| FRENCH l. L ERAIURE
AND ITS MASTERS, by
George Saintsbury, edited by
Huntington Cairns Knopf; $3)
The Great English critic, who
died in 1888, wrote the IL articles
in this book for the Encyclopedia
Britannica; the subjects are join
vile, Rabelais, Montaigne, Cor.
nellie, Nine. de Sevigne, Racine,
Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau,
Balzac, Gautier and French Lit
erature From the Beginning to
1900"
"As a systematic exposition Of
French literature to the English
people," Cairns says in the intro
duction, "Saintsbury was without
a peer" Considering the pains
with which that statement is quail
fled by the prudent editor, that
isn't very high praise, not so hlgh'
indeed, as the contents of some
of these papers would justify.
He could be harsh, perhaps too
harsh in the case of Voltaire, Tor
example, b ut he could write
memorable phrases: mot the
most elaborate work of Voltalre is
of much value for matter; but no!
the very slightest work of VoltaTe
is devoid of value in form" lhls
was his structure on the tempera'
mental Rousseau: "equally mag.
nant at neglect and intolefant Oh
attention.
But he was guided by unlnl,
peachable critical standards anu
Cairns emphasizes that he "caA,
not find that ne ever deVla'sa
from them"
If you think you need only JUN
to your Britannica to read theSs
and so can do without the Door,
you are perhaps mistaken. Iaess
essays are reprinted from the !ih a
edition. The index to the I44
credits Saintsbury with only lhfSs
of them: Balzac, Gautier DIV
Merimee. Parts of the others di'
there, but they are cut, IN SUM- ,,
cases sharply as if in TO-DAY

Breakdown Reported
In Negotiations for
Iran Identification
By the A1soeio'ed Press

TEHERAN, May l-Negotiat atoms
for reuniting Azerbaijan province
with the Central Iranian govern
ment have broken down, and the
delegation lead by Premier Jafar
Pishevari was expected to return to
Tabriz, cabinet minister said today.
The minister said the break fol-
lowed the Iranian cabinets refusal
to accept new proposals offered by
the Azerbaijan delegation.
A foreign Office spokesman denied
that deadlock had arisen. but
added that announcement of a
friendly termination of the confer
ence," was expected.
A foreign expert on Middle East
affairs described the development
as very serious" and said failure to
settle the problem created by the
establishment of the autonomous
regime in Azerbaijan last December
left the threat of civil war"
Breakdown Not Confirmed.
There was no confirmation in Dip
lomatic circles that a breakdown
had occurred in the negotiations,
but diplomats here said such a de-
velopment would not be surprising
since stalemate had prevailed for
several days.
A Tabriz broadcast. crlticizing de-
lays in the negotiations, declared
we are not ready to give up our
new freedom, but we are ready to
sacrifice our lives to preserve it.
At the walled estate where the
Pishevari delegation had been re-
siding for the past two weeks a
guard said, 1T is all over We are
leaving tomorrow"
The nature of the new demands
from the Azerbaijan delegation was
not disclosed. Recently Foreign
Office source said Pishevari was
making demands which Iraniar
Premier Ahmed Qavam considered
contrary to Iranian constitutional,
law.
Qavam on April % announced he
had presented the Azerbaijan gov
ernment with a seven-point pro.
posal for the return Of the province
to central government rule. He
said then that the Iranian cabinet
had decided to permit the Azerbai-
janis to have their ideals realized
as far as the constitution and laws
of the country would permit
Interviews Banned.
Under Qavam's proposals various
province officials would be elected
by provincial and city councils
while their orders would be issued
from teheran. The provincial coun.
Gil would recommend nominees fol-
governor, who would be appointed
by Teheran.
The proposals guaranteed that nc
action would be taken against thu
Democratic party members who in.
stalled the autonomous government
and promised adjustments in Aver.
baijan representation in the Iraniar
Parliament.

the other three. It tells Of the
young mans growing awareness oi
social injustice through his love
affairs with two women, one Of
whom represent middle class com.
placence, the other Of whom Is
cast as proletariat suffering. AS
often happens when an author is
using his characters as symboliza-
tions, the people Of the story lack
something of life. What is really
significant in the tale is the in
difference with which the young
intellectual who is the hero receives
his revelation. He is interested in
the horrors of the slum girls life
but only for his sensations sake
Similarly in his pursuit of the mid
die class woman, he Is repelled
when he learns what tragic reality
has given her her romantic appear
ance. He is, that is to say, a snob
himself, though he seems to be en-
gagged in anatomizing snobery. 1t is
an excellent characterization of q
