 In Sky Urged
BY DEAN w. DITTMER

Washington, June 11-UP)-Jo. sephus Daniels, Secretary of Nav, during World War declared today that demands for peacetime military conscription were based on fear cynicism and imperialism.
 The type of preparedness America needs, he said, is that which vii give conquest of the skies"
 The 83-year-old Raleigh, N. c. publisher testified before the House postwar military policy committee on proposals to require all able bodied young men to take a years military training after the war is over.
 He asserted that there was little demand outside of Washington and official and military circles for this radical departure from system of government that has been our sound foundation in all our history
 The propaganda for compulsory military service for American youth is based upon three false premises. '" Daniels declared: l. Fear, and hold with Franklin Roosevelt that the only thing to fear is fear itself.'
 2. "Cynicism, the disbelief in the ability of our civilization to rise out of savagery."
 3. Imperialism, the desire that Uncle Sam shall abandon Democ- racy.'
 He said it was too early to deter mine what size land, sea or air forces would be needed in the fu- ture, but "at the most there will be need only for small compact land force"
 Planes alone will not win a war, he said, but the outstanding les son taught by World War II is that the nation which commands the air is the nation that can rule the world''
 T put emphasizes on the sort of preparedness this war has taught will win victories, and not on the discredited broken stick of universal compulsory conscription," he said.
 The imperative preparedness of tomorrow is that which will give conquest of the skies"
 He advocated keeping an adequate military force after the war to guarantee national security and un- til it is determined what the United States must do to contribute its share to an international police force.
 He said that if men are needed for the land forces in the postwar period they should be recruited by voluntary enlistment which can be done If the pay is adequate, the dignity of youth respected, educa- tion provided and the door to pro- motion opened"

 Do not ask us If we miss him; Oh' there's such vacant place; Oft we think we hear his footsteps And we see his smiling face: Days of sadness still come OCT us, Tears of sadness often flow; Memory keeps him ever near us Since he left us one year ago.
