(Received November 27,' 12.20 p.m.) VANCOUVER, November 26. The Hindu problem is likely to become acute again in British. Columbia. Forty Hindus arrived by the direct . steamer from India and demanded' ad- . mission, but the' immigration authorities refused to allow,- them to enter. . The Hindus appealed to the British Columbia Courts, and, after litigation, the Provincial Supreme Court declared the Dominion regulations governing the admission of Hindus to be ultra vires. " Several particulars of-the-case.-are lilioly to be taken to the'P.rivy Council. Meanwhile, other batches of Hindus are arriving at Western Canada, where the Liberals demand a Federal Exclusion Act to immediately deal with the question. )
