welfare by promoting the oro-anization of indu try for the purpo e of 

cooperative action of labor and management under adeqnate o-overnmental anction and supervi ion, by eliminatino· unfair competitive 

practice by promoting the fullest po ible utilization of the present 

productive capacity of indu tries, by avoiding un lue re triction of 

production ( except a may be temporarily required) by increa ing 

the con umption of indu trial and agricultural produ ·ts throuo-h 

increasino- purcha ing power 1 by reducin and r lieving unemployment, by improving tandards of labor, and by otherwi e r habilitatino- ind 1 try.
