well de igned to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Indu trial Recovery Act including the removal of ob tructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to di mini h the amount thereof 1 and will provide for the o- neral 

welfare by promoting the orgamzation of indu try for the purpo e 

of cooperative action among trade o-roups, by indu ing an l maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate govrnmental sanction and supervision, by eliminatino- unfair omp titiv practice by promoting the fulle t po . ible utilization f the 

prec::ent productive capacity of indu trie by avoiding undu re triction of production (except as may b t mp raril. reqnir d) b. increasing the consumption of indu trial and agricultural products 

thr ugh incr a ing purchasing power, by r du ing and r lie ing 

unemployment by improving standard of labor, and by ther i e 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended compli in all r p ct with th p rtin nt provisions of aid Title of said Act in lu ling with ut limitation ub ection (a) of ection 3, Sub ction (a) of ection 7 and 

ub ti n (b) of Section 10 there f. 

( c) The Code mpowers the Code uthorit to pre nt the af resaid am ndments on behalf of the Indu try a a wh le.

(2)

( e) 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. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendments. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved these amendments. 

Respectfully, 

AUGUST 24, 1934.
