I Legacy of Courage M, t - r Of the whole legacy of memorable spoken by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the course phrases of his public life, it is doubtful that any will be remembered longer or recalled oftener than the courageous and challenging statement in his first inaugural address: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Never did this country have more need of courage and confidence than on that bleak March day in 1933. And never did the words of one man have a more immediate and stimulating effect. Everywhere the words were repeated, and everywhere people saw, for the first time in months, a ray of hope shine through confusion and despair. This defiance of fear was more than a prescription for the countrys economic ills of the moment. It was a distinguishing mark of President Roosevelts life. He refused to quail before the onslaught of a crippling illness, before the attacks of adversaries or the incredible burden of cares and responsibilities which finally crushed him. . I The description which Franklin Ropsevelt coined for AI Smith was even more applicable to himself. He was truly a Happy Warrior. He never dodged a fight when a fight was inevitable. He exulted in the battle, whether for health or the ideals be believed in or for victory in arms. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. The American people will have many occasions to remember those words in the future. And with them they will be remembering the essence of the warm, winning, courageous spirit who uttered them. nt 1909.

' At Yalta something along that line was agreed to by Roosevelt personally. And when he returns a directive to that effect was ste to the state, war and navy departments, plus the interior department which administers insular possessions. But when the representative of these four departments sat down to work out the details for carrying out the , presidents directive two departments the army and navy-kic- ked over the traces. The third, the state department, went along reluctantly, leaving only the interior' department to obey the di rective Finally, Admiral Ernest King, commander of the fleet, took things into his own hands and made a public statement against the presidents policy regarding Pacific islands. In other words, he went over the head of hia commander-in-chie- f. Although this was a most serioua thing to do even domestically, its international repercussions were even more serious. The Russians, whose intelligence is the best In the world, alcrsdy knew that Admiral King is the man who has wanted to build up n big navy now as protection against Russia Inter. They also know that Admiral King has opposed Russia coming into the war against Japan, and wants the United States to do this Job whole-heartedl- y. alone. The Russians also know that a certain number of profession u T S. military and naval brass-hat- s, side with King. (This Is not true of General Marshal ler General Eisenhower and the more responsible commanders o' the U. S. army.) And the unfortunate fact la that this probably has played into the hands of the Russian generals who are needling Stalin. RUSSIAN HISTORY MAY REPEAT Information as to what goes on inside Russia is always difficult, but there has been Increasing suspicion of late that Stalin does not control his own generals. This is what has happened repeatedly in Russian history. When the generals built themselves up in wartime, they dominated the czar. And today, the men who once were strong In the ' Soviet have much less to say. ExrForelgn Minister Lltvinoff, a great believer in international cooperation ,ia now completely out of the picture. Foreign Minister Molotoff has less authority. The generals, in turn, are considered responsible for the previous policy of having a messenger-bo- y ambassador who they could easily control at San Francisco. Also, it is strongly suspected that thoy Stalins demands that the U. S. Ninth army retire from the Berlin suburbs on April 13 so the Red army could enter first. Tragedy Is that gome U. S. war chiefs, by going over the White House heads, are strengthening the Red generals' hand. The Russians are a suspicious people anyway. And meanwhile, the state department, together with the old Cleve-de- n set in England which wanted to bleed both England and Russia white, have aireai quietly gone about plana to rebuild Germany as a bulwark against Russia. Thus the seeds for future peace or war are Prof. Merrill pointed out that we being planted before this war is wont have peace unless the three ended.
