...indicated from the program of expanding Soviet heavy industries ("to catch up with and surpass the U. S." as Stalin once put it) to concentrate at once on light industries. These would make shoes, clothing, farm implements, sewing machines and simple necessities like needles for which Soviet peasants clamor. From light industries would also come readily salable articles which Russia could "dump" abroad, thus further redressing her trade balance, bolstering her credit...
...Navy. He accused him of "congenital pacifism." He loudly deplored the London agreement, which required the U. S. to put part of its auxiliary naval strength into small 6-in.-gun cruisers, as a "surrender to the British."

...title, chosen as a boxoffice catch-penny, is misleading; but no matter, for here is a picture that without clamor, without pretension, attains what "The Crowd" and "Street Scone" sought begging. Humbly and with humor it tells in simple language its story of the tenements, of a wise-guy radio clerk (James Dunn) and the girl (Sally Ellers) who loves him. Knit closely by the interest created in these characters, and sustained throughout by succeeding moments of tension, "Bad Girl" possesses the signal merit of concentration found wanting in the Vidor productions...
