into the settlement brought weapons

the Indians. Penn did not attempt to
limit his peaceful community to Qua

The king of England wanted to be

peace and liberty in England. So when
Penn proposed that the king pay a
debt owed to Admiral Penn in Amer

Before Penn left England, he had an

WASHINGTON, JAN 6.-That for

Famous painter of murals, who has for

portfolio Miss Oakley loaned by re-

it has been displayed. Now she has
taken it back to her studio at Phila-

this time because of the "holy expert
ment' in disarmament which William
Penn made in Pennsylvania
1t has been suggested that copies of
the portfolio be presented to the dele
gates at the conference, and this may
be done. 1t is pointed out by advo-

of disarmament.

gest union of the American colonies
But PENIS writings set forth this pro
posal-then a radical one.
Penn is also said to be the first to
suggest parliament of nations. Back
in 1893, he described an organization
which was to be something like the
Hague tribunal or a modern inter
national conference, at which men OF
different nations were to gather to
discuss their differences and plan for
their mutual advantage.
1t took almost another century for
the colonists to come to the idea oil

international conferences became pop

ideal of peace is achieved. That II
