In this note, we prove through a short and direct argument, that in le
ft pure semisimple local rings, the two-sided ideals are principal. In
particular, these rings are left (resp. right) uniserial if and only
if they are left (resp. right) due. As a corollary we obtain that if a
ring is a counter-example to the pure semisimple conjecture, then it
cannot be a duo ring.
