They _are_ attached to England, that is a fact, keep them so, by making them Englishmen.

Throw the door wide open; patronise them; enlist them in the imperial sarvice, allow them a chance to contend for honours and let them win them, if they can.

The country will be proud of them, if they go ahead.
