the general welfare by promoting the organization of indu tr

under ad quate governmental sanction and supervi ion · by eliminating unfair competitive practices by promoting the fulle t po ible 

utilization of the pre ent productive capacit of indu tri s, by avoiding undu restriction of production (ex ept a may be temporarily 

r quired), by increasing the con umption of indu trial and agricultural proclu t through increa ino· purchasing po r, by redu in · ancl r li Yin<Y unemployment by improving tandard of labor and 

th rwi · r habilitating indu try.

For these reasons, therefore~ the National Industrial Recovery
