The price of wheat was also stabilized , and the Food Administration went ahead with campaigns to encourage rationing food as well as donating it.
Formerly a Liberal Party stronghold, the industrial districts switched to Labour by 1922, with a base among the Irish Catholic working class districts. However, the "Reds" operated within the Labour Party and had little influence in Parliament; the mood changed to passive despair by the late 1920s. The National War Labor Board was established in 1918 to help settle any labor disputes or arguments that might arise in the workplace. The Board supported an eight-hour work day, equal pay for women, and the right for workers to organize themselves and to bargain collectively for their rights. Despite these positions, the Board was not in favor of laborers going on strike, as it was seen as a disruption.

Meanwhile, although population growth continued during the war years, it was only half that of the prewar rate. Per capita incomes also declined sharply, failing by 16 percent. At the outbreak of war, patriotic feelings spread throughout the country, and many of the class barriers of Edwardian era faded during the years of combat. However, the Catholics in southern Ireland moved overnight to demands for complete immediate independence after the failed Easter Rebellion of 1916. About 10.9 million combatants and seven million civilians died during the entire war, including many weakened by years of malnutrition; they fell in the worldwide Spanish Flu pandemic, which struck late in 1918, just as the war was ending.
London provided assurances that it would underwrite a large amount of the war risk insurance for shipping to allow trade amongst the Commonwealth nations to continue. London imposed controls so that no exports would wind up in German hands.
