The spirit of British imperialism is predominantly super- national. In this connection, the following sentences of Lord Milner may well be quoted. In 19 13, he wrote: " Do not let me be thought to advocate the ' anglicization ' of the non-British races of the Empire, or to wish to force them into a British mould. Imperialism is something wider than * Anglo-Saxondom ' or even than ' Pan-Britannicism.' The power of incorporating alien races, without trying to dis- integrate them, or to rob them o...f their individuality, is char- acteristic of the British imperial system. It is not by what it takes away, but by what it gives, not by depriving them of their own character, language, and traditions, but by ensuring them the retention of all these, and at the same time opening new vistas of culture and advancement, that it seeks to win them to itself." 29 The American system is just the reverse.
