compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

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

In writing up the final draft of the above Code the word "other"

basis of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that:

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 

~o diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of indu try for the purpose 

9£ cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaini_ng 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 the industries, by avoiding undue restrictions 

of production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing 

the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increa . .ing 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 Subsection (a) of Section 3, Sub ection (a) of Section 7 and 

Sub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) That the aforesaid amendment is ncce ary to correct an error 

in the Code as submitted to the President for his approval.

(e) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed

operate to discriminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other ste ~ of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be h arcl prior to approval of said

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