Great New York Audience
Told About Covenant.
COMPROMISE IS ACCEPTED
Democratic Candidate Says Finan
cial Power of America Should
Keep Armies Out of Europe.
NEW YORK. Oct. 23. Governor
Cox delivered his league of nations
message to a great audience in Mad
ison Square Garden tonight, and emphasizing-
business and economic con
siderations, declared America's "suc
cessful future depends upon entrance
into the league at the earliest possi
ble moment."
Willingness to make "some com
promise" on league reservations was
declared by the candidate. He re
Iterated that he would accept "help
ful reservations." If elected, he said,
he "would lift this issue out of poll
tics by effecting a result which will
insure the entrance of the United
Btate into the league, with the idea
of perfecting it and obtaining for
ourselves the benefits which will
accrue."
Dollars Injected Into I--;nc.
Governor Cox's speech, closing his
Atlantic coast campaign and climax
ing a day of receptions, luncheons and
other events, stressed agricultural,
industrial, banking and other argu
ments for American participation in
the league.
"The most serious depression the
country has ever witnessed." h pre
dict), would follow if the league
cause" was lost. Business depression
already, he declared, "has grown in
tense" as a result of Senator Hard
ing s statements of his league atti
tude. Reiterating that flnancJxl rehabili
tation, credit and power, together
with increased resources, resulting
from disarmament would flow into
the treasury from the league's suc
cess. Governor Cox declared:
Compromise Dranrd Kenuarr.
"If 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, we can
write the word 'American" across the
ijro or me zotn century history in
letters of light."
Regarding compromising on the
league reservations he said:
"It is going to be necessary to make
some compromise, and that I am will
ing to do. I am for the ratification
with reservations. I will accept reser
vations that are helpful, that will
clarify, that will reassure our people,
and that will make clear to our asso-
elates In the league the limitations of
uur c-onsiiiuiion. beyond which we
cannot go, among which are the
Hitchcock reservations.
Citing Senator Hitchcock's reserva
tion to article 10. Governor Cox re
peated that he would consider his
election a "mandate" for entrance
into the league.
Suggestions Are Rrslred.
"No suggestion from whatever
source will be rejected so'long as that
suggestion is for helpful purpose and
not for destruction." he added.
Another promise made was that re
alizing the necessity for reforming
federal agencies, he would not hesi
tate to call on any man for aid.
"I am keenly aware of the. neces
sity to improve and modernize the
legislative machinery of our federal
government and to bring into contact
the best brains and experience Amer
ica contains," he said. "The United
States government will be called upon
next year to expend between four and
five billion dollars. I believe in team
work. I recognize the evils that have
come through bitter partisanship. My
effort, therefore, will bo to overcome
this condition and I shall not hesitate
to call on any man. be he democrat
or republican, independent or progres
sive, who can serve his country,
l.raflrtie itfnrea Sicceis.
"America has been thrown into the
world's economic whirlpool and has
been held thero while conspirators
worked their will for partisan ad
vantage. We have had enough of
this. 1 pledge myself to put the In
terests of America and of humanity
above those of party in the solution
of this vital problem. It Is my con
viction that America's successful fu
ture depends upon entrance into the
league of nations at the earliest pos
sible moment."
Detailing his economic and other
business arguments for the league.
Governor Cox said in part:
"Since my last visit to New York
I have been in most of the, states. I
want to impress upon you the condi
tion in which I find business every
where I go, of the decline in prices, of
the loss to agriculture, of the depres
sion in Industry and of the very pres
ent potential decrease irk the need for
labor.
"Partisan riot" Denounced.
"We should not have to be dealing
with a question of our entrance into
the league. This matter should have
been disposed of months ago. But for
the partisan plot America would now
be riding on full tide of prosperity
to which she is entitled and which
ought to be hers for years to come.
"As matters stand, there can be no
reconstruction undertaken. There
can be no re-establishment of stabil
ity of business conditions until a de
rision is made, and made right, and
this di-cjsioii will be msde at the

I "The base conspiracy hatched In the
senate to defeat the cause of world
peace has created a condition from
which we will not recover for months.
And I make the prediction definitely,
unless within a year we have entered
the league of nations there will be the
most serious depression the country
has witnessed."
America Helpless Without League.
Declaring the league needs America
and America "Is helpless without it,"
he discussed trade balances and said
that America's now is 1. 000,000, 000
and that interest on Europe loans
adds $600,000,000 more.
