THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDENT TAFT

William H. Taft with contributions from Alvey A. Adee

The annual Thanksgiving Day proclamation was issued by President Taft on Sunday, Nov. 6. It says:—

"This year of 1910 is drawing to a close. The records of population and harvests, which are the index of progress, show vigorous national growth and the health and prosperous well-being of our communities throughout this land and in our possessions beyond the sea. These blessings have not descended upon us in restricted measure, but overflow and abound. They are the blessings and bounty of God.

"We continue to be at peace with the rest of the world. In all essential matters our relations with other peoples are harmonious, with an ever-growing reality of friendliness and depth of recognition of mutual dependence. It is especially to be noted that during the past year great progress has been achieved in the cause of arbitration and the peaceful settlement of international disputes.
