they frankly believe there is a fair chance that the European war may end within a few weeks if the em- bargo is not speedily repealed.
 According to ther argument which is based on their own anal ysis, and does not pretend to rest on any inside news from abroad England and France are nearly ready to negotiate a peace, and are holding of chiefly because they hope the embargo will be repealed and American lelp (this is still the isolationists' argument) will be available.

Isolationists Gain New Hope As Borah, Johnson Accept Cash-and-C Carry Plan

One peace organization here, which tries to keep a realistic check on senate sentiment, says that 1t has 20 senators definitely listed as still on the fence. Since the isolationist group now claims g thick-and-thin supporters, this would that neither side as yet has a majority.
 Although the house of represen- tativeS unexpectedly maltreated the Bloom bill last spring, there is little chance now that it will do other than accept the administration plan, if that plan gets by the senate.
 This is at least partly because of parliamentary technicality What is officially before the senate is the house-passed Bloom bill, with amendments. If it passes the sen- ate it will go to conference com- mittee of the two houses; what the house will then get will simply be a conference report, and in that case the leadership can very easily limit debate to a minimum and in othe1 ways make it simpler to get the meaure approved.

issued by Senator Borah after meeting at which the block agreed to accept the balance of the admln- istration's bill if the administration would agree to continue the arms embargo.
 Most of the bloc had felt that way all along, but its two most famous members-Senators Borah and Johnson - had been dead against it. For the administration bill includes the famous cash-and- carry plan, and Johnson and Borah have been bitterly against that from the start.
 As long as these two distln- guished isolationists refused to swallow cash-and-carry, the so- lationist bloc coud not be united. Such men as Senator Nye and Senator Vandenberg were insist ing that the embargo clause was the one thing in the entire bill that was worth a fight; but with put Borah and Johnson it was lm- possible to map out strategy on that basis.
 SWALLOW OBJECTIONS
 TO STRENGTHEN LINES
 What finally happened was that Borah and Johnson agreed, for the sake of beating the embargo repeal, to swallow their objections to cash and-carry.
 Skimpy attendance at recent sessions of the senate had led to predictions that vote can be had much sooner than was originally expected The isolationists dis agree; they say good many speeches remain to be made, and predict that if, as and when amendments to the pending bill are brought up from the floor great deal of time will be con- Sumed - because then it'll be a free for-au and anything can hap pen.'

New angles on Flaubert's liter
ary life and a lively manner of
projecting them distinguish this
portrait of the French self styled
romanticist who probably did more
for the exact realistic novel than
any other novelist of his time.
This is glowing account of the
robed recluse which, in itself. more
closely resembles a novel than BIZ
ography. 1t reveals many of the
details which have heretofore been
generally overlooked or disregard
ed; the bourgeois France which so
nauseated Flaubert and his group
of friends is rescusitated by Mr..
Steegmuller to good effect although
it is made to suffice as background

Democracy Has Roots
BIZ Milburn Lincoln Wilson
Mem York: Carrick & EpGns.

By Milburn Lincoln WILSON,.
Ne1D York.: Carrick G. Evans.
Mr.. Wilson is the Undersecretary
of Agriculture, and he has loyal
feeling for the farmer as the demo-
cratic keystone. I'm the countries
of the Western world the farmers
have been and are today the back
bone of democracy" his book says.
"The countries in Europe that are
safely democratic are democratic be-
cause their farmers are democratic;
countries like France or Switzerland,
or Denmark or Sweden; countries
that have farmers who cling to the
ideals of individual property and
individual freedom" The book re-
minds us also that all successful
revolutions against existing govern
mental forms succeeded through the
help of the farmer.
Democracy Has Roots" is the
product of Mr.. Wilson's ideas, but It
is not wholly his work. 1t is sum-
mary of lectures and conferences on
the democratic process held year
ago at the Department of Agricul-
ture Graduate School under Mr.. Will
sons direction. It synthesizes inter-
esting expositions on the state of
American democracy presented by
notable group of thinkers. It en-
phasizes the place of agriculture with
over-great enthusiasm, but it is a
short, clear work which will stir the
brains of those of us who daily are
made conscious that we live in Q
time when economies Is king Of all
and the guide Of politics.-B. B.
