' i . 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 increased production possible. No amount of juggling with an insufficient sup ply will produce a single home more than can be built with material available. 2. OPA's war-time pricing formulas are still keeping thousands of small mills out of pro duction. 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 BLOCK TO RECONVERSION BY CLINGING TO UNREALISTIC WARTIME PRICE CEILINGS. 3. OPA's enforcement policies have allowed the creation of a large black market in lumber which is moving outside of regular channels of trade. Unblock the production of materials caused by unrealistic wartime price controls and the building industry will build enough homes for veterans and all Americans!
