Members of the supreme court, the cabinet and of congress, as well as high ranking army and navy officials, besides diplomatic representatives of most foreign governments, were in attendance. Roosevelts neighbors of many years, to whom the stone and stucco mansion in which he was born and the century old rose garden in which his body rests were familiar objects of local pride, were out in numbers. President Harry S. Truman, who had served as vice president and succeeded Mr. Roosevelt as president, paid a glowing tribute to his predecessor, the only person who had been elected four times to the presidency of this republic; but the outstanding tribute came from the secretary general of the United Nations, broadcast all over the world by the man who holds the key position in the organization upon which the peace of mankind and the survival of civilization must depend Trygve Lie, the great Scandinavian diplomat and patriot: On this solemn anniversary of the death of the great president of the United States of America, Franklin D. Roosevelt hero of war and architect of peace I wish to add my small tribute to his memory and to his accomplishments for all mankind. It is my hope that the works of the United Nations will represent a fulfillment of the aims and ideals of Roosevelt. For he was one of the foremost of those who gave life and being to the concept of the United Nations. His vision of world peace and well being is the goal toward which the United Nations now strive. We humbly acknowledge our debt to him and our responsibility to his memory.
