[11] It must be remembered that these figures show national origins, not racial. The numbers credited to such countries as Poland, Russia, and Austria-Hungary therefore include very large proportions of Jews.
[12] These are the countries of the Western Hemisphere, of which Canada and Mexico have been the largest contributors.
[13] This would, of course, include all Germany.
[14] The Hoover Committee on Social Trends, in re National Origins, says that "about 85 per cent of the Whites in the United States in 1920 were from strains originating in northwestern Europe where Nordics predominate."
