Editorial: Welcome back, Mr. President!
The nation is happy over the President’s return to Washington after a month of richly earned vacation. He is reported tanned and rested.
During the winter and early spring, he suffered from the recurrent influenza, bronchitis and sinus infections which have afflicted so many Americans this year. But his physicians say he is now in good shape.
Hitherto the President’s great physical vigor, and ability to snap back after an illness, has been the marvel of a weary officialdom.
With the big offensive planned in Europe and the Pacific, not to mention labor troubles and other problems on the home front, the President will need every ounce of his strength.
Apart from his need for a physical rest, doubtless his absence from Washington has also given him new objectivity and perspective.
