PRESIDENT SETS NOV. q
AS DAY OF THANKSGIVING
Roosevelt In Proclamation Calls
Upon People To Give Thanks
United States Is At Peace
IS ONE WEEK EARLIER

President Roosevelt has proclaimed
November % as Thanksgiving Day
and called upon the people to give
thanks that the United States is at
peace with all countries in a world of
turmoil.
The proclamation fixed Thanksgiv-
ing for the third Thursday of Novem-
Der, one week earlier than the tradi-
tional fourth Thursday on which the
holiday had been celebrated in recent
years. :'....
Mr.. Roosevelt had previously an
nounced that he also will proclaim
Thanksgiving in 1910 on the third
Thursday of the month.
The proclamation:
81, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Presi-
dent Of the United States of America
do hereby designate Thursday, the
23rd of November, 1889, as a day of
general thanksgiving, ..
"More than three centuries ago at
the season of the gathering of the
harvest, the Pilgrims humbly paused
in their work and gave thanks to God
for the preservation of their COM
munity and for the abundant yield of
the soil A century and half later,
after the new nation had been formed,
and the charter of government, the
Constitution of the Republic, had re-
ceived the assent of the states, Presi-
dent Washington and his successors
invited the people of the nation to lay
down their tasks one day in the year
and give thanks for the blessings
that had been granted them by Divine
Providence.
at is fitting that we should con-
tinue this hallowed custom and select
a day in 1889 to be dedicated to
reverent thoughts of thanksgiving.
"Our nation has gone steadily for
ward in the application of democratic
processes to economic and social prob
lens. We have faced the spectres of
business depression, of unemployment,
and of widespread agricultural dis
tress, and our positive efforts to
alleviate these conditions have met
with heartening results.
"We have also been permitted to see
the fruition of measurer which we
have undertaken in the realms of
health, social welfare, and the con-
servation of resources. AS nation
we are deeply greatful that in world
of turmoil we are at peace with all
countries, and we especially rejoice
in the strengthened bonds Of our
friendship with the other peoples of
the Western Hemisphere.
"Let us, on the day set aside for
this purpose, give thanks to the Ruler
of the universe for the strength which
He has vouchsafed us to carry on our
daily labors and for the hope that lives
within us of the coming of a daywhen
peace and the productive activities of
peace shall reign on every continent.
"In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the Seal
of the United States of America to be
affixed
Done at the City of Washington,
this 31st day of October, in the year
of our Lord nineteen hundred and
thirty-nine and of the independence of
the United States of America the one
hundred and sixty4fourth.
(Signed) "''
Franklin d. Roosevelt"

MT. LAKE PARK

Halloween passed very quietly here
in the Park. Perhaps it was the wealth
cr, but there were few pranks of any
sort played. In and around Loeb Lynn
it was different story. Several depre-
dations was committed on property
there-the school house for one--a
quantity of tar being spread around.
1t may go hard with those who did it
if they are discovered.
Don't forget that tonight is the
Methodist turkey supper, Serving viii

Cattle Imports Doubled

Official figures Of the Commerce De-
partment indicate some ground for
this feeling. For instance, in the first
six months of last year cattle imports
into the United States totaled 242,584
head, valued at $4,087, ,205. In the same
six months of this year imports totaled
486, ,497 head of cattle valued at SILL
688.1O6.
Let us look at those figures for a
moment. In the first six months of this
year more cattle were imported than in
the entire twelve months of last year,
when the total officially was reported
as 4,022. In the IL months of 1887,
year of large imports, 494,945 head of
cattle were mported-only about
5000 more than in the six months Of
this year. In the entire year of 1929
the boom year Of prosperity-492,609
head of cattle were imported.

