CANADA TO BAR JAPS AFTER WAR

OTTAWA, Aug. 4.--(AP)--Complete exclusion of Japanese immigration after the war was announced today as a government policy by Prime Minister Mackenzie King.

A special commission will be set up to determine which Japanese now in Canada are loyal and which disloyal, he said. Those disloyal would be sent to Japan, whether or not they were born there. Those loyal would be treated justly, but would not be allowed to congregate again in British Columbia, he said.
