English citations of carry

  • 1900 December 26th, Viator (pseudonym?), “The Polish Danger” (Letter to the Editor) in The Times, № 36,342 (Thursday 3rd January 1901), page 5/6:
    It must not be thought that all parties alike in Prussia approve of the “blood and iron” policy of the Government, which appears directly ungrateful, after the Poles have by their votes, freely given, enabled the Emperor to carry his Navy Bill. Dr. Delbrück some years ago, in the Preussische Jahrbücher, pointed out strongly the impolicy of systematically abalienating the one Slav race, a race of soldiers, whose support will be most valuable when the long-expected struggle comes about between Germans and Russians. Why, so he asks, deliberately drive the Poles into the arms of Russia?
