Dec. 10, 1932 UNIVERSAL WEEKLY ■ — NAIL A LIE versal does. Nobody realizes more than we do the necessity of doing away with frict on and ironing out all difficulties as speedily as possible. Unfortunately^ on the fringe of every business^ including ours^ there are certain ones who prefer discord to harmony because it appeals to their selfish interests. Such men should have no influence in the important affairs of the motion picture business. They should be thrown out bodily. Universars record on the proposed new contract is perfect. We have done everything to clear the way toward harmony. The only exceptions we have taken to the proposals have been based on plain^ common sense and a desire to make a contract which is honest and enforceable. You and I depend on each other. You are as necessary to me as I am to you, no more and no less. Our interests are common. I am willing to sign any contract that is equitable. So are you. I am unwilling to sign any contract that is one-sided. So are you. This is not stalling, on your part or on mine. Don't be befuddled by lies, conceived in either ignorance or malice. I've got a record of 27 years of decency in this business. Past performances count. I'll stack Universal's against anybody's.