LOOKING FORWARD
By FRANKLIN WALTMAN
Publicity Director, Republican National Committee

(This is the third of a series by Mr.
Waltman in which he gives his i'm
pressions of a recent trip across the
country.
One group of Americans who feel a
burning resentment against the New
Deal-and properly so-are the cattle
and dairy men. This is obvious to any
one visiting even for a few hours IN
such States as Nebraska, Wyoming,
Montana, California, Wisconsin Or
Minnesota.
President Roosevelt's recent dispar-
aging remarks about the quality Of
American canned beef-when he un-
dertook to justify the purchase of the
Argentine product for the Navy-ap-
parently brought this resentment to
the boiling point in the cattle and dairy
country.
Livestock organizations in State
after State angrily adopted resolu
tions denouncing the Presidents words
and action. Admittedly the amount Of
canned beef imported from Argentina
and other South American countries
has not been large-compared with
this country's total beef consumption,
though such imports last year totaled
78,O00,000 pounds. The American cat
tie industry, it is explained, could
stand such imports without going
broke.
The Republican., 1939-11-02

Commerce Department figures on
cattle imports have been published
only for the first six months of this
year and they have not yet been
broken down by countries. But it is
clear that substantial part of these
imports came from Canada. For in
stance, the Commissioner of Customs
reports, as this is being written, that
Canada has virtually filled its quota
of 100000 head of cattle weighing
under 200 pounds. He further reported
that during July and August 42,930
head of cattle weighing more than 700
pounds were received in this country
from Canada-with 7,461 head of the
same type from other countries.
Huge Increase In Wool Imports
And, while we are dealing with the
official figures on imports, the reason
for the dissatisfaction among the
sheep raisers can be found in the fact
that during the first six months Of
this year wool imports totaled 116,-
S01,000 pounds, compared with 25,-
415,500 pounds in the same period of
last year.
1t is no use to tell American cattle
men, in face of this situation, that
such imports do not harm them, as
the New Deal theorists explain. They
insist that such a heavy increase in
the importation of cattle has a de-
pressing effect on prices-that it is
depriving them Of a market which
rightfully belongs to them.
And now, they are confronted with
another long threatened danger, name
ly, increased cattle and beef imports
from Argentina. Heaping fuel on the
fires of anger stirred up by the Argen-
tine canned beef episode, the State De-
partment has announced it is nego-
tiating a so-called reciprocal trade
treaty with the Buenos Aires Govern
ment.
In view of what happened in the ne
gotiation of the Canadian agreement,
the cattle and dairy men now fear
the worst in the proposed Argentine
agreement. They know the decision
will be made behind closed doors and
that, in all probability, their represen-
tatives in Congress will have little to
say about it-at least they have had
little influence on previous agree
ments made.
Dissatisfaction with the New Deal
on the part of the cattle and dairy in
terests was clearly demonstrated in
the election last year in Wyoming,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Less clearly
it was demonstrated in other States.
Instead of allaying that dissatisfac-
ton, the New Dealers have increased
it. In short, the cattle and dairy pro-
ducers have become tired of being
made the goat in a good neighbor pol
icy of dubious value.

Why Cattlement Burned

But, it is added, the thing that
burned up the cattle raisers was the
fact that the President of the United
States used the White House sound
ing board-maintained with their tax
money-to disparage an American
product, and, in effect, urge the coun-
try to patronize Argentine beef on the
ground that it was both better and
cheaper. Likewise the Presidential
words hurt the more because of the
knowledge that the Argentine product
is served in various CCC camps, even
in the heart of the American cattle
country.
Talking with these American cattle
men, one gets the impression that
there are more grievances behind their
ire than Mr.. Roosevelt's disparage-
ment of the American steer. 1t seems
they previously suffered much and
these words only set off the resentment
already in their hearts and minds.
For instance, great deal of grumb-
ling about the detrimental effects Of
the so-called reciprocal trade agree
ment program is heard in cattle and
dairy sections-indeed from all live
stockmen. They seem particularly
aroused over the Canadian agreement,
which, they contend, admits sufficient
imports into this country under re-
duced tariffs to depress or hold down
