WHAT'S THE NEXT MOVE
in World Affairs?
• Foreign affairs abruptly have ceased to be foreign in area.  International forest fires are spreading.  Already sparks from the conflagration in the Far East and in Europe are crackling over the roofs of American homes.

No longer can you, or any other thinking American citizen, harbor the notion that one can live alone in such an era as this.  Not only do you realize the importance of getting ALL the news but especially you want to know that you are getting its significance interpreted free from the welter of conflicting propaganda and from a competent, fully informed American mind.

Such a mind is that which directs the ablest group of foreign correspondents in the world today—the foreign service of The Chicago Daily News; the mind in hourly touch with international developments in all parts of the globe; the mind which in past experience, personal contact and through its present key position knows the facts and trends and probabilities as do few minds.  This mind—articulate on and off the record from the informality of the speaker's platform—is available for a limited number of engagements.


CARROLL BINDER
who sits at the nerve ends of two hemispheres is qualified to address Americans on world trends
• Hourly, as foreign editor and director of the world-famed foreign news service of The Chicago Daily News, he is separating truth from propaganda in world affairs, piecing together isolated reports and seemingly unrelated developments—in short, handling news which is yet to explode.

• His job is to know the trend of events, long before the layman is aware that a change is taking place, to point out that trend and make its meaning clear to the minds of American readers.  Audiences everywhere listen eagerly whenever Carroll Binder finds time to talk.




CARROLL BINDER
DIRECTOR OF THE WORLD'S FOREMOST FOREIGN SERVICE, NOTED CORRESPONDENT, EDITOR, LECTURER
HE has served as chief correspondent of The Chicago Daily News in London, Russia and Italy.

He has traveled vast areas of Japan, Manchukuo, China and Latin America as well as every corner of Europe.

His work has made him personally acquainted with many outstanding political and military leaders throughout Europe and Asia.

He has interviewed—to mention only a few—such notables as Premiers Mussolini of Italy; Hirota, Hayashi, Okada of Japan; Venizelos of Greece; and H. H. Kung of China.

As foreign news editor, even before Japan's current cycle of aggression, Binder's interpretative writing on the Far East situation was being given headlines abroad.  His comments were reprinted in the leading European journals.

Carroll Binder is intimately acquainted with foreign affairs on all the rungs of the ladder.  He knows the influences that dominate international life, he has rubbed shoulders personally with forces responsible for many of the epochal changes through which the world is passing.  He is versed in national attitudes and national limitations.  He knows the philosophical outlook of every important power in the world today—including the too often glibly expressed formulas and shibboleths of the average American.  It is, observes Binder, the complacent American who persists in thinking of Japanese, Italians and others as 'people just like ourselves' who is responsible for an occasional lack of realism—a dangerous lack of realism at times—in our foreign policy.

Out of experience, in speech replete with interesting anecdote and graphic fact, he holds the rapt attention of audience after audience.  He can reveal from his own eyewitness adventures off the record events that will keep his listeners tense on the edges of their chairs.  He can explain, out of the vast storehouse of his privileged information, why that which happens in the plateaus of Spain, the hills and valleys of Czechoslovakia or the hinterland of Asia, may determine whether your boy finishes his education or takes a post graduate course in war.

And, depend upon it, his vivid recital will be trustworthy—as reliable as it is realistic—as up-to-date as the latest radio or cable dispatch—compellingly entertaining—tremendously worth while.

Now an internationally known figure, Binder's years of preparation for interpretative work have been unique—his study of foreign affairs extending back to student days at Harvard a quarter of a century ago and continuing through service in France as a representative of the American Red Cross in charge of French and Belgian refugees in the war zone and expanding with his years as a correspondent in many lands over a period of more than fifteen years.

The affairs of the world are brought to you fresh and first hand when Carroll Binder talks.

To Carroll Binder the Rotary Club of Chicago is indebted for one of the finest international service talks we have listened to in a number of months…  We have listened to interesting speeches on similar subjects before, but hardly any come up to the standard of clearness and logic of Binder's enlight ening presentation. The Gyrator, Official Publication of The Rotary Club, Chicago.

We were tremendously pleased with his address.  It was interesting, simple, and yet highly informative.  The judicial way in which he presented a highly controversial subject made an impression.  We hope very much that Mr. Binder will return to our campus. —Malcolm M. Willey, University Dean and Assistant to the President, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn.

I felt that it (Binder's address) was exactly what we wanted, a 100% lucid, authoritative and up to the minute discussion of the contemporary European situation … I am keenly aware of the difficulty of finding speakers who analyze political developments rationally and dispassionately and at the same time have sufficient punch to keep the audience interested.  Mr. Binder fulfilled both requirements perfectly and the 1,300 persons who attended the meeting were universally pleased with his talk. Clifton M. Utley, Director, Chicago Council on Foreign Relations.

It was a great honor and pleasure to have you address the Chicago Medical Society on June 19th.  Your topic Europe—The New Balance of Power, was most interesting and well presented.  It was greatly enjoyed by everyone.  I hope you may be our guest again. Dr. Charles H. Phifer, President, Chicago Medical Society.

May I at the earliest possible moment express to you the very hearty thanks of the officers and members of the American Academy for your valuable contribution at our 41st annual meeting.  Your presentation gave us an illuminating picture of the situation with which we are confronted.  As you know, your address will appear in the July issue of The Annals. Ernest Minor Patterson, President, The American Academy of Political and Social Science.
