LITTLE OFFICIAL WORK
Rough Draft Of Coming Anti

Pass Christian, Miss, Dec. 90
President Wilson today mapped out
a programme of recreation for his
visit here from which he hopes to re-
turn in vigorous health again.
The president will do little official
work. There are now two things up
permost in his mind, the selection of
the federal reserve board. and the
writing of a special address to con-
gress on the relations Of the govern
ment to 'big business" and the trusts.
Wilson will probably make a rough
draft Of his antitrust address while
here and later submit it to the lead
ers in the campaign. The injection
into the trust situation Of what the
administration regards as a growing
desire of business men to cooperate
with the government in the reorgan-
ization of companies to conform to the
Sherman law, is virtually certain to be
dwelt on by the president
