`stimulating awareness t is ~-iare part of a broader world society'
Fifty-one years ago, in 1922, the
Chicago Council on Foreign Relations
was founded with the purpose of edu-
cating people in the Midwest on foreign
affairs. On June 22, 1973, the Council
formally celebrated its 50th anniversary
with a dinner at the Palmer House
featuring an address by Secretary of
the Treasury George P. Shultz.
Through the years, the Council has
played an increasingly important role
in stimulating awareness that Ameri-
cans are part of a broader world society
and in insuring that, whatever the
climate of opinion of the moment, the
question of the proper role of the United
States in the world would receive a
full hearing.
As part of its mission during the last
three decades, the Council also helped
educate leaders who have occupied
important positions in American public
life. Men from Chicago have gone out to
help lead the nation and have left their
impact on international affairs-men
such as Frank Knox, Adlai Stevenson,
Sargent Shriver, William McCormick
Blair, David Kennedy, George Shultz,
Peter G. Peterson, Charles H. Percy,
Adlai Stevenson III, Donald Rumsfeld
and Robert Ingersoll.
Now, in the 1970s, the Council has an
opportunity to play a new role by pro-
viding an institutional means through
which the leadership of the city and
surrounding areas can take part in the
shaping of United States foreign policy.
With few exceptions, most Chicago
institutions have traditionally been
regional or national in scope, rather
than international During the course of
National commercial and financial
institutions have become international;
some multinational corporations, once
located principally on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, are now headquartered
in Chicago. Institutional involvement,
as distinct from personal participation,
is a relatively recent thing. The number
of people who are today professionally
engaged in international activity in
Chicago is many times greater than a
decade ago. In the coming decade the
Council will give considerable attention
to making the voice of this community
fully felt in the national foreign
policy process.
In accepting the position of Executive
Director in 1971, I remarked that the
decade of the 1970s has seen the
emergence of international economic
issues as central foreign policy con-
cerns. With the phenomenal growth of
Japan and the emergence of a strong
Europe, U.S. attention has necessarily
begun to focus on these issues.
Therefore, during the past two years,
priority consideration in the substan-
tive work of the Council's program has
been given to questions of international
economic policy. Three separate
seminar series over a two-year period
have focused on various aspects of this
broad subject--one on U.S. relations
with Japan, another on Europe and a
third on Canada. In November, 1972, an
international conference (the Atlantic
Conference) was devoted to interna-
tional economic policy as it applies to
Europe, North America and Latin
America. In view of the position which
the city of Chicago now plays in the
international economic life of our
country, it is important that the Council
continue to devote considerable
resources to examining America's
international economic posture.
At the same time, there are other criti-
cal issues we cannot ignore. Perhaps
the overriding question of American
foreign policy today is that of redefining
Amnrina'c nvarnll rnla in tha wnrlri
place some limitation on our overseas
aspirations, to restrict the exercise of
American political and military power.
But it is important that our memory
extend beyond the last decade and our
vision beyond the next. As we seek to
redefine the international role which
the United States will play for the
remainder of the century, we should not
entirely forget Gladstone's defense of
a foreign policy based ultimately on
moral imperatives. "Good ends," he
said, "can rarely be attained in politics
without passion." No doubt this is a
dangerous doctrine placed in the wrong
hands. But perhaps it i$ as necessary
during a retrenchment as during an
advance, as necessary in the pursuit of
stability as in the pursuit of justice. The
Council must continue to address this
central issue.
During the past decade, the Chicago
Council on Foreign Relations has
become a large organization-its 22,000
members make it the largest private
foreign policy institution in the country.
Because the Council's membership is
diverse, its program also must be
diverse.
For the past two years the Council has
sought to broaden the services offered
to its members. Because many Council
members live in the suburbs rather than
the city, we have developed an exten-
sive suburban program, both on the
North Shore and in the Western sub-
urbs, a program which will be con-
tinued. Second, because many of our
members are first introduced to inter-
national affairs through foreign travel,
we have diversified the opportunities to
travel abroad. We have added greatly to
the substantive programs available to
members before and during their over-
seas visits. Third, we have strengthened
our extensive secondary education pro-
gram through more carefully focused
efforts on teacher training, and by
relating the program more closely to

