EDITORIAL BOOSTING GOOD WORK It has been suggested that The Daily News should desist from "boosting Olof Hanson," Liberal candidate for this riding. The Dailv News nronoses to continue to tell the facts as they are. It is well known here that had it not been for the visit to Ottawa of Mr. Hanson and the efforts he madej there, the floats would not have been secured. The can-1 didate is making himself very active and it is good for the constituency that he is doing so. We shall be glad to record any further activities that benefit the city. In telling of this, we are not making light of any efforts Mr. Brady may make. He also has been active, doubtless, but unfortunately ho is placed in a position where he is not able to do effective work, although he undoubtedly advertises the city well. It was the voluntary work of Mr. Hanson that did the work. The suggestion has been made that The Daily, News is being paid by Mr. Hanson to give him publicity. That, we deny in toto. Mr. Hanson has never even suggested any-hing in regard to jwy. Newspapers do not take pay for ,'iving the news to the district, although they are always ,'lad to sell advertising to anyone, as long as it is honest advertising. We shall also be glad to tell of anything Mr. Brady doo Ve have done so in the past and shall do the same again vhenever opportunity offers. Yesterday .

The size of the bill was not announced officially, but it was said generally that it had a present value of from ten to twelve and a half billion dollars, calling for anuities over a period of 58 years, totalling about $24,000,000,000.

In an atmosphere of doubt and uncertainty the league preparatory commission on disarmament meets again Monday. The commission will have before it the major problems of disarmament which, in one form or another, have been before members of the league since, in the formal terms of the covenant, they recognized that "the maintenance of peace requires the reduction of national armament to the lowest point consist-. ent with national safety and the enforcement by common action of international obligations."
