SINCERELY F. D. R.
Very few men of history
have given to the world
such personal attention,
for the good of all, as our
late President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt.
Autobiographies, obitu
aries, and speeches will be
read and heard these next
few days, and memorials
will be held in honor of a
truly great man. A man
who gave his mind and
body without reservation,
to the good of his country.
—• Roosevelt was not in the
favor of all Americans, al
though the majority
agreed with the general
plan of action, not all ap
proved of his revolution
ary methods.
When history is written,
Roosevelt will have a num
ber of “firsts” to his credit.
He was the first Ameri
can to serve more than the
customary two terms, and
was elected to even a
fourth term of which he
served one month and
eight days.
He was one of the most
popular Presidents ever to
occupy the Whitehouse.
Other nations looked to
Roosevelt and the United
States for which- he stood,
to help them out of their
difficulties, and supply a
remedy for their failings,
both governmental and ec
onomic.
The Chief Executive of
the United States, through
his untiring efforts, be
came the central figure of
the 30 or more United Na
tions, lending the weight
of his experience freely
and with untiring effort
until the last.
Following World War I,
Roosevelt began to attract
the attention of world
; leaders by his revolution
; ary ideas, and remedies for
; the economically sick and
; troubled world nations.
; His ideas, at least some
; of them, were so radical
i and such a change, that
some of his followers, stal
wart party leaders gave
him up as something incor
rigible, beause they could
not agree or understand.
Great minds are like
that. Many lesser minds
cannot grasp the ideas or
meaning of theories or
plans which come out of
the ability to “see” into the
future and to plan there
for.
Though the world has
lost a truly great interna
tional statesman, we are
; not going to let the grief of
our loss overshadow the
fact that civilization, al
though better for his hav
ing been with us, will go
on, taking advantage of
the ways in which he has
guided his nation through
difficulties, and assisted
other nations with his ad
vices and conferences.
The story is clearly pic
tured, as the new Presi
dent, Harry S. Truman,
! took office, asking Mrs.
Roosevelt if he could do
anything to help, she re
plied, “Nothing, but what
can we do for you.”
The reins have now been
handed over to our 32nd
President, Harry S. Tru
! man.
Sincerity was the key
note of every move made
by the late President of
the United States, Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt.
No man could have put
so much effort into a pro
ject in which he had only a
partial belief was the right
way. Many were antago
nistic at first but soon
found out that conditions
generally did improve un
der the efforts of the
strong, sincere mind of
F.D.R., and finally were
led to believe that they
were years behind the
times, and that isolation
from international, and
even home problems, could
never again be considered.
All future planning must
j include the world, was the
firm belief of Mr. Roose
velt. We can do well to fol
low his advice.
