THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION ISSUED
The president's proclamation which refers to the fact
that the United States is at peace while the rest of the
world is at war. follows:
“ By the President of the United States of America.
“A proclamation: '
“ It has long been the honored custom of our people
to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many blessings
and mercies to us as a nation. The year that is now
drawing to a close since we last observed our day of
national thanksgiving has been, while a year of dis­
cipline because fo the mighty forces of war and of
change which have disturbed the world, also a year of
special blessing for us.
“ It has been vouchsafe to us to remain at peace, with
honor, and in some part to succor the suffering and
supply the needs of those who are in want. We have
been privileged by our own peace and self control in
some degree to steady the counsels and shape the hopes
and purposes of a day of fear and distress. Our people
have looked upon their own life as a nation with deep­
er comprehension, a fuller realization of their responsi­
bilities as well as of their blessings and a keener sense
of the moral and practical significance of what their
part among the nations of the world may come to be.
“ The hurtful effects of the foreign war in their own
industrial and commercial affairs have made them feel
the more fully and see the more clearly their mutual in­
terdependence upon one another and has stirred them
to a hopeful co-operation such as they have seldom
practiced before. They have been quickened by a great
moral stimulation. Their unmistakable ardor for peace,
their earnest pity and disinterested sympathy for those
who are suffering, their readiness to help and to think
of the needs of others, has revealed them to themselves
as well as to the world.
“ Our crops will feed all who need food; the self
possession of our people amidst the most serious anxiet­
ies and difficulties and the steadiness and resourceful­
ness of our business men will serve other nations as
well as our own.
“The business of the country has been supplied with
instrumentalities and the commerce of the world with
new channels of trade and intercourse. The Panama
canal has been opened to the commerce of the nations.
The two instrumentalities of international trade have
been created which will be also new instrumentalities
of acquaintance, intercourse and mutual service. Never
before have the people of the United States been so
situated for their own advantage or the advantage of
their neighbors or so equipped to serve themselves and
mankind.
“Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of
the United States of America, do hereby designate
Thursday, the twentysixth of November next as a day
of thanksgiving and prayer and invite people through­
out the land to cease from their wonted occupations and
in their several homes and places of worship render
thanks to Almighty God.
“ In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
“ Done at the City of Washington, this twenty-eighth
day of October in the year of Our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and fourteen and of the Independence of
the United States of America the one hundred and
thirty-ninth.
“ WOODROW WILSON,
“ By the president.
ROBERT LANSING,
“ Acting Secretary of State.”
