LATE MR. HOPKINS
“A GREAT AMERICAN” MR. CHURCHILL’S PRAISE (9.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 30. “A great American has gone from us and a strong, bright, fierce flame has burned out of a frail body,” said Mr. Winston Churchill in paying a tribute to the late Mr. Harry Hopkins. “Few know better than I the service he rendered to the world cause. President Roosevelt had a gift .of choosing generous, noble spirits to help him in peace and war. In Mr. Plopkins he found not only a man with a wide range of vision, but a piercing eye. “I have been present at several great conferences where discussion flagged and all seemed baffled. Mr. Hopkins would rap out a deadly question: ‘Surely, Mr. President, here is a point we have to settle. Are we going to face it or not?’ Faced it was and, being faced, was conquered.”
