INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT CORPORATION v. CASCO PRODUCTS CORPORATION.
    No. 166, Docket 21151.
    United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.
    March 30, 1949.
    
      Boardman, Stoddard & McCarthy and Edward J. McCarthy, all of Bridgeport, Conn., for appellant.
    Goldstein & Peck, Arthur M. March, and Bernard S. Peck, all of Bridgeport, Conn., for appellee.
    Before L. HAND, Chief Judge, and SWAN and FRANK, Circuit Judges;1
   FRANK, Circuit Judge.

We agree with the opinion of the district judge. Attempting to answer his reasoning, plaintiff in this court advanced an argument,- apparently not made in the district court, to the effect that the words “for any cause” in the second sentence of Paragraph Twelfth of the contract limit the application -of that sentence- to a cancellation “for cause,” i.e., by the plaintiff under Paragraph Fourteen or by the defendant under Paragraph Nineteen. Considering the contract as a whole, we think such an interpretation unreasonably strained and that those words mean “for any reason pursuant to any provision of the contract.”

Affirmed.
