REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Soft Fibre Manufacturing Industry. Notice of Opportunity to be Heard on this amendment was published on August 24, 

1934; no objections were received within the given fifteen (15) day 

period ending September 8, 1934. The amendment, which is attached, was presented by duly qualified and authorized representatives of the Industry, complying with statutory requirements and 

being the duly constituted Code Authority under the provisions o:f 

said Code :for said Industry. 

This amendment provides for assessment of the members of the 

Soft Fibre Manufacturing Industry to defray the expenses of the 

Code Authority, as set forth in Executive Order No. 6676, dated 

April 14, 1934. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended 

are well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I 

of the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal o.f 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for 

the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for 

the purpose of cooperative action of labor and management under 

adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by elin1inating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding 

undue restriction of production ( except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing 

and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and 

sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code Authority is empowered to present the aforesaid 

amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

( d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

For these reasons this amendment has boon approved. - Respectfully, 

HUGH 8. J OIINSON, 

Administrator.
