Thanksgiving Proclamation

Woodrow Wilson

Acting Secretary of State

The President today [Oct. 28] issued a proclamation setting Nov. 26 as Thanksgiving day.

The proclamation is: —

"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 discipline because of the mighty forces of war and of change which have disturbed the world, also a year of special blessings for us.
