REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act, for an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Cork Industry, submitted by the Code Authority for the Cork 

Industry. 

The purpose and effect of the amendment are to make the Code 

applicable to manufacturers only, which was the original purpose 

and intent, and to remove anmnalous conditions which have arisen 

under the practical operation of the Code. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis 

of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that : 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstruc- tions to the free flow of interstate and fore1gn 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 among trade groups, by inducing and main- taining united action of labor and n1anagement under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competi- tive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

present productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue 

restrictions of productwn (except as may be temporarily required), 

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increa ing 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 sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7, and 

sub- ection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterpri es and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
B 

{e) 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, I hav~ approved this ameudment. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 25, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Adrninistrator.
