Army's System

EAST LANSING, Dec. 90
(P)-Tsking a tip from acceler'
ated Army-Navy courses which
teach men to speak foreign lam
guages in IL weeks, Michigan
State College hopes to place in
effect next fall an experiment
plan of teaching languages with
emphasis on speaking them.
The plan was approved Tues
day by the MISC. administra-
tive group and needs only final
authorization from the general
faculty and the board of agri-
culture, according TO Dean l.. c.
Emmons Of the liberal arts di-
vision.
Based on methods now being
used to train Army and Navy
men, Dean Emmons said similar
plans have been adopted recent
ly by the College of the city of
New York and the University
OF California. He said MISC. is
believed TO be the first Michi-
gan school TO consider adding
such courses of its regular
civilian curriculum.
Dean EmmonS asserted the
college had become interested
in the new method after OBJ
serving the rapid progress Army
trainees on the campus had
made with the conversational
method. In less than II weeks
their instructors had reported
them able 10 carry on simple,
practical conversations.
The proposed plan calls for
the introduction of a tWo-year
sequence in French, German,
Spanish and Portuguese 10
teach the languages with en-
phasis on speaking, although
grammar and reading will not
be excluded, ne explained. Stu
dents Will meet three hours a
week for instruction in gram
mar and language structure in
groups Of so and will spend
nine hours a week in groups OF
not more than IS for converse
ton classes. The proposal calls
for the conversation classes to
be conducted by teachers VINO
have had extensive experience
in speaking the languag c
taught.
The new courses would be
offered as alternates TO the
present type of instruction
which emphasizes grammar and
reading. Dean Emmons said.
He reported that the liberal
arts faculty had recommended
an evaluatIon project TO meas
ure the relative success OF the
two methods OF teaching begin
ming foreign language.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-(P)
- A plan to scrap the idea of
ever signing peace treat with
Germany has been laid before
all the United Nations, il was
disclosed today. A simple dec
laration of peace would be issued
instead.
The sweeping departure from
international practise was adj
vanced in a document which al
SO suggested a United lIations
court to try Hitler, Mussolini
and other Axis leaders.
The ideas were put forward
By General Marcel de Baer, Bel
glan member OF the London AL
lied Commission 10 investigate
war crimes, and chairman of the
Mar Criminal Commission of
The London international AS
sembly, an unofficial Allied re-
search group.
Since we can declare war,
why not declare peace?' dc
Baer said in an interview.
EYE PLAN
The State Department is now
studying the proposal.
He said that before treaty
could possibly be signed with
the Axis powers, there would
have TO be a long transitional
period Other high a erican
authorities have previously eX-
pressed the same conviction.
During this period if the AL
lies remain in a technical state
OF war with Germany, as they
would under an armistice. they
would be hamstrung by the
Hague convention and other
rules Of international law which
govern the actions of occupying
forces in wartime, de Baer said.
Thus, he went on, unless the
United Nations want 10 denounce
the principles Of law for which
they have been fighting, they
VIII be unable to junk Ger
many's Nazi legal system, even

Belgian Proposes Simple
Declaration Ending War
Cites Need for Long Transition
Period Following End Of Combat

though they clean out Nazi per-
sonnet.
German courts alone could
try war criminals not under the
jurisdiction of other countries.
De Baer suggests that when
Germany surrenders uncondi-
tionally, the Allies proclaim that
the state of war with her has
ended Then they would have
unlimited rights in the occupied
territory and could proceed to
recognize Germany under the
sign Of peace.
CHARACTER is KEY
When Germany finally has de-
veloped into a country accept
able to the family of "peace-lov-
ing states" described in the
Moscow declaration, de Baer
went on, a general treaty set
ting forth the world organiza-
ton TO maintain peace could be
signed.
Settlements between Allies
could be made as the need arose,
instead of in the tense atno-
sphere OF a peace conference.
De Baer proposed an interna-
tional court Of IS judges, Unit
ed Nations prosecuting attorney
and an international constabu-
larry to carry out the attorney
orders.
The draft convention drawn
up by his committee provides
for defense counsel, and the rule
is stated that no one shall be
tried in abSentia The Moscow
declaration that war criminals
shall be pursued to the ends of
the earth is supplemented by a
provision that member govern
ments agree 10 hand over any
one for whom the prosecutor has
issued a warrant.
Punishment is 10 be carried
out by the state requesting trial
and hearings, with some eXcep-
tons, are 10 be conducted pub
licly.

