In the colonial trade, on the other hand, very marked British gains could be reported. The commercially backward communities of Canada, etc., forbidden now to admit American ships, or to import many articles from the United States, and given special privileges in the West Indies, had more than doubled their imports from the mother country; the amount rising from £379,411 to £829,088.
The population of Ireland, which in 1792 was estimated at 4,088,226, had increased in 1814 to 5,937,856, in 1821 to 6,801,827, and in 1841 to 8,196,597. In other words, the population, like the trade, of the doomed island had more than doubled since the Union. We doubt if any European country could say as much.
Briefly, then, on July 1, 1917, three months after the declaration of war, the number of officers had increased to 8,038 4,694 regulars, 3,344 reserves and the number of enlisted men to 171,133 128,666 regulars, 32,379 reserves, 10,088 National Naval Volunteers. The expansion of aviation in the navy has been of gratifying proportions and effectiveness.
