THROUGHOUT the war, your newspaper's headlines, news and editorial col
umns kept you posted of events. They reported to you the news as it happened,
the background details and interpretations of cause and effect. Always honest,
specific and realistic, the newspaper in our country is as free as the air we
breathe: it has been a weapon toward Victory in time of war, and it continues
to serve as a beacon lighting the way to continued freedom for all the people
of the world. Just as you have maintained an avid interest in every news de
tail about the war continue to show equal interest in the progress of our coun
try and all countries during peacetime. Because it is only by being well
informed about every development in national and world affairs that you can
fulfill your personal responsibility in helping to keep the peace which has been
so hard won . . . The peace which must be permanent if our civilization is to
survive at all. Look to your newspaper for news ... the world looks to you
and every American, for peace.
