Albany College aa Aaart to Albany We know the Albany College la a valuable aaaet to Albany but it la intereating to know Just how much la brought into thia city annually by the College. In looking over the treas urera report I find the average amount apent annually In the city of Albany by Albany College la $15,000 Thla aum waa paid out fora aalariea, telephone, water, light, printing, la bor, fuel, repaira all entirely local itema. In addition to thia aum we ahould take Into conalderation the amount of money brought into the city by the living expenaea of the atudenta. Tak ing the living expenaea of Tremont Hall aa a baaia I find that each out aide atudent bringa into Albany an average of $400 a year. In the pres ent Student Body there . are aome thirty outaide atudenta, each bringing $400 or a total of $12,000 into Al bany, apent by the atudenta alone out aide of tuition which la included in the receipt of the college proper.

Tail Wag Dog Yet there are eighty senators who are for a treaty in some form. They wojld find a way, if .they had the aid or content of the White House. But ttubbomness and silence rule there, and nothing is or can be done. Meanwhile, the senatorial tail, in the hands of Johnson and Borah, is wagging the entire dog. Oregonian.

Jomal. RETU RXINO SHANTUNG Immediately upon the formal declaration at Paris that the peace treaty was in effect, the Japanes government noti fied the Chinese government that Japan was ready to ne gotiate for the return of the Shantung rights taken over From Germany. This s precisely in accordance with the Shantung stipulation in the peace treaty and the more definite verbal assurance given by the Japanese delegation at the peace conference. Having thus promptly started the process of transferring Shantung back to China, Japan may reason ably expect the world to take her pledges as snccre, and to have faith in their fulfillment. This move has a direct and wholesome bearing on Japanese-American relations, and also upon the American atti tude toward the peace treaty. It is observable that the, Shantung controversy, which raged so violently a fewi months ago, has died down lately partly, perhaps, from a growing realization that Shantung was not one of the main Issues of the treaty, and partly from a growing belief that Japan would keep faith with her allies and do the decent; thing. The more she hastens this restoration, and the more ' generously she interprets her own promise to .China, the more she will help the cause of world-democracy and the more she herself will gain in the long run. ! o 1 The price of rags has dropped.
