August 1945 ''New York Times'' -- ''Japanese Believed 'Stalling' On Surrender...Washington Says Next 'Message' to Japanese Will Be Bombings'' -- Other Stories on ''Jewish State in Palestine''

14 August 1945 issue of ''The New York Times'' with articles reporting on the suspense building as the Japanese hold out on surrender. The lack of any word from Japan on whether its surrender or annihilation is imminent is the topic of the day, with the latter seeming more likely to prevail with every passing hour. A separate article outlines the proposed steps for the establishment of ''a Jewish state in Palestine''. 36pp. paper measures 16.5'' x 22.5''. Toning and separation to left-hand spine. Overall very good condition.
