The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendment to said Code having found as herein set f orth 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 of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount there ~ and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperative action among trade group.s, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental . ~nction and supervi ion, 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 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 aid Act, including without limitation Subsection (a} of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

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

(d) The amendment and the Code as amend eel 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. 

(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 

amendm_ent. 

For thes ~ reasons, therefore, I have approved this amendment on 

condition that the continued participation of the Pulp and Paper 

Machinery Association in the activities of the Code as amended be 

conditioned upon its amending its Constitution and By-Laws to the 

satisfaction of the Administrator within thirty (30) days from the 

effective date of this amendment.

JUNE 29, 1934.
