ARMISTICE DAY TO
;e OF PEACE
Proclamation Makes No
vember 11 Legal Holiday
Urges People to Reflect
Washington. Oct. 17. (AP)
Proclaiming November 11 as
Armistice Day, President Roose
velt asserted today it was ap
propriate for the American peo
ple to reflect upon the hour
"when the voices of war were
silenced and to look forward
even now to a time when a
just and enduring peace shall
be established among all the
peoples of the earth."
The proclamation, issued at
a time when Europe is engaged
in conflict, commented on the
"tragic situation in which
the world finds Itself today, with
the destructive forces of war
once again unleashed."
The President acted in accord
ance with an act of congress,
passed in 1926, requesting the
chief executive to issue an Arm
istice proclamation. An act in
1938 provided that each Novem
ber 11 shall be "dedicated to
the cause of world peace." and
made a legal public holiday.
Text of President Roosevelt's
proclamation follows:
By the President of the United
States A Proclamation:
Whereas twenty-one years ago,
on November 11, 1918, the na
tions then engaged in the World
war agreed to an armistice ter
minating hostilities; and
Whereas senate concurrent
resolution 18, sixty-ninth con
gress, passed June 4, 1926 (44
Stat. 1982), reads in part:
"That the President of the
United States is requested to
issue a proclamation calling up
on the officials to display the
flag of the United States on all
government buildings on No
vember 11 and inviting the peo
ple of the United Stales to ob
serve the day in schools and
churches, or other suitable
places, with appropriate cere
monies expressive of our grati
tude for peace and our desire
for the continuance of friendly
relations with all other pco
pies."
And the act approved May 13,
1938 (52 Stat. 351), provides
that the 11th day of November
in each year, a day to be dedi
cated to the cause of world peace
and to be hereafter celebrated
and known as Armistice Day, is
hereby made a legal public holi
day"; and
Whereas, in the tragic situa
tion in which the world finds
itself today, with the destruc
tive forces of war once again
unleashed, it is appropriate for
the people of the United States
to reflect upon that hour of No
vember 11, 1918, when the
voices of war were silenced, and
to look forward even now to a
time when a just and enduring
peace shall be established among
all the peoples of the earth:
Now, therefore, I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, President of the
United States of America, do
hereby direct that on November
11, 1939, the flag of the United
States be displayed on all gov
ernment buildings, and I invite
the people of the United States
to observe the day in schools
and churches or other suitable
places, with appropriate ceremonies.
In witness whereof. I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States of
America to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washing
ton this 16th day of October,
in the year of Our Lord nine
teen hundred and thirty-nine,
and of the Independence of the
United States of America the
one hundred and sixty-fourth.
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
(Seal.)

Cordell Hull,
Secretary of State.
