Franklin Delano Rooszvelt was great because of the simple yet digniâ€" fied and courazgeous life which made him an outstanding leader. The lats president spoke the language his people knew and understood. In times of crisis and anxiety he steered the course <through very troubled waters with a quist confidence and unshakâ€" able faith whith inspired and encourâ€" aged the people, not only of his own country, but 6f Canada and the Britâ€" ish Empire as well as the smaller and less fortunate countrics of the allied nations.‘ Although quiet he was reâ€" solute. One of the late president‘s amâ€" bitions in life. was to live as a country squire, ‘far from the publicity and strain of governmental affairs and the White House, but d:stiny decreed it otherwise and he the th‘râ€" tyâ€"second president of a great nation. Despite © physical handicaps which would have discouraged many, he exâ€" ecuted his duties faithfully and well, working and dying for the cause Of freedom,_pearc> and justice. â€"In peacetime, as in war, FPranklin Delano Roosevelt persistently strove for a bettor:world for the underprivilâ€" eged andsuppressed peoples and it is probably for his humanitarianism as much aAs his rank as a fourth term president that his passing has caused 5o m{ch sinczsre regret throughout the world.