the needs of the public and parochial
school systems. We have strengthened
our programs serving the leadership of
the community through expanding the
Chicago Committee's program and
diversifying its membership.
Fourth, in order to strengthen the
Council's publication program, we have
affiliated with a new quarterly. Foreign
Policy, published in New York and
Washington. We are promoting the
widest possible circulation of this
excellent journal in the Chicago area.
It is available to Council members on
special terms, and, as Executive Di-
rector, I serve on the Editorial Board.
We regard Foreign Policy an important
outlet for serious foreign.policy writing
stemming from Council programs.
Finally, during the last two years, the
Council's Board of Directors has been
strengthened by the addition of execu-
tives from the business and banking
world, editors and publishers from
Chita jo media and leading acade-
mician sand university administrators.
Since the Council does not have a
residE nt research staff, we have tried
to use more fully the resources of the
major universities with which the
Council has long enjoyed a close
assoc ation-the University, of Chicago.
North restern University and the
Unite sity of Illinois. In addition, we
have c eveloped regular cooperative
ties w th other private foreign policy
institues in this country and abroad
which seek to reach influential
segmf nts of the public interested in
foreig i policy. These include the
Carne lie Endowment for International
Peace The Council on Foreign Rela-
tions i i New York: the United Nations
Assoc ation in New York; the Center
for Int yr-American Relations; The
Japan Society; The National Committee
on 11.~ .-China Relations; The Aspen
Institu e for Humanistic Studies; The
Adlai Stevenson'nstitu-a and the
Brookings Institution.
In the pages that ollow. we report on
some highlights c,f the Council's work
between July 1, 1 371, and June 30,
1973. The items here illustrate our
work, but are by r o means exhaustive.
They do, however, give an idea of the
range of the roughly 200 meetings per
year the Council now conducts, plus
various publications and a diverse
travel program. I want to take this
opportunity to the nk the loyal sup-
porters of the Council during the past
two years, especially President Richard
Hoefs, the members of the Board, and
Patrons and Spor sors who have con-
tributed so much :o the success of

The theme of the Secretary of the
Treasury's address at the 50th anni-
versary dinner of the Council on June
22, 1973, was a familiar one to members
-that the problems of United States
foreign policy, more than ever before,
are economic in nature.
At a time when the beleaguered dollar
is being buffeted on every side and our
trade balance is piling up deficits, corps, corporations and universities;

to celebrate the 50th anniversary at
the Palmer House Hotel.
Shultz noted that never before had the
economy of the United States been tied
so closely to the world economy, a rela-
tionship that had become pronounced
during the first six months of 1973.
He pointed out that world-wide anti-
inflationary efforts were producing a
closer economic relationship between
the United States and other nations.
One result of this was the recently
concluded agreements between Presi-
dent Nixon and Soviet Communist
Party leader Leonid I. Brezhnev.
"A Soviet-American detente is an ab-
solutely necessary condition for greater
economic development," said Shultz.
Shultz's remarks provided the highlight
of an evening which brought together
former presidents of the Council;
former Executive Directors Louise
Leonard Wright and Clifton Utley; rep-
resentatives of Chicago's consular

