Canada is included because its supply is presumably drawn mainly from British Crown Colonies in the first place. India, which exports two or three million lbs. annually to the United States of America, is left out as it is not a Crown Colony.
The 1918 figures for Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom as compared with the 1912 figures show the effect of the shipping shortage and of the blockade.
The 1918 figures show conclusively how dependent the United States of America has become on British Crown Colonies for its supplies.
