well designed to promote the policies and purpo es of Titl I of the 

ational Industrial Recovery A.ct including the removal of ob truction to the free flow of inter tate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof and will provide for the aeneral 

welfare by _promoting the organization of industr for the purpo e 

of cooperative action of labor a.nd manao-ement under adequate governmental anction and upervi ion by liminating unfair mp titive practice b prom ting the fulle t utilization of th pr ent 

producti,e capacit of indu tri b a,oiding undu r tri tion of

( e) The modification and the Code as modified 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 

modificatio~ 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this modification. 

Respectfully,
