SOUTH SEA ISLANDS - MAY BE SITE FOR WORLD PEACE CITY HONOLULU, Feb. 14. The Palmyra Islands, some 1,000 miles south of Hawaii will be deeded to the Pan-Pacific union as a gift if the United States agrees to with draw sovereignity from them and recognize the isles as a neutral nviolate place of refuge for all per sons who wish to confer on mat ters looking to the advancement of all interests common to the Pa cific peoples, according to an an nouncement made by the owner, L. Fullard-Leo at a Pan-Pacific luncheon. Alexander Hume Ford, director of the Pan-Pacific union, said that the offer will be taken under ad visement by the union, and its de cision as to acceptance will be re served, until the attitude of the state . department at Washington is learned. " --,-' The Islands were purchased out right several years ago from Judge Henry' E. Cooper by Fullard-Leo, who was born In South Africa but now Is an American citizen. . It has been his idea to provide some one recognized spot In the Pacific, under the flag of no nation but under the protection of all, where in peace or war- persons might meet la J perfect freedom to dis cuss any matters of import to the Pacific peoples. : , "" , "This opens up a tremendous question that will have to be de cided by the Pacific Powers," said an announcement from the union "Will they permit -such an Inde pendent island in the Pacific?" r "For a quarter of a century there has been a ' movement on foot in Europe to create a world city, where a permanent : parlia ment of the world would be held Extensive plans of the world city have been sent to the union from Rome, with a statement that in the center of the Pacific alone would such ar world capital be safe. ."The tentative offer of an Inde pendent principality to . the - Pan Pacific union, to be under the; con trol. of no nation but its perpetual peace assured by. the countries bor dering the Pacific, will doubtless cause world-wide comment, and possibly a line of International rea soning that may lead' to the approv al f the Fullard-Leo planu , f "It . may be stated - in passing that Palmyra Is a part of Ilawaal. a ward, in fact of the city of Hono lulu. --Any persons- living In Pal myra may vote for officials of the city and county of Honolulu. The city might lose an outlying ward, but if ih whole world be the gain er, she can afford to give her as sistance." ; ' Schools and Religion Fail To Keep f.Ien Out of Jail - LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14 Sur veys among : prisoners In the Lo3 Angeles county jail Indicate that ACIIARD : SIX!
