.Before his scheduled departure for England on June 12, powell st,knows Mr. Brewin was interviewed in Toronto by the Japanese section editor of The New Canadian and the-executive sefcre-. - 'p^tf si kn&^8 , .tary of the Citizenship Defence Committee, The result of. Qf tt ^ 'that interview is reported by Mr. K, Hidaka in the Defence dark, Committee's News Letter,
Mr, Brewin, says the report, was careful not to make any
prediction as to the outcome of the appeal for the reason ......
that the case involved some unusual joints of law and legal t}l(lt g0(i again forgot j__ justification could be found on both sides. ^ daily brea+L
The outcome of the decision, 'says Mr. Brewin; may de- pow~eii st knows � pend a great deal on the attitude of the judges, and in this connection attention is drawn to the fact that the principle of individual liberties is probably more'.deeply, ingrained in the British law and tradition than in that of any other country,
Mr. Brewin has emphasized that the case will be decided purely on whether or not the Government of Canada had the power to pass the deportation Orders. The merits of the ,... deportation policy, or the methods of securing the repatria- the ^ ;tion requests thus will not:beargtieid in the 'appeal although and'Sob^ '� -these matters can be raised if necessary on cases initiated by: .poweu st knows writs of habeas corpus, v -
