From his second term the people were told that Roosevelt was the only man who could keep the US out of war.

Then it was said that he was the only man who was capable of facing [[Josef Stalin]] on equal terms. Finally, he was said to be the only man who could guarantee against the ruthlessness of Stalin in the post-war era.
