This file contains a memorandum dated 18 April 1944 concerning the affairs of "Japanese
in Canada." The memorandum discusses recommendations for policy including the following: segregating
"loyal" from "disloyal" Japanese Canadians and nationals (with those "disloyal" being
subject to deportation after the war); assistance provided to those who expressed
a desire to return to Japan; "re-settlement of loyal Japanese during the war which might achieve permanency"
(to achieve dispersal and eliminating "problem arising out of their concentration
in British Columbia"); and the examination of individual cases by a Commissioner.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
