...economic advantage. Last March FORTUNE pointed up the issue in an article setting forth the primary facts of the world arms trade. Editors found the peace-hungry public liked it and the headlines grew. In Congress Senators Nye and Vandenberg proposed an investigation, got nowhere.

With his familiar eye-rolling and handclapping, Eddie Cantor prances through a dull, uninspired musical comedy extravaganza "Kid Millions" at Loew's Orpheum this week. The picture follows approximately the same comedy lines as did its predecessors, Eddie Cantor plays the same type of part and sings the same manner of songs, and as before myriads of luscious girls are whisked past the camera's lens in baffling geometric designs.
