The petition also criticizes the OPA for furthering communist ideals, being un-American, tyrannical, and corrupt. Specific examples are provided to support these claims, including arbitrary regulations, unfair fines, and abusive behavior towards citizens. The petition argues that the OPA's false theory of central control is misguided and that most Americans are honest and patriotic, not in need of excessive government intervention.

Solutions were proposed to streamline procedures and improve the delivery system for Indian housing.