Japan's own cultural values.
The real question is whether the U.S.
and Japan can, in spite of growing
economic competition, find a modus
vivendi which will allow us to compete
creatively and avoid a confrontation
which would have serious conse-
quences for both sides-and for the
world.
In meeting the many questions posed
by the emergence of an economically
powerful Japan, the Council has spon-
sored seminars for businessmen,
bankers, journalists, academicians and

is about to become "Number Two." The
last scene in America's military venture
in Vietnam is being played out, leaving
Japan at the critical hub of East Asia-
the hub of an economic wheel. China,
meanwhile, has joined the complex
geometry of great nations, and raised
new questions ... problems ... oppor-
tunities for Russians, Americans and
Japanese.
Can we work with Japan? Perhaps not,
if we keep the old standards of world
power-power based on military might.
Perhaps not, if our economic interests
in East Asia and elsewhere conflict
with Japan's-if problems of trade,
monetary reform and energy lead to a
diplomacy of mutual suspicion.
But perhaps we in the United States
can work with Japan-if we both accept
the emerging rules of the new security
-economic security-in the game of
great powers. Perhaps we can-if the
end of Indochina does not mean the
end of U.S. interest in the economic
fortunes of East Asian trade ... invest-
ment ... development. Perhaps we can,
if the China craze does not blur the
giant form of Japan in Asia-and the
Can the United States work with Japan
in Asia? Ten years ago, this question
would have been ridiculous. The United
States was the world's unchallenged
economic superpower and had just
weathered a test of wills with the Soviet
Union in Cuba. Japan's security was
bound up with America's, while China
sulked in isolation-part self-imposed,
part thrust upon it. Japan's economic
miracle was only just beginning, and
Vietnam was still a name that most
Americans mispronounced.
Today, Asia has entered a new era,
dominated by economics. Nuclear
treaties between the United States and
the Soviet Union have reduced fears of
war generally in the world and, with
them, reduced dependence of Japan
and other countries on the United
States for military security against
Moscow. Japan has climbed in the
economic ranks, "Trying Harder," and

cutting the American umbilical cord
The United States and Canada share
the longest unfortified border in the
world." So much every American knows
about relations with our northern
neighbor; but little else. It is the for-
gotten member of the Atlantic Alliance;
the forgotten market for one-third of
all U.S. exports; the forgotten center of
decision on the use of its own natural
resources.
Why not forget? What choice does
Canada have but to depend on the
United States? Perhaps the range of
that choice is small, but it does exist.
It exists far beyond the point of meriting
for Canada only a passive role in
slogans of "friendship" ..... partner-
ship" ... "community."
The United States' ability to act on the
basis of "Continental ism" is fading
fast. Cultural reaction is growing in both
English and French Canada. The politi-
cal climate of U.S.-Canadian relations
has progressively gone sour in recent
years, especially as our economic
problems-and some heavyhandedness
-have had their impact on Canadian
jobs, prices and prosperity. And the
idea of a "continental energy policy,"
with Canada a passive partner, is as
anathema north of the border.
Our increasing need for Canadian
energy, water and export markets-
along with opposition to U.S. control of
Canada's industries and to possible
pollution of its lands by U.S. oil pipe-
lines-argue for different attitudes and
different relations. These changes are
possible, but they are not yet in
prospect. Yet here, too, the decline in
U.S. economic fortunes relative to
other rich Western states is posing new
demands that may not be to our liking,
but which must still be met.

What is Europe? The old Heartland ...

The Atlantic World is swept by the same
currents of change that in Asia are
moving U.S. relations with Japan.

important word than "Partnership" in

nent the genesis of ideas, of new forms
of political organization, of economic
clout. Security here, too, takes on an
economic meaning, because of success
and new concerns. Success (and at
the summit) in the control of arms and
conflict means less worry about the
institutions of a military era. European
economic power means new concerns
for the institutions of trade, monetary
relations, and the broader, working
community of economic interests.
The Atlantic Alliance of the 1940s and
'50s is near the end of its Cold War
purpose. Tomorrow, that Alliance-and
the community it has expressed-will
die unless their purpose and methods
can change as well. For the United
States, troops abroad have let us
remain aloof from real involvement in
the outside world; yet today economic
challenge is bringing that world into
the lives of all Americans. Old attitudes
and relations must die with the
Almighty Dollar; a narrow focus on
NATO must go the way of tensions that
preceded detente; and the monopoly
of American decision-and leadership
-must end with the birth of West
European pride and effort and a
fledgling unity.

