nation, issued Oct. 3, 1889, and set
ting the last Thursday in November
of that year the day to be
observed, was thus the first official
designation of the American Thanks
giving under the authority of the
republic.
THIS was the institution President
Il Lincoln revived in the darkest
days of the Civil War, when he
promised the American people that
an era of peace and brotherhood
would emerge from the triumphs and
bereavements of the conflict and
urged them to be steadfast IN their
faith in God and to observe national
day of dedication to that faith,
saying
1T is meet and right TO recognize
and confess the presence OF the AL
mighty Father, and the potDer of His
hand ir these triumphs and bereaUe-
ments."
Thus, Thanksgiving Day has re-
NAMED the instrument of our ma
tional expression Of faith through all
the years of our nation.
1t has been the instrument of our
greatest strength and of our greatest
comfort, during the anxious days of
the recent war.
Now we have a new occasion for
the American people, as Gov. Brad
ford of Plymouth Colony said long
ago, to gather with one accord and
hold :. thanksgiving unto the
Lord.
Now we have a new need for the
national day of thanksgiving and
prayer" which George Washington
first proclaimed.
Now we have again the era of
peace and brotherhood which Abra-
ham Lincoln foresaw as the ultimate
reward of the faith of his country
men, and the occasion for a day of
national thanksgiving to render the
homage due to the Divine Majesty
for the wonderful things He has done
in the nation S behalf" F"
Observe it we'll, people of Amer
lea, and observe it reverently and
with grateful hearts, for it is the
expression of the faith in God which
is the substance OF the strength of
our beloved country.

Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher

beaten, and carrier supremacy de-
feated her"
Former commander of Task Force
So and now designated to be deputy
chief of naval operations for air,
Admiral Mitscher made this state
ment in message to the Naval Air
Force.
Carrier supremacy destroyed her
army and navy air forces" he said
of the enemy. Carrier supremacy
destroyed her fleet. Carrier suprem-
acy gave us bases adjacent to her
home islands. And carrier suprem-
acy finally left her exposed to the
most devastating sky attack-the
atomic fission bomb-that man has
suffered"
Admiral Mitscher went on to say
he did not mean that air power
by itself won the war with Japan.
I'VE exercised our carrier suprem-
acy as part of balanced, integrated
air-surface-ground team, in which
all hands may be proud of the roles
assigned them, and of the way in
which their duties were discharged"

Radio Reception Of Tokyo S
Rejection Denied by owl
BY the Associa ted Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
The Office of War Information
tonight issued the following state
ment:
Various rumors that the Fed
eral Communications Commission
has recorded a Tokyo broadcast,
or a Chungking broadcast quoting
Tokyo, to the effect that Japan has
rejected Allied surrender terms are
without foundation. The FEC has
recorded no such broadcast.
Another report, to the effect
that the japanese war minister has
called on Japanese forces to con-
tinue the fight, appears to be a
garbled version of an appeal he is
sued to the troops yesterday three
hours before Domei transmitted its
surrender offer to the United States.
At that time he called on them to
fight to the last this holy war for
the defense of the divine nation
against Russia. 1t should be noted
that Domei reported last night that
the surrender offer had been made
by a unanimous vote of the full
cabinet, including the war and navy
ministers.
