Bernard N. (“Barney”) Baruch
wants a job. Peace, he is convinced,
has hardships no less terrific than war,
for now that the war is over he is
out of work.
Millionaire though he is, adviser of
the president both in America and Eu
rope throughout the war, and intimate
associate of captains of Industry in
all parts of the world, the former
chairman of the war industries board
and financial adviser to the peace
conference is nevertheless looking for
a situation. And there are difficulties.
One of the chief difficulties is that
Mr. Baruch has reformed, he says.
For many years he was a gambler.
He publicly admitted it when he was
summoned as a witness in the famous
senate “leak” investigation, but the
weight of war and serious business
of life have reformed him. He never
again will be a gambler or dabble in
the uncertain affairs of Wall street.
Hence no stock brokers need apply fdr Baruch’s services. That gateway to
continued prosperity is closed to him.
“Shun politics and political jobs,” is his second resolution.

COMMITTEE IS
FAVORABLE
TO ALASKA
The outlook for favorable Alaska
legislation in the house of representa
tives could not be better if the friend
liness of a very capable committee on
territories counts for anything, ac
cording to George B. Grigsby. Alaska’s
delegate in congress.
Mr. Grigsby says the committee on
territories in the house is a very able
body of men. and its disposition is to
aid Alaska in every way possible. Rep
resentative Charles F. Curry of Sacra
mento, Cal., is chairman of the com
mittee, and Mr. Grigsby says he is the
right man in the right place as far as
Alaska is concerned. All the members
of the committee were very greatly
isappointed because things developed
at Washington which made it impos
sible for them to visit Alaska during
the past summer.
“Chairman Curry,” said Mr. Grigsby,
“is a thorough Westerner, broad
minded, understanding the needs of
a developing country, and very friendly
to Alaska. He wants the territory
opened up for development and the
accommodation of additional popula
tion. He is very much in earnest in
his desire to aid Alaska, and he may
be counted upon'to help in every way
that it is possible for him to be of
Mr. Grigsby also gives J. L. McPher
son, manager of the Alaska bureau of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
great credit for the passage of the
Alaska railroad appropriation bill.
“There was no answer to the state
ment made by Mr. McPherson review
ing the work that has been done on
the Alaska railroad and the work that
needs to be done there,” said Mr.
Grigsby. “He had the situation so
well in hand and presented it so
clearly that all charges and criticism
evaporated before it. The whole case
was presented so comprehensively
that opposition to allowing the $17,
000,000 was completely silenced.”
Mr. Grigsby is very hopeful of the
situation at Washington, and believes
the house committee on territories will
be able to get a good deal of very help
ful legislation through congress for
this territory.
