Dear Miss AIm: I have received today a letter from His Eminence Cardinal Spellman, introducing Miss Mary de Anda, from Houston, Texas, and asking me to receive her. During the course of the conversa­ tion Miss de Anda told me that she wishes to present her compliments to Mr. Hammarskjold and speak to him about a personal matter. I have called her attention about the difficulty of such an interview, as I person­ ally cannot arrange for this meeting not knowing myself the nature of same. But in view of the interest shown by Cardinal Spellman, I am giving this letter of introduc­ tion to Miss de Anoa in the event that during your con­ versation with her you may be able to find something of interest to the Secretary-General and, at the same time, comply with the wishes of Miss de Anda. Thanking you in advance for your kind attention, I remain Very truly yours, ~ ";;. &u- ~..-~ --" Jose Felix de Lequerica Ambassador Permanent Representative of Spain to the United Nations. I asked Miss de Anda to write to you, as you were too busy at the moment to receive her; explained at the same time that an appointment would be difficult unless JPhe could give some information what it would be about. I think you "WJ uld want to see this becauseII of the introductions from Spellman and de Lequerical~. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON THE ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT May 25, 1959 Dear Mis s De Anda: I have been asked to reply to your letter to the President relative to surplus food. Your inter­ est in submitting a forthright expression of your views is appreciated. Secretary of Agriculture Benson and representa­ tives of the major wheat exporting nations met in Washington on May fourth to explore means of utilizing food in the cause of peace. I feel sure that the enclosed White House release which tells of the Food for Peace Conference will be of special interest to you. The kind wishes you extend mean much to the President. Sincerely yours, Miss Mary L. De Anda Braeswood Medical Laboratory 2259 W. Holcombe Houston 25, Texas Enclosure Mary L. DeAnda M.T. Brae.wood Medioal Laboratory 2259 W. Holoombe Houston 25, Texas May 2, 1959 President Dwight D. Eisenhower The White House Waahington, D.C. Dear Mr. Pre.ident, In my opinion, We, the people or the United states are ind.ividually beooming an acc~lioe to the crime of letting our brothers die or starvatIon. We let our tood surplus rot ~ worse, we ~ to ret It rot (Seoretary Benson r"iPOrted that it ooste us $1 Million a day just for storage of the government's aocumulation or unsold surplus farm commodities). I wander if it would oost that much to transport it to our hungry friends in other natIOns? Keeping tne prIce up in the world market Is one excuse g1ven. Well, most of the people that are in dire need of food are just going without because they can't aftord to bUt it. Yea, we would have to differentiate, determine, or ae ect those that truly could not afford to bU7 it at market. We could set an example for-our cousins in the other four surplus producing countries. I teel they are really decent and would follow suit. Because how could they dare to call thEllDUlelves our f'r1ends and anne sam. time ask our conscience to d80ay along w1th our tood just so they might enJoy more comfort and convenienoe? By tultilling our priVile~. and obligat10n or feed1ng the world's hungry, we woul not onIy gratlt7 our soul, but would gain the respect and love of our fellow humans who we would help to remain free. And the1r love or go~ ~, dear S1B, would be a most powert\11 and effective weapon against oommun1sm and therefore a great defender of ~ awn freedom. Very s1ncerely, P. S. I love you Mr. Eisenhower, because you deserve it. May God blese, keep, and guide you. IMMEDlATE RELZAS]!: May 6, 1959 James C.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

The thirty-fourth annual meeting, which was to have taken place at Cleveland on December 27 and 28, was indefinitely postponed on' account of a strong recommendation, received from the health officer of that city a few days before the date on which the meeting should have taken place, that it should be omitted because of the epidemic of influenza then prevailing in Cleveland. Yet, though there is no annual meeting to chronicle in these pages, it will be convenient to members that the formal matter spoken of above should be found in its customary place. Moreover, though no meeting of the Asso­ ciation has taken place, there was a meeting of the Executive Council held in New York on January 31 and February I, 1919, some of the transactions of which, analogous to those of the Asso­ ciation in its annual business meeting, may here for convenience be described.

URL: http://www.h-net.org/~diplo/essays/PDF/Keylor-Young.pdf Reviewed for H-Diplo by William R. Keylor, Boston University ver the past several decades two genres of historical writing have been relegated to O the margins of the discipline by the powers-that-be in the profession. The first is biography, dismissed by many as an obsolete relic of an earlier era of historical scholarship when the personal story of an individual was considered a useful means of comprehending the past. The second is diplomatic history, in the narrowest sense of that term, which addresses the thoughts and activities of a government’s official representatives abroad. Robert Young, the author of earlier studies of French foreign and defense policies, has unapologetically chosen to buck this trend. He takes as the subject of his latest book the life and career of Jean-Jules Jusserand, a diplomat who represented France in the United States from 1904 to 1925. Apart from specialists in the history of Franco-American relations during this period, it is unlikely that many historians have even heard of Jusserand, or that those who recognize the name have more than a vague knowledge of his role in representing French interests in 1 | P a g e H-Diplo Review Essay Washington.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.

C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking
