B. Shipment and Treatment Overseas. (a) (b) (c) (d) GENERAL HUNTER explained that the policy was to get as many prisoners of war out of the country as the Dominions would take. Some had already gone to Canada and Australia might take possibly 1,000. A camp in Newfoundland had been prepared but the Federal Board did not agree to its use for prisoners of war. It might be possible for a thousand internees from Canada to be transferred to the latter country, in which case Canada would be able to take another thousand prisoners of war.
