HARRY S TRUMAN DEATH OF CHARLES EVANS HUGHES BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION To the People of the United States: The Nation has lost one of its most preeminent elder sages. Charles Evans Hughes, who died at Osterville, Massachusetts, last night, will be counted in the long perspective of history not only as one of the most highly esteemed statesmen of our time, but indeed as among the most distinguished of the men who have devoted themselves to the public weal since the origin of our country. Humanitarian understanding, exalted vision, and inspired judgment characterized the long career of Charles Evans Hughes, who served the people of New York State as Governor and the people of the Nation as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, as Secretary of State, and as Chief Justice of the United States. The whole world needs and will continue to need statesmen and citizens capable of viewing the march of events objectively and adhering firmly to the reasonable and just. In view of that need, we should all long remember this superb example of a life dedicated to reason and to justice in human affairs. NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be flown at half mast on all Government buildings until after August 28. 1948 [No. 20B61 FlagofU.S.tobe flown at half-mast on Governmnt build- ings 62 STAT.] 1551
