of cooperative action among trade groups by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and 1nanagem nt und r adequate 

gov rnmental sanction and supervi ion by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fulle t po ible utilization of the 

pre ent productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue r - striction of production ( except as may be temr rarily required) by 

in r a ing the consumption of indu trial and ao-ricu1tural produ t 

throuo-h increa ·ing purcha ino- power by r educing and relievino- unemployment by 1mprovino- standard of labor, and by otherwi e 

r ehabilitatino- indu try.

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendments. 

For the above reasons these amendments have been approved 

by me.