New answers from t tie Atlantic Conference
In November. 1972. the Atlantic Con-
ference series met for the first time
under theauspices of the Chicago
Council on Foreign Relations. This pri-
vate, international conference series,
originally initiated in 1965 by Joseph
Slater at the Ford Foundation, moved
to the Chicago Council in the autumn
of 1971.
The 1972 meeting, held in Macuto,
Venezuela, brought together 50 leaders
from the three continents for a private,
off-the-record discussion of the sub-
ject, "International Economic Policy:
Europe, North Ame -ica and Latin
America."
By 1972, internatioral economic issues
had become amonc the most divisive
in the foreign policies of Western
nations. The measures taken by the
Nixon administratic n in August, 1971,
followed by the Smithsonian agree-
ment, focused attention on the funda-
mental re-alignment that has taken
place in world commercial and financial
arrangements. Wei before the devalu-
ation of the dollar in February, 1973,
international econcmic policy had
moved to the front rank of American
foreign policy issues. As a result. the
discussion at the 1972 Atlantic Con-
ference centered on three themes:
revision of the internatioral economic
system, growth of tie multinational
corporation, and the search for devel-
opment by Latin Arierican nations.
The Atlantic Conference meetings
focus on the common problems of the
Western World shirred by the three
continents. The title of the series,
"Atlantic Conference," is designed to
emphasize that those are meetings of
leaders from the rr ajor nations of the
Western World. nct simply the United
States and Europe, or the United States
and Latin America. The conference
meets every two years and discusses a
specific subject of special relevance to
all three continents. The series is now
organized and administered by the
Chicago Council on Foreign Relations
in cooperation with an International

Steering Committee headed by
Senators Frank Church and
Charles McC. Mathias, Jr.
The site of the meetings alternates
among North America, Europe and
Latin America. All discussions at
Atlantic Conference meetings are
off-the-record, and no attempt is made
to adopt formal conclusions.
The papers discussed at the Confer-
ence were published in early 1973.

I n the city
...and suburbs
In recognition of the fact that a signifi-
cantproportion of the Council member-
shipnow lives in the suburbs, in 1971
the Program Department initiated a
series of meetings designed to serve
the needs of the North Shore and the
Western suburban areas.
In a highly successful series on, "Neo-
Isolationism:Myth or Reality," the
Council closely examined a central
problem in contemporary America and
brought Senator Thomas Eagleton, The
Honorable George Ball and Professor
Robert Tucker of Johns Hopkins to the
North Shore, where, over the course of
three discussions, some 600 members
heard the issues debated.
In the Western suburb of Oak Brook the
Council cooperated with The University
of Illinois and The League of Women
Voters in athree-part analysis of, "The
Limits of Intervention." This series
featured a debate between then Presi-
dential candidate Congressman Paul N.
McCloskey, Jr., and Senator Gale
McGee, and lectures by Professor
Zbigniew Brzezinski of Columbia
University and Senator Jacob Javits.
Audiences of 1,000 attended these
discussions.
In addition to serial programming, the
Council has also sponsored a number
of evening lectures in the suburbs
where notables such as Senator William
Proxmire, Clovis Maksoud of A/ Ahram
of Cairo, Senator Robert Dole and cor-
respondent Mark Gayn met for discus-
sions of the Mid-East, China and the
allocation of defense expenditures.

