ABSTRACT
You may say it is quite impossible to inspire a national feeling of devotion to England among coloured races. I do not pretend to know Asiatics, but I know Africans of various kinds-and remember they vary quite as much as Europeans-and I have no hesitation
a crime between man and man, that no bribe, no gift, nothing but blood can wipe out. You may give to every true negro a Bond-street suit of clothes, a grand piano, a mangle, a Maxim gun and a university, to make him love you, and he won't, if you break your given word. Therefore I pray you, don't promise him, as America did, a vote in a vestry system, not his vestry but your own vestry, where you cannot have him. Do not promise him a thing you cannot give him; promise him something you can.
