Dr. Hales's profound and prophetic speeches at the early Mohonk Conferences on International Arbitration, beginning in 1895 at the Mohonk House in New Paltz, New York, were epoch-making in the history of the peace cause in America. While other men were talking of special arbitration commissions Dr. Hale was already demanding a permanent international tribunal, and forecasting with confidence and marvelous precision the program which has since been adopted by the Hague Conferences. He attended most of the Mohonk Conferences down to 1907, speaking upon a wide range of subjects, and all of his Mohonk addresses are here brought together.
