FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
A "WRONG AND HARMFUL IDEA, i DECENTRALISATION URGED. By Cable—Press Association— Received 6, 9.30 p.m. London, September 0. Mr. Herbert Samuel, Postmaster-Gen-eral. in a paper read to the British Association on Federal Government, declared that the conclusion had often bee'n drawn that natural evolution was towards centralisation.
