present productive capacity of indu tries, by avoiding undue re ·friction of production (except as may be temporarily required), by in- cre~sing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing pow·er, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving tandar<l · of labor, and by othcn,·ise 

rehabilitating industry.
