New York, Oct. Ex-Governor Cox delivered his league of nations mes sage to q great audience in Madison square garden tonight and emphasiz- ing business and economic considera- tions, declared America's Successful future depends upon entrance into the league at the earliest possible moment.
 Willingness to make "some com- promise" upon league reservations was declared by the Democratic can didate. He reiterated that he would accept "helpful reservations' if elect- ed and said he would lift this is- sue out of politics by effecting result which will insure the entrance of the United States into the league, with the idea of perfecting it and obtaining for ourselves the benefits which will accrue"
 Governor Cox's speech, closing his Atlantic coast cmpaign and climaxing day of receptions, luncheons and otEer events, stressed agricultural industrial, banking and other argu- monts for American participation in the league.
 "The most serious depression the country has ever witnessed" was pre- dcted by the nominee if the league cause was lost. Business depression already, he declared, "has grown in- tense," as a result of Senator Hard- ing's statement on his league atti- tude.
 Explains Finance Outcome
 Reiterating that financial rehabili- tation, credit and power together with increased resources resulting from disarmament would flow from the leagues success, Governor Cox declared:
 eff we go into the league our finan- cial power will guarantee that we shall never have to send an American army to fight in Europe. If we meet the opportunity that calls to us, we can write the word American" across the pages of the twentieth century in letters of light"
 uPOH tAkC league reservations, Governor Cox said:
 "It is going to be necessary to make some compromise to secure the desired end, and that I am willing to do. I am for the ratification of the league with reservations and have SO stated my position in every speech made from the Atlantic to the Pacific I will accept reservations that are helpful, that will clarify, that will reassure our own people, and that will make clear to our associates in the league, the limitations of our con- stitution, beyond which we cannot go, among which are the Hitchcock res ervations.
 Another promise made by Governor Cox was that realizing necessity for reforming federal agencies, he would not hesitate to call upon any man for aid, regardless of his politics.
 MOdernize Machinery
 "As an executive of some experi- ence, as result of knowledge gained as member of the appropriations committee in congress and as busi- ness man who spent his days and nights to make the ledger balance. I am keenly aware of the necessity to improve and modernize the executive machinery of our federal government and to bring into contact the best brains and experience America con tains." he said.

 "The United States government will be called upon next year to ex- pend between four and five billion dollars. I believe in team work"
 In Economic Whirlpool
 "America has been thrown into the worlds economic whirlpool, and has been held there while consipatorsA worked their will for partisan ad- vantage. We have had enough of this condition. I pledge myself to put the interests of America and of humanity above those of party in the solution of this vital problem. It is my conviction that Americas successful future depends upon en- trance into the league of nations at the earliest possible moment"
 Detailing his economic and other business arguments for the league Governor Cox said in part:
 "But for the partisan plot, Ameri- ca would not be riding on full tide of prosperity to which she is entit-& led and which ought to be here for years to come. As matters stand there can be no reconstruction un- dertaken. There can be no reestab- lishment or stability of businessS conditions until decision is mndes
