arrangements for deportees (expenses of deportation) and other logistical considerations
(e.g., passports, baggage, transportation, accommodations); extensive discussion about
the role of the Custodian of Enemy Property (i.e., travelling to internment sites to make "collections" of assets, disbursing
property registration forms, disbursing receipt for effects forms) and other administrative
matters concerning the transfer of property and funds to Japan; notices informing Japanese Canadians and Japanese nationals who are being deported
on these matters; correspondence with United States authorities on the procedure; inquiries into the details of procedure; and correspondence
regarding the legalities of the deportation (e.g., possibility of re-entry into Canada) and the validity of the deportation orders (discussions of the Supreme Court Reference Case decision and the UK Privy Council appeal).

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.