INDONESIA TODAY
A seminar sponsored by
THE CHICAGO COUNCIL
ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
Friday, April 27, 1973
Chairman: Mr. Seth King
Chicago Bureau Chief
New York Times
To this seminar and others like it, the
Council invites representatives of mid-
western colleges and universities,
professors and graduate students for
serious discussion of current issues.
Nine schools were represented at the
Indonesian seminar, ranging geo-
graphicallyfrom Madison, Wisconsin,
to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and including
Northwestern University, the University
of Chicago, the University of Illinois
and Knox College. Four representatives
of the Center for Strategic International
Studies in Jakarta presented papers
and engaged the 28 participants in a
full-day discussion of Indonesia's role
in Southeast Asia.
Additionally, the Council co-sponsors
foreign affairs courses with the Uni-
versity of Chicago extension program
and with the City Colleges of Chicago.
In this latter connection, working with
the Loop College, the Council has
offered its members opportunities to
study contemporary Mexico, Southeast
Asia and most recently the sources of
Irish nationalism.
Altogether, the Council's work with
Chicago's colleges and universities is
a two-way street, where the Council
draws on the intellectual resources of
the schools and at the same time
provides the professors and students
of the Midwest an opportunity to meet
in small sessions with many of the
distinguished visitors who come to the
city as guests of the Council.

Young arassador~; o t e world
A summer abroad? To some young
people this represents a backpack and
a carefree trip through Europe via
hostels. To others it means a present
from parents, a chance to explore the
world's marketplaces and build up a
sizable slide collection; but, to the
11 students who participated in the
Council's "Young Ambassador" pro-
gram this year, it spelled an unusual
experience. As Young Ambassadors,
the students spent the summer with a
foreign family experiencing first hand
the lifestyle and culture of another
nation.
The Chicago Council on Foreign Rela-
tions, working jointly with the American
Field Service and local community
organizations, has been able to send
55 students abroad since the Young
Ambassador program originated in
1969. The first delegation sent by the
Council spent the summer in Norway
and since then travels have extended
as far as Australia, Brazil. Argentina
and throughout Europe.
Typical of the Young Ambassadors is
Mary Tudela. While parades and fire-
workdisplays proclaimed the Fourth of
July 1971 across the United States,
Mary celebrated with her German
family, who gave a party in her honor.
A student from Chicago's Wells High
School, Mary spent the summer in
Neukerchen, Germany. She was
sponsored by Emerson House.
Now a sophomore at the University oI
Illinois, Mary hopes to spend her junior
year abroad in Barcelona. A Spanish
and pre-law major, she spends her
spare time singing with the university
choir and working at the local Boys'
Club. "Sharing my family's day-to-day
life was a beautiful experience," Mary
explains. "Not only did I grow to know
and love them, but I was also able to
grasp an understanding of the German
people and their culture ...and
knowing people that way makes 4,000
miles seem like next door."

Through its monthly publication, World
Events, and through an affiliation with
the new quarterly, Foreign Policy, the
Council offers members additional
opportunities to obtain information and
informed analysis on U.S. foreign
policy. In addition, the Council pub-
lishes papers which result from its
conferences and study groups, such as
the Atlantic Conference papers
published in 1973.
Founded on April 29,1925, the first
edition of World Events (it was then
called News Bulletin) featured stories
on Henri Poincare's government in
France and on "The Agile Benes" and
his recently concluded agreement with
Poland; turned to the concerns of
President Calles of Mexico; and con-
cluded by noting with trepidation that
Field Marshall von Hindenberg had
been elected President of the German
Republic. Such was the world of 1925.
In the 1930s, under Clifton Utley, then
Executive Director, it became the
principal source of analysis of news
in the Midwest.
Forty-seven years after its founding,
edited by former Time correspondent,
Frank McNaughton, World Events is
geared to the needs of over 22,000