large that there is no difficulty in
giving them the proper spacing at
planting time. In the case of corn,
cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers,
squash, etc. crops whose seeds are
widely spaced at planting time,
quiok-maturing crops may be plant
ed between them and the space
utilized. Lettuce may be planted
between the cabbage. Spinach may
be sown in the rows where the
others are to be planted later on.
Radishes and onions are often used
as filters
Between the rows of later-matur-
ing crops, such as pale lima beans,
is very good place for early crops
like peas, spinach, turnips, etc. This
use OF the space is well justified
since the entire area must be kept
cultivated if we are to keep out
weeds and to keep the soil loose so
that air and moisture may pene-
trate. If properly done the early
maturing crops do not interfere
with the growth Of the later season
crops.
The accompanying table of dis
tances between rows and between
plants in the row is based upon hand
cultivation. In the small Victory gar
den where space is very limited the
distances between the rows may be
reduced somewhat, recognizing that
additional moisture and plant food
will be needed to offset the croWding.

ing and dividing after the foliage
has matured.
A soil that has been deeply worked
is less likely to suffer from drought
than one that has not been loosened.
Working the soil permits moisture
to penetrate, whereas a compact soil
usually sheds a large proportion of
the rainfall. If humus has been in
corporated the water holding capac-
lty is further increased. These two
steps in making the garden less
dependent upon the hose for sup
plies of moisture during periods of
deficient rainfall must be taken be-
ground.
Vegetable gardeners, especially
beginners, will find it desirable to
order vegetable plants at an early
date. Commercial producers are
growing the largest supply Of plants
in history, but the demand is ex-
pected to be greater than they can
supply. The wise gardener will
place his order for the kinds that
he prefers and then prepare the
soil so that they will grow and
produce the kind of crops that we
read about.

Two-year- raspberry plants
may be depended upon to fruit the
first year. They are the only fruit
crop that we may plant in the
spring and harvest crop from the
first season. Strawberries should
not be permitted to fruit until
the second season. Fruit trees, in
cluding the dwarf forms. seldom
fruit before the second year and
oftentimes not until the third year.
Grapevines ordinarily do not pro-
duce until the second year.

Crowded Sowing Is Waste Of Seed
Ample audPl Is fore

The Victory gardener with a
limited amount of space is very apt
to put his rows of vegetables too
close and to SOW or set the plants
in the rows too thickly. Plants
need room to grow If they are to
produce desirable crops Similarly,
If plants are placed so close to-
gether that they do not get suffi-
cient sunlight and air they are very
apt to suffer from disease Crowd
ing, in short, is waste of seed. It
deprives the plants of adequate food
and moisture, and encourages the
development of disease, not to men
ton that it makes cultivation and
harvesting more difficult for the
gardener.
Garden crops vary considerably in
their habits of growth and the in
experienced gardener should follow
the directions on the seed packet or
those given in the seed catalog as
to the width between the rows and
the distance between plants How
ever. it is we'll to remember that the
distances given are averages, that
under conditions Of intensive cul-
ture they may be reduced somewhat.
Where cultivation and care are less
frequent and thorough it is better
to increase the spacing that each
plant may have a larger area in
which to search for food and mois-
ture. Rich soils produce larger
growing plants than do soils of lower
fertility so plants on the former
need more space than on the latter.
Where hand tools are to be used,
AS is the case in most Victory gar
denS, the rows may be spaced much
closer than where power tools (trac-
tor and animaD are to be emploved
Even closer paintings are practic-
able where the crops are to be
grown in narrow beds and the cul-
tlvatlon may be carried on from
loot paths between the beds.
What may appear wide spacing
when the seedlings first push
through the ground will oftentimes
appear undesirable crowding as the
plants reach maturity. When the
beets are thinned to 2 or 3 inches
apart, each plant will appear frail
and lost. Three or four weeks
later when they are approaching
maturity those same roots may be
touching each other
