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.
