REPORT TO TI-IE PRESIDENT 

n e PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: On August 19, 1933, you approved the Code of Fair Competition for the Lumber and Timber Products Industrie . This is a report on Amendments Nos. 62, 63 and 6-:1: to that Code, 

Public Hearing on which was conducted in Washington D.C. beginning March 27, 1934. These amendments will (a) clarify the 

nature of the products under the Wooden Package Division of the 

Code, (b) eliminate the overlapping of jurisdiction in certain of the 

subdivisions under that Division; and ( c) include certain items, 

particularly wooden veneer baskets, which logically belong under 

these subdivisions but which are not included in the list of products 

as at present written. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendments 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 amendments to said Code and the Code as amended are 

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

the National In lustrial Recovery Act including the removal of 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign 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 

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair 

competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of 

the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue 

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

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing 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 Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

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

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

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

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic proce shave not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendments. 

For these reasons, therefore, I h ave approved these amendments to 

the Code. 

Respectfully, 

JUNE 19, 1934.
