The news of Roosevelt’s death reached Washington in the early afternoon on April
12, 1945. It is hardly necessary to point out the importance of Franklin D Roosevelt.
He was a world figure of monumental proportions. Roosevelt’s strength in dealing
with foreign leaders stemmed from his enormous popularity throughout the world, even
in countries he had never been in. Yet it cannot be said that he was a likable man.
He preferred informal relationships which were informal merely in structure. He
could not stand protocol in the accepted sense of the world but was quick to resent
the slightest departure from the respect normally accorded the President of the
United States, and the aura of the office was always around him. Even Hopkins was
always respectful and careful in his manner with the president. Roosevelt influenced
people by the fact that he was president. Among those who worked with him in the
white house for long periods of time, there was real affection for him, but not the
kind of human feeling that springs from personal love.
In foreign affairs, Roosevelt did his job only moderately well. The methods and
techniques that he usually used with consummate skill in domestic politics did not
fit well in foreign affairs. He relied on his instinctive grasp of the subject, which
was good, and his genius for improvisation to find solutions to problems. In domestic
affairs, where all elements were under the same national roof and there fore the
reactions had a pattern of similarity, this technique worked. In foreign affairs,
this style meant a lack of precision, which, as people have pointed out, was a serious
fault.
A deeper knowledge of history and certainly a better understanding of reactions of
foreign peoples would have been useful to the president. Helpful, too, would have
been more study of the position papers prepared by American conviction that the other
fellow is a “good guy”who will respond properly and decently if you treat him right.
Roosevelt did lead the United States out of its isolationism; he saw the menace of
Hitler long before most other American leaders. Without him, it is unlikely that
there would be the United Nations, which, as weak as it is, can be a useful forum
in world affairs. His greatest single mistake was his insistence on the doctrine
of unconditional surrender which probably lengthened the war by convincing the
Germans they should fight on and precluded the formation of a government that could
have negotiated with the Allies and possibly prevented the division of the country.
