REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act for an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Motor Fire Apparatus Manufacturing Industry, submitted by the 

Code Authority for the said Industry. 

The existing provision of Article VI, Section 4, of the Code for 

said Industry is entirely inadequate in view of Executive Order 

6678, dated April 14, 1934, and Administrative Order X-36, dated 

May 26, 1934, and it is therefore evident that the proposed amendment to Article VI of said Code, the provisions of which follow 

closely the text of the above-mentionerl Orders, will overcome the 

existing inadequate provisions. 

FINDINGS 

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 designated to promote thelolicies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery ct, including the removal of ob tructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general welf ar e by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of 

cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining 

united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practice , by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present 

productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue restrictions 

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 ection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. • 

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

to and will r "t permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
3 

( d) 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. 

( e) 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, therefore, I have approved this amendment.
