Tay lor, sworn in only this morning as assistant secretary of the treasury: Herman Oliphant, treasury counsel, and Daniel Bell, acting budget di rector. Speaker Byrns reiterated that Con gress might be able to adjourn by April 15. “I don’t believe anybody would shed any tears over it,” he said.

Germany will guarantee Aus tria's independence. 3. Italy will permit the free de velopment of Pan-Germanism in Austria as long as the movement does not destroy Austria’s inde pendence.
