Sm : This is a report on the amen lment of the Supplementary 

Code of Fair Competition for the Radio Wholesaling Trade as 

approved by me on April 21, 1934. Applicn/ion was made undf>r 

date of July 13, 1934, by the Divisional Code Authority for the 

Radio ""\Vholesaling Trade, for amendment of the provisions of 

Article III, Section 6, of the Code. Fair notice of opportunity t-o 

file objections to this amendment was given to all interested parties. 

This amendment was drawn up and propo ed in accordance with 

Executive Order No. 6678, dated April 14, 1934, and with the Legal 

Division 's suggested wording for such amendm0 nts. It is intended 

:o govern the collection of assessments for code aruninistration by 

the Radio 1Vholesaling Trade. 

This amendment does not in any way affect the labor provisions 

of the Supplementary Code or anything other than assessment for 

expenses of code administration. 

The Deputy Aaministrator in hi final r eport to me on said amendment to sail Supplementary Code having found as herein set forth, 

untl on the basis of all the proceedings in this ml'ltter; 

I find that : 

(a) The amendment to said Supplementary Code and the Supplementary Code as amended are well designed to promote the policie and purposes of Title I of the rational Industrial Recovery 

Act including the remo\al of ob tructions to the fr e flow of interstate and foreign omme.:·ce which t end t limini ·h the amount 

thereof, and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the 

organization of industry for the purpose of cooperative action 

among trade group , by inducing an l maintaining united action of 

labor and management under adequate- governmental sanction and 

supervision, by eliminating unfair competitiYe 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 agFicultural products through increasing purchasing 

power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving 

standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

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

with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including 

without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 5, Subsection (a) of 

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

(c) The Code e~9owers the Divisional Code Authority to present 

the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Trade as a whole. 

( d) The amendment and the Supplementary Code as amended are 

not designed to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic 

practices. 

(2) 
3 

( 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, I have approved this amendment to the Supplementary Code of Fair Competition :for the Radio "\Vholesaling Trade. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMilER 1, 1934.
