REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT


The PRESIDENT,
 The White House.
 SIR: 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
Gas Cock Industry, submitted by the Code Authority for the said
Industry.
 The existing provision of Article XVIII, Section 1 of the Code.
for said Industry, is entirely inadequate in view of Executive Order
6678 and Administrative Order X-36, and it is therefore evident
that the proposed amendment to Article XVIII of said Code, the
provisions of which follow closely the text of the above mentioned
Orders, will overcome the existing inadequate provisions.
 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 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 maintain-
ing united action of labor and management under adequate govern-
mental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive
practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present
productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue restrictions
of production (except as may be temporarily required), by increas-
ing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through
increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemploy-
ment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitat-
ing industry.
 (b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation
Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and Sub-
section (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 enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
