Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Official Report of the Proceedings of the Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace Conference, Held in Philadelphia, May 16, 17, 18, and 19, 1908
The Third Hague Conference, by agreement of the nations of the world, is to be held in 1913. Two years before it meets, in 191 1, the powers will appoint representatives to consider a pro gram for the conference; to make preliminary studies; and ar range for definite and intelligent consideration of important inter national questions, so far as can be done in advance. The United States group of the Interparliamentary Union followed the Second Hague Conference with much interest, and, in common with other friends of peace and international arbitra tion, felt that greater results would have followed if the delegates to The Hague had been supported by an intelligent public opinion. The Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace Conference was indirectly inspired by the leading spirits of our national group of the Interparliamentary Union, who earnestly desire a series of important State conferences to be held before 1911 and 1913, to form and provide for an effective representation of public senti ment upon the great issues, making for international friendship and world organization that should signalize the Third Hague Conference.
