dent ut e r d those inaugural
promises than he began to aston

In 1. few hours he had called
Congress into session, closed every

the public response which gave
him - through Congress - vast
emergency powers in subsequent

almost invariably stirs up a ter

And the secret of Roosevelt is
this: Never was president as re-

lar desire, more adept at appealing
to public opinion for ublic support,
as convincing in his effort for the
masses as we'll as the classes of
