Franklin D. Eoosevelt once said
“we have nothing to fear but fear
itself.” Yesterday we, as a group,
as a country, felt a deep and sincere
loss. "VVe have lost our leader. We
have undoubtedly lost one of the
truly great men of all history. We
feel this loss, we feel it deeply, and
we realize that his death leaves a
victorious counti^y without the strong
leader who has carried us from the
“day that will live in infamy” when
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to the
day when American forces approach
closer and closer to Berlin and take
islands nearer and nearer to Japan.
Yesterday, a great man gave his life
for his country. .
However, he has laid the ground
work for victory, and we know that
it is now in sight; he has also laid
the groundwork for peace, and we
know that his memory and his in
fluence will still preside over the
peace table. America cannot, Amer
ica will not break the trust that this
man has put in us. For his memory,
and the memory of all the insignifi
cant men who have died also for
their country, we will not fail.
Flags all over the nation, Ameri
can ])ossessions, and Allied countries
now fly at half mast. So do the
hearts of the civilized world.
