EXCLUSION.

LEGAL ARGUMENT IN PROGRESS.

Vancouver, June 30,

Innsmuch as it is especially provided that officers of the military and naval forces- aad their wives and families are not to be considered immigrants when applying for admission to -Canada, counsel for the Immigration Department in th© Komogata; Mara Hindus' case, before the Appeal Court, argued that it was thereby assumed that British subjects were to beS considered immigrants. The same section stated that on retiring' from their functions they -were to be considered to be subr ject to the' clauses flf^the Immigration Act. It was clear that Canada had the right to exclude British subjects of other Dominions.

During the morning 71 volumes of law books were laid out on th© lawyers' table for reference during the argument.
