explorers, who made a “black ex-
pedition” into Africa and a “‘yel-
llow expedition” into Central Asia
|by caterpillar automobiles, may
soon undertake a “white expedi-
|tion” across Canada into the Arctic
|cirele. Jean Alloucherie, Parisian
journalist, who describes such ex-
plorations, left here yesterday for
| Omawe to discuss the possibilities
|with General McBrien, commis-
ision of the Royal Canadian M@un-

iself an advance trip into the north
lcountry. The journalist reached
here this week from France by
the Cunarder “Aurania.”
Alloucherie will proceed by Can-

knows well and has visited before,
he will travel by airplane to Akla-

{Canadian animal life, a subject
on which he has written much for
the French press.

Alloucherie spent some time
in Prince Rupert two years ago
during a a northern trip.

The People

MeGeough, who for some months

ment as director of unemployment
elief in this province.

Mr. McGeough told of having

government over a long period. In
scores of instances he found the
imeunts excessive. He discovered |
that the government had been over-
charged repeatedly, apparently for

that goods had been purchased in|
‘arge volume that were not neces-
sary at all.

Not Entitled to It

In many instances, according to
Mr. MeGeough,- tt was found that
relief pay was granted to people
who were not entitled to it. The
staff of Allco camp, owned by the
Abernethy-Lougheed Logging Com-
pany, at one time headed by a for-
mer minister of public works, was
completely manned by those not
entitled to relief and who were on
the permanent payroll of that com-
pany, some of the salaries paid out
of relief money running as high as
$7.50 a day, while at another camp
the foreman had his family work-
ing with him, all salaries being
charged to unémployment relief
funds and amounting to over $400
a month for the family.

Engineers, according to Mr. Mc-
Geough. were allowed up to $200 a
month for their own automobiles
going from home to their work.

Extravagant Expenditure
After reviewing the history of the
plans for unemployment relief, Mr.
McGeough devotes a paragraph to
what he calls examples of “extra-

vagant and unnecessary” expen-
ditures. and adds:
“Items for: lumber purchased

through commission agents at $12.50
per thousand retail back to the

thousand; heavy roadmaking ma-
chinery to displace labor and con-
sidered defeating the ends for
which we were endeavoring to cre-
ite employment opportunities;
typewriters and adding machines
by the score for camps when skilled
office men were on direct relief;
groceries purchased from selected
merchants scattered throughout}
the province with no check on
prices; small merchants receiving
orders for groceries by the carload:
camp equipment prices were of such
a character that it was impossible
to accept—three second lianu stoves
for $700; camp cots at $6 when the
regular price should be $2.50, and
these purchased in Edmonton; tents
purehased in Ottawa while we were
trying to relieve idle factories in
| British Columbia. The situation was
so critical that I deemed it neces-
sary to present the actual invoices
for inspection at Ottawa, and pro-
ceeded there with invoices covering
several million dollars. Experts ex-
amined same and the federal gov-
ernment refused to pay them or to
be a party to having unemployment
funds used in such a manner.”
