THE HURRICANE OF EVENTS
“For swift, unexpected and really momentous developments, Mr. Roosevelt’s eighth year eclipsed even his exciting first year. Due to the impact of the European war upon public opinion, well established principles were discarded and things which seemed impossible at the beginning of the year were accomplished fast at the close of the year.”
