REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: Under the Code of Fair Competition for the Farm Equipment 

Industry a approved October 3, 1933, the Code Authority for said 

Industry has ubmitted an amendment to said Code, which if approved, would extend the expiration date from February 1, 1935, to 

June 16, 1935. The Code in its present form does not conform to 

Administration policy in a number of respects and for this reason, 

the expiration date has been extended to May 1, 1935, instead of June 

16, 1935, as requested by the Industry. Within the t.hree months' 

period of extension a Public Hearing will be held to consider additional amendments. The amendment extending the expiration date 

t.o May 1, 1935, is embodied in the Order. 

An Opportunity to be Heard was duly noticed and no objections 

were received from the Indu try or from interested parties associated 

with the Industry. 

FrxmNGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said Amendment 

to aiel Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of 

all proceedings in this matter, 

It is found that: 

(a) The Amendment to aid Code and the Code as amended is 

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 thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperative 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 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 said Act, including without limitation 

Subsection (a) of Section 3 Subsection (a) of Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Farm Equipment Institute was and is an Industrial Association truly representative of the aforesaid Industry and that said 

Farm Equipment Institute imposed and imposes no inequitable 

(2) 
3 

restrictions on admission to membership th rein and has applied for 

this amendment through the Code Authority of the aforesaid 

Industry. 

(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 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 

amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

JANUARY 31, 1935.
