Currency Boards Selection and
Trust Message Uppermost
in Mind, However.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Mlss., Dec. 20.
President Wilson today mapped out
program of recreation for his visit
here. He will sleep ut least nine
hours each night, the quota he had
hoped to get but often has missed
After breakfast he will motor to the
mississippi Country Club thirteen
miles away, for game of golf with
his physician, Dr. Cary r. Grayson,
y. y. N. At noon he will dispose
OF whatever important letters or tele-
grams may reach him from the
White House. and after luncheon will
take an automobile ride with his
family, followed perhaps by long
walk along the beach roads, The
President plans TO spend the evenings
reading.
With this proportion Of rest and
exercise he hopes to get buck to Wig
orous health again
While the President will do little
official work there are at present two
things uppermost in his mind-the
selection of members of the Federal
reserve and the writing of a special
address to Congress on the relations
of the government to "big business
and the trusts.
"SiftinE Process" for Money Board
OF the choice of members of the
board which will put into operation
the new currency system, there Is
little possibility that the President
finally will decide on any individuals
while he is here He will add to his
tentative list names which occur to
him from time to time. Through cor
respondence with close friends he will
start inquiries concerning the quail
fications of those considered. Ii Is
virtually certain the President will
use the same sitting process he used
when selecting cabinet members, care
fully scrutinizing their previous af-
filiations.
When the President returns to
Washington he probably will confer
with cabinet advisers and friends re-
garding the personnel of the board.
Those closely associated with the
President believe there will be no
nominations until the full sixtyday
period allowed by law for the selec-
tions has about expired.
L
a rough draft of his antitrust ad-
dress while here and later submit It
to leaders in the campaign. Injection
into the trust situation of what the
administration regards as a growing
desire on the part of business men to
cooperate with the government in
reorganizing their companies to con-
form with the Sherman law, 1t is vir-
tually certain, will be dwelt on by
the President.
First Message Jan. 10.
Those who conferred with Mr.. Will
son before he left Washington drew
encouragement for the ultimate es-
tablishment of an interstate trade
commission to comply with requests
for information made by business
concerns desiring accurate details of
what the Sherman law permits or
prohibits.
While such a commission would not
be given regulatory powers it would
constitute a bureau of Information
and investigation over which its adj
vocates intend the commissioner Of
corporations should preside. 1t would
assist the courts in carrying out de-
erees of dissolution by observing
whether such DEGREES are actually put
into effect.
This is one of the phases of the
trust question which in he light of
recent developments is considered
quite likely to be discussed by the
President in his address. The Presi-
dent has told friends he will deliver
the address Immediately after the
holidays.
1t Is probable it will be read on
January 10. about week after the
President has returned to the White
House and eanvassed the subject
thoroughly with his official family.
The weather today frightened and
the President enjoyed round OF golf.
His two daughters and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones, his cousin, took q
long horseback ride
