In the 1930s, although he was an early supporter of the Republican presidential nominees, [[Alf Landon]] in 1936, and [[Wendell Willkie]] in 1940, White wrote many editorials praising the social and economic reforms of President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]. After World War II started, while the U.S. was still neutral, White became chairman of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, and helped rally the public behind Roosevelt's program of extending aid to Britain even at the risk of war with Germany. On January 29, 1944, White died in Emporia, widely hailed as a symbol of the greatness of small-town America
