Says AVe Have Been Able to
Assert Our Rights While ;: v:'
; Preserving Peace.'
V Washington,1 'Oct.-V'$3. -President
. Wilson today, in a proclamation desigf
i nating Thursday, ; November 25, as
f Thanksgiving uay, calls attention, to
the fact that the United' States has
been at peace while most of Europe
has been at war. The text follows:-
"It has long been the honored cus-,
torn of our people. to turn in the fruit-
'ful autumn of the,year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God .for His
a nation. "" ,.-'iZ' ' -- -:---' 1
"The year that is now drawing to a.
close since we last --observed our day!
of national r Thanksgiving has ' been,
while a year of discipline because ' of
the .mighty forces of . war ' and of
changes which' havs disturbed the
world, also a year ofV special blessing
for us. j . - - .
"Another year of peace has been
.vouchsafed us; another year in which
not 'only to take thought of our duty
to ourselves and to mankind, but also
to. adjust .. ourselves to ' the many re
sponsibilities thrust upon us by a war
which has involved almost thef whole
of Europe. We have been able to as
sert our rights and the rights of man
kind without . breach " of friendship
with the great pations with whom, we
have had to deal, "and while w have
asserted our rights, we have been able
also to perform duties ' and exereisfe
privileges of sdccor and helpfulness
which' would serve to demonstrate our
desire to make the offices of . friend
ship the means of truly disinterested
and unselfish service. i . ';'
"Our ability to serve all who could
avail themselves of our services in the
midst of crisis -iias been increased by
a gracious Providence , bjr teiore and
more abundant., crops; . lour r ample
financial resources have- enabled us to
i steady the markets of the world and
facilitate necessary movement of com
merce which "the war might ' otherwise-
have rendered ; impossible, and
our pedple have come more and more,
to a so"ber realization of the part they
have been called upon to play in a
time when all the world is shaken by
unparelleled distresses and disasters.
VThe .extraordinary circumstances
of such a. timo.'have done ' much to
Quicken our national consciousness
and deepen and confirm our confi
dence in the principles of peace and
freedom' by which we , have ' always
sought to be guided. Out of darkness
and perplexities have come ' firmer
counsel of policy and clearer -perceptions
of the essential welfare of the
nation. We have prospered while other
peoples were at. war, , but pur pros
perity has been (vouchsafed us, we be
lieve, only' that we might the better
perform1 the functions which war ren
dered ' it impossible for them to per
form.; ..'IV , ,. : - -,
"Now therefore I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America., do hereby designate .Thars
day, . the twenty-fifth of November
next, as a .day of thanksgiving and
prayer, and invite the people, through
out the land to -cease from their
wonted' occupations and in their sev
eraV , homes and places of worship
render thanks to. Almighty God." ,
