t", Thanksgiving Day
1 1938 ;
By RAYMOND P1TCAIRN
No other great national festival is
i quite like our American Thanksgiving
Day.
, That Is because the celebration expresses
so eloquently the fundamental
?and unique?American Spirit.
What to that Spirit? Basically it to
1 one ef reverent trust In the ultimate
goodness of Providence, blended with
t Ute sturdy self-reliance which only such
, aith can assure. This to precisely
what the first Thanksgiving Day expressed.
On that bleak and historic
November morning Its celebrants
I thanked no earthly king for political
jlfts or favors. They thanked God for
the opportunity granted them by their
labors to help the soil yield its harvest.
Thev voirrnl th* mnflrtonro af on oKIa
?I people grateful for the strength to fui|
Oil their appointed responsibilities.
That was ? and is ? the American
[ Spirit.
[ In recent years, however, there have
been attempts to veahrn or misinterpret
it. In recent years there have
oecn efforts to convince descendants
> of those hardy forebears that the key
i lo Nature's bounty lay no longer in
faith or in labor, but in economic theory
, and political serfdom. In recent years
.here have been efforts to supplant
the fundamental American instinct for
' constructive cooperation with a program
based on hatreds and governmental
hand-outs.
And for a while It looked aa If the
, new preachings might have their effect.
Ftor a while the voices which echoed
1 the feara and hysteria of Central
Europe seemed to drown out the deep,
true voice of America. .
Bat today that thrsot saease to be

Seventy five percent of the prosperous

your idea of a truly liberal pro(tram?"
Only seven per cent thought a liberal
program for government should
mean a new economic setup under
government control, with profits abollshed.
Witty two percent of those having
an opinion on this question answer- j
ed: "As much social reform as possi
