BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION God's help to us has been great in this year of march toward world- wide liberty. In brotherhood with warriors of other United Nations our gallant men have won victories, have freed our homes from fear, have made tyranny tremble, and have laid the foundation for freedom of life in a world which will be free. Our forges and hearths and mills have wrought well; and our weap- ons have not failed. Our farmers, Victory gardeners, and crop vol- unteers have gathered and stored a heavy harvest in the barns and bins and cellars. Our total food production for the year is the great- est in the annals of our country.

ROOSEVELT, Presi- dent of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, [57 STAT.
