Tomorrow Alaska pays tribute to its first and best “trader”—William Henry Seward, the man who purchased for the United States at a price of $7,200,000 the Territory of Alaska which since has paid in dividends to the “stockholders” something over two billion dollars. Not a bad deal as everyone admits now, but it was frowned upon at the time and even brilliant men of the day labeled it a folly. “Seward's Folly” it became traditionally known, but Trader Seward also was a man of foresight for he predicted, “it may take two generations before the purchase appreciated.” Again he wasn't wrong, for full ap- preciation of Seward’s business acumen has become universal only in recent years. It was just 68 years ago tonight William Seward, then Secretary of State in the Cabinet of President Johnson, began his big deal which was finally closed after some good trading at 3 a.m. the morning of March 30, 1867. The Secretary was at home in his residence in the national capital »laying a game of whist on that memorable evening, historians tell us. The deal for Russian America as it was then known had been pending for some time. On this whist playing evening, the Russian Minister was announced at the Seward home with an import- ant message. “I have a dispatch from my cable,” he said. “The Emp: the cessation of Russian America. come to the State Department and upon a treaty.” government by eror gives his consent to Tomorrow I will we will enter 1{ Again Seward revealed his qualities as a great trader. “Why wait?” he asked. “Let us begin with the treaty right no Through the hours of the night they dickered, the Yankee trader and the Russian seller. The Russlan's price was ten million and Seward count- ered with an offer of five million. The in-between offers and counter proposals probably never will be known but here were good traders on a “deal” so they probably were many and varied. Finally a seven million dollar figure was reached, with a reservation. The Russian Fur Company held some franchises and privileges that would have to be bought off. Seward offered $200,000 more for clear title and the Alaska purchase was made. With apprcaching dawn of Saturday, March 30, 1867, the treaty was signed and Secretary Seward had bought something. What a time he had convincing the United States Senate it was something worth the price. “An inhospitable, wretched, and God-forsaken region,” the opposition labeled the vast country Seward had just bought. Less than two cents an acre was the price but they argued it was too| much.

Baruch with a plan which, if actually carried out, probably would not only {take the profit out but end war entirely. Pay-as-you-go said Mr. Baruch, who knows some- | thing about this war business, having been Chair-| man of the Industries Board during the World War. 1 Some members of the Senate Committee have even hinted that Mr. Baruch knows too much about wars and their profits to which the latter has taken sharp exception, declaring he is fed up with in-| nuendoes. But aside from Mr. Baruch's personal tilt with| the Senators, he seems to have given the solons a| mouthful of good advice. Pay-as-you-go would not| only take profit out of fighting, as the former war time chairman points out, but it probably would keep most nations from going to war in the first place, or, at least, not tarrying at it long when ' funds become low for buying ammunition. Mr. Baruch is not only an astute politician but an able financier. He knows: when you want to | stop something the surest plan is to cut off credit.| ‘T’he place to end war, like a great many other things, is at the pocket book. The pay-as-you-go plan, while usually a little foreign to most poli- | ticians, is something for the Senators to seriously mull over. | A New Role for Ruth. ! (New York Herald Tribune.) The glamorous Babe Ruth has worn the uniform of the New York Yankees for the last time. After fifteen years here and nearing the end of s active playing days he has been permitted by Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, to go to Boston as executive and part-time player with the National League club of that city. Local Ruth admirers will in most cases regard his departure with mixed emotions. His personality will be missed at the stadium in the years to come, and so the threat that always lurked in his mighty war club. Some one has said that it is more thrilling to watch Ruth strike out than to watch another ball player hit a home run, and this is scarcely an exaggeration. No one who has 2ver felt the tremor that runs through the crowd when the Babe aproaches the plate will question it, nor will any one who has witnessed the Homeric quality and proportions of his home-run driv The long-standing debate as to whether Ruth or the great Ty Cobb ranks as the outstanding indi- vidual player in the history of the game will con- tinue no doubt down the years, but on one point there is little room for argument: The Bake has undoubtedly brought more drama to the game and more dollars to the gate than any other player. Though they will miss him here, Ruth's many admirers will be gratified to learn of the terms of |the arrangement under which he returns to the town where he first played major-league baseball. {He will play presumably as often as he feels like playing and at the same time he is to have the opportunity which he has long sought to learn the managerial side of the game. It is a credit to the good sense of baseball that it has solved so happily this thorny problem of keeping in the game its greatest idoi at a time when his regular playing days have virtually come to an end.