Council members, keeping members
current on the Council's varied
activities and offering a platform for
airing diverse views on a wide range
of foreign policy issues.
The Council's affiliation with Foreign
Policy dates from December,1972.
Executive Director John E. Rielly serves
on the editorial board of the magazine,
and Council members may subscribe
under special arrangements. The
journal offers an outlet for serious
essays emanating from Council
programs.
As part of its arrangement with Foreign
Policy, the Council inaugurated a
special series of meetings called "The
Author Meets His Chicago Critics,"
which brings authors of articles in the
magazine to Chicago for discussions of
their work. On January 10, 1973, some
500 members turned out to hear Lincoln
Bloomfield of M.I.T. discuss "A Foreign
Policy for Disillusioned Liberals," and
on March 20, 1973, over 800 were on
hand for David Halberstam's analysis
of The Best and the Brightest.
Meanwhile, the Japan Trade Center
saluted the Council on its 50th anni-
versaryand published an article drawn
from the papers of the Council's
seminar on the Japanese economy in
the spring, 1972, issue of U.S./Japan
Outlook.
The Atlantic Conference papers,
published following the meeting at
Macuto, Venezuela in November, 1972,
appeared under the title, International
Economic Policy: Europe, Latin
America and the United States.

During the past two years great
emphasis has been placed on the
celebration of our 50th anniversary.
Attention properly has focused upon
many of the accomplishments of those
first 50 years, and in various ways
recognition was given to the key people
who were essential in the building of
the Council. That attention and the
related recognition were certainly well
deserved.
In reviewing the last two years, how-
ever, Inote aninteresting parallel in the
growth of the Council relative to the
importance of international develop-
ments to the Chicago metropolitan
area. To be sure, since the 1950s,
Chicago has become an international
center in many ways. Commercial,
academic, intellectual, and just
plain personal interests in other areas
of the world now exist among the
people in this area. The opening of the
St. Lawrence Seaway in the late 1950s
was perhaps the most dramatic symbol
of the developments then taking place.
But for all that the period 1971-1973
marked a particularly sharp rise of
Chicago-area involvement in the world
of business and international trade.
At the Council's annual meeting in 1971,
Peter G. Peterson, then the Special
Assistant to the President for Interna-
tional Economic Affairs, told us that
foreign affairs issues of the 1970s
would be economic issues. Many such
issues have surfaced in the intervening
two years, including problems with the
monetary system and future interna-
tionaltrading arrangements. Such
problems represent serious issues with
no obvious solutions in sight. Those
new internati~~nal problems which have
surfaced to date seem to be only the tip
of an iceberg of completely new and
different foreign affairs questions. It
seems likely the future will hold other
completely different problems.
if the ov. Hers of such funds choose to
make s~ ch an effort.
Both the United States and Japanese
governn ents are encouraging Japa-
nese im =stments of their surplus funds
in United States investments. Recently
Prime N' nister Tanaka of Japan
announc ed that Japan would give
$10,000. )00 to United States universi-
ties tc f~ rther Japanese studies.
In a revE rsal of past trends, recently
there ha re been takeover bids made by
EuroFe< n companies for United States
busines es. It is entirely possible that in
not too r iany years we may well have
multirat onal activity by labor unions
on a levc I commensurate with that of
large ,nt ~rnational companies in
operatic ~ today.
As such jevelopments take place, they
will crea e new and different problems.
We of th ~ Council can and should play
leading ~ oles during the future decades
in develc ping new thinking geared to
resolving such future foreign policy

some of he new economic issues

... and a gaze a ea
This biennial report covers the period
1971 to 1973, but in a certain sense it
goes well beyond those two years. The
history of the founding and develop-
ment ofthe Chicago Council on Foreign
Relations has been recorded in other
places, most notably in our 40th anni-
versary book, so I need not repeat it
here. But as we plan for the years to
come, we cannot forget that it is
through the hard work and untiring
efforts of many people that 50 years
after its founding we at the Council
look forward to a bright and productive
future.
The last two years have been marked
by many advances in programming:
a strengthening of the publications pro-
gram, atightening of the administra-
tion of the Council and a continuation
of a strong financial position.The Board
has been significantly strengthened by
the addition of new members. In the
years to come we look forward to
implementing the many ideas which
come from our Board members, the
committees of the Board and our
talented professional staff.
I am honored to have been chosen the
26th President of the Chicago Council
on Foreign Relations. I look forward to
working with the Board and staff in
furthering the aims of the Council in
our ever-expanding service to the
Chicago community, to the nation
and to the world.
