were flown For the state to open the gate to the
president of these United States In fact everybody
was glad to welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad

We are privileged to see the democratic president
of the great republic With his charming and genial
personality and his wonderful urbanity We were
struck by his modest style and we were intrigued
by the famous Roosevelt smile No wonder why
everybody was glad to welcome Roosevelt to
Trinidad

Now we understand that the president has just been
on a visit to Brazil and the Argentine Mr. Cordell
Hull in attendance they took part in a peace
conference To stop war and atrocity and make the
world safe for democracy The greatest event in the
century in the interest of suffering humanity
