REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H 01.tSe. 

Sm: This i a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair Com- petition for the Merchandi e VY arehousing Trade. The amendment 

was submitted by the Code Authority for said Trade and was published on June 27, 1934. Opportunity to file Obj ections was afforded 

all interested parties, and during the period de ignated to permit 

such opportunity, no objections were received. 

The amendment was submitted by the Code Authority in accordance with your Order of April 14, 1934.

Di vision of the National Recovery Adininistration. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on the amendment to said Code, having found as herein set forth and on the basis 

of all the proceeding 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 obstruction 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 trad"' group , by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and upervision, by eliminating unfair competitive 

practice by promoting the fulle t possible utilization of the present 

productive capacity of industrie , by avoiding undue re triction of 

produ tion ( except as may be temporarily required) by increasing 

the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through 

increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving rn1employment, by improving tandard of labor, and by otherwise rehabili- tating indu try. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all re pects 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 ... uthority to pre ent 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 oppres mall ent erpri es and will not 

operate to di criminate against them. 

(2)

(£) Those engaged in any 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 been approved. 

Respectfully, 

AUGUST 21, 1934.
