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.
With a normal increaae the college

Yet there are eighty senators who
are for a treaty in some form. They
wojld find a way, if .they had the aid

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.

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. !
