AUGUST 14, 1945

Dear Subscriber

On this day of great rejoicing the world over, all of us at TIME join our prayers of thanksgiving with yours that this terrible chapter of history is at last complete.

It is our hope that we may now begin to record for you in the pages of TIME a period of reconstruction and peace and progress which will extend beyond the last edition of this or any other magazine.
