Price control in peacetime is a simple denial to customers of their right to bring about and to support production of the goods and services they want. Volun¬ tary and competitive buying and selling Constitute the only proven way for buyers continuously to let sellers know what they want and so to bring about a balanced production and exchange of the most wanted goods and services. The maximum production of wanted goods can only be induced by the price that people voluntarily will pay—that is the maximum price. It is also .the minimum price that will result in the production of the (quantity, quality and variety wanted.
