The latter was of particular importance because it enabled me to duplicate a num ber of research notes lost in the fall of 1967. In the early stages of my work on business and foreign policy I was aided by critical advice from Armin Rappaport, Lawrence W. Levine, and Thomas C. Blaisdell, Jr. I am especially indebted, however, to a longtime friend and teacher at the University of Montana, Jules Karlin, whose extensive comments about the style and content of the original manuscript went far beyond the boundaries of friendship and scholarship. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the staff mem bers at the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, the Roose velt Library in Hyde Park, the Library of Congress, and the National Archives, and to those in the manuscript divisions at Stanford, Columbia, Princeton, and Yale universities. At the Her bert Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch, Iowa, I was professionally and personally assisted by Archivist Mrs. Fay Kelly (Martha) Smith in too many ways to enumerate or ade quately thank, and I am deeply grateful to Senior Archivist Dwight M. Miller and to all of the library personnel at West Branch for facilitating my trips there.
