The problem has been complicated by the unsettled status of Ireland and the mischief-making Tories there, and by the perplexities arising out of those British dependencies of non-British race the Indian states, for example, whose interests are sometimes in conflict with those of the Dominions.
If the whites are to combine, so will the blacks. It will be a rule by the blacks and for the blacks." The duly qualified Spaniard, Coolie, Portuguese, or man of any other non-British race, will each thus have a vote, the same as every Englishman or any other Briton. Why, then, should the vote of the Negro be so especially a bugbear?
And just as the British bring their non-British regiments into connection with the regular army, and put them under the command of British officers, so the Romans associated their "auxiliary" soldiery, mostly under Roman officers, with the regular force of the legions.
It was now that the British trading class peremptorily stepped in and used the power of government to suppress in its infancy a competition that alarmed them. Heavy export duties were now declared on every colonial article which would interfere with the monopoly which the British trading class held, and aimed to hold, while the most exacting duties were put on non-British imports.
Its collapse, at the hands of Germany or any other Power, would not mean the substitution of a non-British Empire for a British.

I hoped that the boy couldn't understand, but he did.
Not a few of the regular habitués made a home of it, even on wet days, only returning to their shelter to sleep. Youth and elegance seldom entered it, except, it might be, when a pair of lovers, of non-British birth, drifted into it, seeking refuge from the madding crowd.
The total number of burghers of both States is about fifty thousand, and that number is swollen by the addition of non-British Uitlanders who have been induced to take arms by the offer of burghership.
Just as it is a natural part of the British policy to raise bodies of Indian or African troops from among the non-British subjects of the empire, so it was an obvious course for the Romans to raise native troops in Africa, Syria, Spain, Gaul, Britain, or the German provinces on the western bank of the Rhine.
HORACE: Yes, the dirty dagoes. FEJEVARY: Hindus aren't dagoes you know, Horace. HORACE: Well, what's the difference? This foreign element gets my goat. SENATOR: My boy, you talk like an American. But what do you mean Hindus? FEJEVARY: There are two young Hindus here as students. And they're good students. HORACE: Sissies. FEJEVARY: But they must preach the gospel of free India non-British India.
