REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT

The PRESIDENT,

The White House.

SIR: This is a report on the modification to the Code of Fair

Competition for the Cigar Container Industry, which has been submitted in accordance with Executive Order No. 6678.

This modification enables the Code Authority to incur such reasonable obligations as are necessary to support the administration

of the code and to maintain the standards of fair competition established by this code. It also enables the Code Authority to submit

an itemized budget, and an equitable basis upon which the funds

necessary to support such budget shall be contributed by the members of the industry. Such contributions are made mandatory by

this modification.

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification of said code having found as herein set forth and on the

basis of all the proceedings in this matter:

I find that:

(a) The modification of said code and the code as modified are

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

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of 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 among trade groups by inducing and

maintaining united action, of labor and management under adequate

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating 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 reliev- in'r un) 1n Inof ing unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.

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

sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof.

(c) The Cod* empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid modification on behalf of the industry as a whole.

(d) The modification and the code as modified are not designed

to and vill not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.

(e) The ImodificItion and the code as modified are not designed to

and will Hot eilnimite or oppress small enterprises and will not

operate to discriminate against them.

(2)

(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

moidification.

For these reasons this modification has been approved.

Respectfully,

HUGhl S. JOHNSON,

AdiiT1trator.

AUGUSTr 91, 1934.
