Herbert Hoover, “Responsibility of America for World Peace,” address before national con- vention of National League of Women Voters, Des Moines, Iowa, April 11, 1923, Bible no. 303, Hoover Presidential Library. 5. Bruce Bliven, “Hoover—And the Rest,” Independent, May 29, 1920, 275. Chapter 1 1. John W. Hallowell to Arthur (Hallowell?), November 21, 1918, Hoover Papers, Pre-Com- merce Period, Hoover Presidential Library, West Branch, Iowa, Box 6, “Hallowell, John W., 1917–1920”; Julius Barnes to Gertrude Barnes, November 27 and December 5, 1918, ibid., Box 2, “Barnes, Julius H., Nov. 27, 1918–Jan. 17, 1919”; Lewis Strauss, “Further Notes for Mr. Irwin,” ca. February 1928, Subject File, Lewis L. Strauss Papers, Hoover Presidential Library, West Branch, Iowa, Box 10, “Campaign of 1928: Campaign Literature, Speeches, etc., Press Releases, Speeches, etc., 1928 Feb.–Nov.”; Strauss, handwritten notes, December 1, 1918, ibid., Box 76, “Strauss, Lewis L., Diaries, 1917–19.” 2. The men who sailed with Hoover to Europe on the Olympic on November 18, 1918, were Julius Barnes, Frederick Chatfi eld, John Hallowell, Lewis Strauss, Robert Taft, and Alonzo Taylor. See Strauss to Bruce Bliven, July 8, 1920, Strauss Papers, Box 36, “Hoover, Herbert, General, 1920.” 3. Hoover to Wilson, November 4, 1918, American Relief Administration Documents (here- after, “ARA Docs.”), 1:5–7, Hoover Presidential Library, West Branch, Iowa; Alonzo E. Taylor, “Food Conditions in Germany and Austria-Hungary,” November 14, 1918, Hoover Papers, Pre-Commerce Period, Box 15, “Taylor, Alonzo, 1917–1919”; Julius Barnes to Gertrude Barnes, December 3, 1918, ibid., Box 2, “Barnes, Julius H., Nov. 27, 1918–Jan. 433 434 Notes (pages 2–4) 17, 1919.” The puzzling nutritional imbalance of Hoover’s food relief—that is, the exclusive focus on fats and wheat and the complete absence of fruits and vegetables—seems to have resulted not only from storage and shipment limitations but also from the era’s scientifi c emphasis on calories as the measure of nutritional needs. On this, see Nick Cullather, “The Foreign Policy of the Calorie,” American Historical Review 112 (April 2007): 347–52. 4. Julius Barnes to Gertrude Barnes, December 3, 1918, Hoover Papers, Pre-Commerce Period, Box 2, “Barnes, Julius H., Nov. 27, 1918–Jan. 17, 1919.” 5. Wilson to Hoover, November 7, 1918, in Arthur S.

For the origins of this policy, see Hoover to Wilson, October 21, 26, 1918, ibid., 397–99, 458–59. 6. “Scheme for Relief in Period Immediately after the Conclusion of Hostilities (This origi- nated with the British),” undated, ca.

Parrini, Heir to Empire: United States Economic Diplomacy, 1916–1923 (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1969), 15–22. In his Memoirs, Hoover describes his disillusionment with Allied motives as having taken place literally over night, but as George Nash makes clear, he had been a realist about the European situation from at least the beginning of the war. Herbert Hoover, Memoirs: Years of Adventure, 1874–1920 (New York: Macmillan, 1951), 285–89 (hereafter, Memoirs 1); George H. Nash, The Life of Herbert Hoover: The Humanitarian, 1914–1917 (New York: Norton, 1988); George H. Nash, The Life of Herbert Hoover: Master of Emergencies, 1917–1918 (New York: Norton, 1996). 7.

For Hoover’s desire to move beyond wartime bitterness toward the Germans and his frustration at what he saw as French obstructionism, see Louis P. Lochner, Herbert Hoover and Germany (New York: Macmillan, 1960), 29–46. It would be a mistake to see him as pro-German, but he regarded the stability and prosperity of Germany as essential to the future of Europe. 8. Hoover, Memoirs 1, 321. 9. Ibid. Among the small number of serious efforts by historians to explore this issue, two stand out: David Burner, “The Quaker Faith of Herbert Hoover,” in Understanding Herbert Hoover: Ten Perspectives, ed.

The fears that Americans associ- ated with nuclear weapons only increased as first the Soviet Union and then communist China developed their own atomic bombs. The issue of nuclear power was not just a problem for America but a global challenge, compli- cated largely by the lack of scientific data regarding military effect and environmental impact. It was within this context that Eisenhower took the unprecedented step of promoting the use of atoms for peace rather than for war. To convince Americans that nuclear power had positive benefits for the country, the federal government under Eisenhower launched a program called “Atoms for Peace.” The program took its name from a stunning speech delivered by Eisenhower to the United Nations General Assembly in 1953. Eisenhower believed that “the only way to win World War III is to prevent it.” He recommended the creation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to help diffuse political tensions and solve the “fearful atomic dilemma” by both monitoring atomic weapons and support- ing research into peaceful uses for atomic energy such as medicine and agriculture.

    13 Collecting Statistical Data 13.1 The Population 13.2 Sampling 13.3 Random Sampling 1.1 - 1 • Polls, studies, surveys and other data collecting tools collect data from a small part of a larger group so that we can learn something about the larger group. • This is a common and important goal of statistics: Learn about a large group by examining data from some of its members. 1.1 - 2 Data collections of observations (such as measurements, genders, survey responses) 1.1 - 3 Statistics is the science of planning studies and experiments, obtaining data, and then organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing, interpreting, and drawing conclusions based on the data 1.1 - 4 Population the complete collection of all individuals (scores, people, measurements, and so on) to be studied; the collection is complete in the sense that it includes all of the individuals to be studied 1.1 - 5 Census Collection of data from every member of a population Sample Subcollection of members selected from a population 1.1 - 6 A Survey • The practical alternative to a census is to collect data only from some members of the population and use that data to draw conclusions and make inferences about the entire population. • Statisticians call this approach a survey (or a poll when the data collection is done by asking questions). • The subgroup chosen to provide the data is called the sample, and the act of selecting a sample is called sampling. 1.1 - 7 A Survey • The first important step in a survey is to distinguish the population for which the survey applies (the target population) and the actual subset of the population from which the sample will be drawn, called the sampling frame.

    An Intimate World: Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Andrew Theodore Urban IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee June 2009 © Andrew Urban, 2009 Acknowledgements While I rarely discussed the specifics of my dissertation with my fellow graduate students and friends at the University of Minnesota – I talked about basically everything else with them. No question or topic was too large or small for conversations that often carried on into the wee hours of the morning. Caley Horan, Eric Richtmyer, Tim Smit, and Aaron Windel will undoubtedly be lifelong friends, mahjong and euchre partners, fantasy football opponents, kindred spirits at the CC Club and Mortimer’s, and so on. I am especially grateful for the hospitality that Eric and Tim (and Tank the cat) offered during the fall of 2008, as I moved back and forth between Syracuse and Minneapolis. Aaron and I had the fortune of living in New York City at the same time in our graduate careers, and I have fond memories of our walks around Stuyvesant Park in the East Village and Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and our time spent with the folks of Tuesday night. Although we did not solve all of the world’s problems, we certainly tried. Living in Brooklyn, I also had the opportunity to participate in the short-lived yet productive “Brooklyn Scholars of Domestic Service” (AKA the BSDS crew) reading group with Vanessa May and Lara Vapnek.
