THI S very wise, dear visioned man led his nation successfully through her greatest peril, and died in the moment of her greatest triumph, having Sacrificed his life in the

service of his people.

To this man, more than to any other individual in the world, the democracies of the Pacific owe the fact that to-day they are free, and their future secure.

Not only in American history, but upon the hearts of the free peoples of the world, it will be recorded that Franklin Roosevelt was a very great President, and one of the greatest humanitarians that ever lived.

Without his help, gener ously given in her darkest hour, Great Britain might have gone down to disaster and enslavement.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 12 years President of the United States, who died suddenly on April 12.
