Transcript

who are welcome guests of the most thrilling organization in America, the World Adventurer Club. Here we find men from all corners of the globe, men who have braved every experience from the polar seas to the sweltering clopics.

Among all the members of the World Adventurer Club, there is no man more interesting than Lieutenant Jack Palmer. You may have met Secret Service men before, but we'll wager you've never met a man who was a member of the Secret Service of the Chinese Republic, a white man gambling his wits against death in a yellow man's country.

At this moment we find Lieutenant Palmer surrounded by several club members and they've persuaded him to tell one of his adventures in the land of the Golden Dragon. And the club invites you to pull up your chair and hear this story of modern China.

Give a man a voice you can write, give a man a voice you can say, give a man! I say, Jack-o-man, they tell me you've been having a lot of fun over in China.

Spirey and diplomat and soldier, propagandists and quartermaster and field general and... Oh, a little bit of everything else. China has been in a frightful turmoil. Someday she's coming out of it. If she can ever become unified, that is become nationally conscious.

She's liable to be one of the greatest powers that the world has ever seen. Look out for the old dragon when that day arrives. You must have had some wild adventures in the three years of Chinese political and military strife.
