Wilson Plans Rest And Recreation For Holidays
President Wilson outlines a schedule emphasizing two hours of sleep, golf with Dr. Cary Grayson, reading evenings, and family walks to regain vigor. He weighs two major concerns: selecting members for a federal reserve board and drafting an anti trust address to Congress. He plans to start inquiries into qualifications and consult cabinet advisors upon return to Washington. He favors an interstate trade commission to regulate and inform, not merely supervise, and aims to deliver the anti trust address after holidays.
