WILBUR REPORT FAVORS
DECENTRALI PLAN
Declares Many Activities Should
Be Managed Closer to People
Than Capital City.

By the Associated Press.
A vigorous brief for decentralization
of government lay before President
Hoover and the country today in the
annual report of Secretary Wilbur.
p The chief of the Department of the
Interior viewed without favor the re-
cent proposal of the National Advisory
Committee on Education for creation
OF Federal Department of Education.
He emphasized his conviction that
the preservation of natural resources,
care of dependent peoples, education Of
the young and similar activities should
best be managed many hundred miles
closer to the people than is the City Of
Washington"
Wilbur strongly defended, however,
the reclamation of arid lands in the
West, maintaining that the work done
so far on public lands has added only
about three-fourths of l per cent to
the eountry's crop area, while giving
the West additional purchasing power
OF more than s1,750,0oo, 900.
