I ask you to keep your faith." . . . THESE words are taken from the last public ^ address to be prepared by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The address was to have l>een delivered 1>\ radio to the Jefferson Day dinners scheduled for Saturday night,- April 14. The dinners were not held, for, on the sunny afternoon of April 12, in the village of Warm Springs, CiaL, the mortal lips of the principal speaker were forever stilled. It is fitting that the word "Faith" should appear among the last words of the great man who was our President through twelve of the most fearful years in history. Had he not learned the meaning of faith through the painful and the then almost hopeless effects of infantile paralysis that struck him low in full manhood? Who else but one who had found personal faith _ could have led this nation through the valley of doubt we call "The Depression" and upward to the activated social consciousness? And now, the faith that brought us through depression is bring ing us through war and nearer and nearer to the time when the peoples of the world shall learn to live together in peace. Had our Commander-in-Chief known that this was to be. his last order to his people, we think he would have let it stand: "I ask you to keep your faith." Man From Missouri IT MUST he a difficult thing for any man elected * to the high responsibility of President of the United States to so conduct himself on his first day in office as to inspire confidence among both po litical friends and enemies. Vet. President Harry S. Truman, on whom the mantle fell so unexpect edly, has done just that. Welcome to the waiting nation and our allies was the statement that the new administration was pledged to "no change of purposes or break in con tinuity" with foreign policy established by Presi dent Roosevelt. The precedent shattering gesture of President Truman in going to the capitol for a luncheon con ference with congressional leaders. Republicans included, was a gracious thing. It creates the feel ing that here is a friendly man with whom even those of divergent political philosophies will work for the common good. Arriving at the White House at 9:00 o'clock on the dot President Truman went to the oval execu tive offices where conferences were held with Sec retary of State Stettinius and the war chiefs. Per haps one of the most reassuring meetings of the day was with the recently resigned War Mobilizer James F. Byrnes, who flew from his home in Spar tanburg. S. C. to offer his services as a private citizen. In a 'hall of the capitol the President saw a group of reporters well known to him. After thanking them for their good wishes he said in humble sin cerity, "Boys, if you ever' pray, pray for me now." It was an anspicious first day.
