'''Harry Hopkins''' (August 17, 1890 – January 29, 1946) was one of [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt|Franklin Delano Roosevelt]]'s closest advisors. He was one of the architects of the [[New Deal]], especially the relief programs of the [[FERA|Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA)]] in 1933-35 and the even larger  [[Works Progress Administration]] (WPA), (1935-43), which he directed and built into the largest employer in the country. In [[World War II]] he was Roosevelt's chief diplomatic advisor and troubleshooter and was a key policy maker in the $50 billion [[Lend Lease]] program that sent aid to the allies.  He was a leading domestic liberal of the 1930s, and concentrated during the war on lining up Britain, Russia and China to win the fight against Germany and Japan.

While working in the White House, how he received compensation is something of a mystery.

 

 

 

According to Mr. Felix Belair in an article in ''Life'', Postmaster General Walker, John D. Hertz, and other millionaire friends, raised a purse to pay Hopkins $5,000 a year as head of Franklin D. Roosevelt's library at [[Hyde Park]]. When the [[Lend Lease]] act was voted the President arranged a $10,000 a year salary for Hopkins under the Lend Lease program. During this period Tom Beck, the head of the CrowellCollier Publishing Company, began paying him $5,000 a piece for seven or eight articles in the American Magazine over a period of several years for articles written in Hopkins name.  In the meantime, he had moved into the White House where he enjoyed the additional privilege of free board and lodging. His second wife had died and his daughter by this marriage lived with him in the White House. When Hopkins and his third wife later moved to Georgetown, his daughter, after remaining with them a while, went back to the White House. Mrs. Roosevelt writes how she fretted about the lonely life of this child and spoke to Hopkins about it. He said to her: "That's totally unimportant. The only thing that is important is to win the war." He found plenty of time, however, to pursue at intervals his favorite forms of diversions in the night clubs of New York and Washington.
