ABOARD ROOSEVELT sPE-
CIAL TRAIN, Nov. l6. (UP)-
President Roosevelt was headed
for the Tennessee Valley last
night on an inspection tour of the
nations outstanding example of
social and economic long-range
planning.
Coming as it does few months
in advance of the impending sem
ate fight on ratification Of the St
Lawrence Waterways pact, the
tour of the chief executive was
regarded by many observers as a
step in a selling argument for de-
velopment of other great valley
projects.
Before leaving, the president
ordered Secretary of War George
Dern to continue General Douglas
Macarthur as army chief of staff
until Dec. Is.
He also issued the annual
Thanksgiving Day proclamation:
81, Franklin d. Roosevelt,
president of the United States
of America, hereby designate
Thursday, the goth day of No.
vember, 1884, as a day of
Thanksgiving for the people Of
the nation.
"Thus to set aside in the
autumn of each year day on
which to give thanks to AL
mighty God for the blessings of
life is wise and reverent GUS
tom, long cherished by our peo-
pie. 1t is fitting that we
should again observe this GUS
tom.
During the past year we
have been given courage and
fortitude to meet the problems
which have confronted US in our
national life. Our sense of So
cial justice has deepened. We
have been given vision to make
new provisions for human well
fare and happiness, and in a spi-
rit of mutual helpfulness we
have cooperated to translate
vision into reality.
"More greatly have we turn
ed our hearts and minds to
things spiritual. We can truly
say what profiteth it a nation
to gain the whole world and lose
it's own soul?' With gratitude in
our hearts for what has already
been achieved, may we. with
the help Of God, dedicate our
selves anew to work for the
betterment of mankind"
