Here is our new journal. We hope that you like it. The many innovations which you have no doubt noticed have been the result of considerable research and correspondence with our readers. The success of any publication can be achieved only by the adoption of a policy which appeals to its readers. This we have endeavored to do with Diseases of the Chest. This issue of the journal sets the tempo of what is to be expected in the future issues. The Editorial Board is deeply grateful to Dr. Paul H. Holinger who arranged for the compilation of the Symposium on Bronchiectasis published in this issue of the journal. In order to maintain the high standards which we have set as our goal, we urge that the Fellows and Associate Fellows of the College send us their material, and if it is meritorious, it will find a ready place in Diseases of the Chest. We suggest that you read the President's New Year Message on the succeeding pages of this issue of your journal. Dr. Peabody has pointed a way to College members for service during these trying days. The Council on Pan-American Affairs of the College is performing an admirable task. You will find a resume of their activities published in the College News columns of the journal. Read the reports of the Council on Undergraduate Medical Education and the National Council of Tuberculosis Committees published in this issue of your journal. The College program is forging ahead despite the many obstacles and the inconveniences incurred because of war conditions. This is your journal. We want you to be proud of it. We also want it to serve a useful purpose. We are publishing this enlarged journal with full confidence in the ultimate success of our war efforts and in the loyal support of the Fellows and Associate Fellows of the American College of Chest Physicians.
