will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization 

of industry for the purposes of cooperative action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanctions 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 relievin~ unemployment, by improving standards of 

labo.r, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Supplementary Code as amended complies in all respects 

with the _pertinent provisions of said Title of said Actt includin~ 

without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) ot 

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

(2) 
3 

(d) The Amendment and the Supplementary Code as amended 

are not designed to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic 

practices. 

( e) The Amendment and the Supplementary 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 o-f said 

Amendment. 

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

Respectfully,
