CHINA OWES BILLIONS BUT HAS NO CREDITS
Can Get Neither Foreign Nor Domestic Loans Despite Serious Need
Pekin (By Mail to United Press)—China's inability to get a substantial loan, either foreign or domestic, at a time when she needs it seriously, is explained by a report of her financial status, compiled by Chinese and members of some of the legation staffs.
China owees in round numbers $2,
000,000,000, and of this total $440,
000,000 is unsecured, or the security
wholly inadequate.
The remainder is secured by the customs, such salt revenues as have not been seized by the provinces, the railroads and the telegraphs.
The largest single unsecured debt is to the Nishikawa banking group in Japan, which loaned, without asking security, $150,000,000 when the Anfu or pro-Japanese government was in power.
A year ago the unsecured loans did not exceed $200,000, but since that time the provinces have seized the cult fields. Wu Pel-fu seized the revenues of the Peking-Hankow railroad and Chang Te-lin seized the northwestern railroad. Wu Pel-fu also seized a portion of the telegraph revenues.
These government enterprises have had a measure of foreign supervision to insure reasonable efficiency, but the properties have been seized by the military despite the protests of foreign investors.
Just one good security remains, the customs. That course is under rigid foreign control and being established mainly in port cities accessible to foreign gunboats, is in little danger of seizure.
The customs is taxed to the present limit by foreign loans, only a small portion each month being available for the government. An increase of one and a half per cent is soon to go into effect, but more of this increase would be needed at the Conference agreement, must go for liquidating the foreign debts.
At the lowest estimate it requires $3,500 monthly to pay the country's bair administrative expenses and government headaches can find $1,800,000.
The military expenses must wait under any condition and this is nineteenth of the whole government expense of China.
He is "Housefather"
To Foreign Students
A "house-father" at the Cosmopolitan House! This rather unusual position is being handled by Carl T. Peters, the department of political science.
Mr. Finn had never heard of a house mother before coming here, as they are unknown at Ohio State University where his college days were spent. He seemed to be in his own words, so struck with the idea that he decided to become a "house-father."
At present there are in the house three Chinese, four Hindoos, one Japanese, one Greek, one American, the "house-father" and a number of Filipinos. The total number is twenty-two. Mr. Finn supervises the house, sees that the cleaning is done and that bills are paid.
The Cosmopolitan Club is now located at 1643 Indiana, in the house formerly owned and occupied by Dr. B. M. Alten. The Honoring House is University purchased the house which is continuing under its control.

The 1923 Jayhawker
"An Aristocrat of College Annuals"
Because of the rapid growth of Kansas State in recent years the managers of the various Jayhawkers have added many pages from time to time until last year the book contained 496 pages. Yet the managers have always felt themselves cramped for space in which to adequately mirror the many activities on Mount Oread.
The 1923 Jayhawker managers first sought a budget which would enable them to add at least one hundred more pages and three hundred more illustrations over the books published in past years.
The contracts with the engraver and the printer include these things. In addition this year each subscriber gets his name stamped in gold leaf on the cover of his Jayhawker free, providing he subscribed between the dates of October 2 to 12.
A glance at the plans for the 1923 Jayhawker will convince you that the book will be
