Eric Johnston, president of the US Chamber of Commerce and MPAA:

"We'll have no more Grapes of Wrath, we'll have no more Tobacco Roads. We'll have no more films that show the seamy side of American life. We'll have no pictures that deal with labor strikes. We'll have no pictures that deal with the banker as villain."

    Oh yeah I forgot it doesn't say who wrote it anywhere. Pretty funny that they approached her for this tbh. I have a theory that she constructed her whole philosophy to justify leaving her family in Russia after they paid for her to leave (not that it was bad to be in Russia but I'm pretty sure she was supposed to raise money so they could join her)
