It was suggested to- day that his breakdown might cause this “round table” to be canceled, and another one called later, when new lists of representatives, more sat, isfactory to those who object to the present ones, could be prepared. Wilson is still holding to his post- tion that the industrial situation can not permanently be stabilized and food prices and taxes reduced until peace is established by treaty ratifi cation. As soon as Dr, Grayson permits, Wilson is expec to receive Gen. Pershing at the White How He also ants to see Cardinal Mereter.