"This financial power," he con
tinued, "makes us the master of the
rest of the world. In the league we
could organize the business of re
construction on a basis of mutual
confidence. Europe is bankrupt,' ap
pealing to us to take a receivership
over its affairs.
"Republican politicians are telling
the people that business conditions
can only be improved by the election
of the reactionary candidate. If he
is elected the rejection of the league
will be assured; with rejection, dis
armament will be impossible: military
and naval competition between the
nations would have to continue: in
ternational credit cannot be restored;
LO yviii cunnnue to rail off, and
the world will be indeed fortunate if
It is not visited with a gigantic
financial panic."
BREAD PRICE STAYS UP
Drop as Result of Recent Decline
in Flour Unlikely.
No immediate drop in bread prices
is likely to result from the decline
in flour, according to local bakers.
There is too much fluctuation in
flour prices at present and until flour
reaches some stable figure no re
vision in bread prices can be expected,
bakers said yesterday.
Bakers declared that the 40-cent
drop in flour prices yesterday would
mean a reduction of about a quarter
cent in the cost of producing a loaf
of bread. Until the decline is sut
flcient to make a difference of a cent
in the cost of production they said
there could be no hope of a reduction
in bread prices.
COX AND WILSON AGREE
(Continued From First Page.)
the meaning and sufficiency of the
democratic platform.' President Wil
son announced he found that he and
Governor Cox were 'absolutely as one
with regard to the great issue of the
league of nations.'
Old Guard Wmt Weaken.
'There is still a valiant old guard
which, in spite of a complete demon
stration of what article 10 means and
its antagonism to our most funda
mental principles, are determined to
resist to the last the assaults of clear
est reasoning. - They say that Mr.
Wilson did not insist on the agree
ment without change. They also as
sert that Mr. Cox is willing to accept
reservations.
"What Is meant when it is said
that Mr. Wilson did not insist on the
covenant without change? Is it
meant eimply that Mr. Wilson was
willing to agree to reservations or
interpretations which did not affect
the substance or true import of the
covenant as he submitted it? If so.
the issue remains precisely the same,
for the republican party objects to
the covenant in substance as he sub
mitted it, and especially because that
covenant contained in article 10 a
provision vicious in its substance and
true import. Is it meant that Mr.
Wilson was willing to agree to res
ervations which eliminated the obli
gation to be assumed by article 10?
If so. to use their own mode of ex
pression the assertion is false, dem
onstrably false.
Hitchcock Letter Recalled.
"Mr. Wilson's letter to Senator
Hitchcock a late as March 8. 1920,
clearly states his position beyond any
possibility of cavil. Did this letter
state that Mr. Wilson was willing to
accept a reservation which in any
way impaired the obligation to be
assumed under article 10? Not 'at
all. He stated the exact contrary.
"The president has recently said
there is nothing in the covenant
which in the least interferes with
or impairs the right of congress to
declare war, or not declare war, ac
cording to its own independent judg-.
ment, as our constitution provides.'
I confess that were this statement
not over his signature I should find
It difficult to credit it."
LEGION ENTEHS POLITICS'
OHIO CEXTER OP BIG FIGHT
. IX COXGRESSIOXAL RACE.
Colonel George A. White Approves
Plan to Defeat Candidate Who
Is Enemy of War Veterans.
Is the American Legion Justified In
taking part in a political campaign,
in view of the political limitations
fixed by Its constitution?
It Is, in the opinion of the new na
tional commander. P. W. Galbraith,
of Cincinnati, O., and the chances are
that the moral force of the legion will
be thrown Into a campaign to beat
one of the candidates for congress in
Ohio. ,
Commander Galbraith put the prob
lem up to Colonel George A. White of
Oregon yesterday in a telegram, and
as the man who prepared the non
political policy for the legion when it
was first being organized overseas.
White concurred in Commander Gal
braiths stand, urging that he go 'the
limit in defeating the candidate in
question.
Un-American . conduct before and
during the war, disloyalty to the flag
and a public declaration that, if elect
ed, he. will oppose all appropriations
for beneficial soldier legislation and
for disabed soldiers, are the charges
which National Commander Galbraith
brings against the Ohio candidate for
congress. The candidate is described
as conducting a campaign appealing
to those who are not in sympathy
with sound Americanism and who
would deprive disabled and other ex
service men of Just treatment at the
hands of congress.
"If you are certain of the facts, the
whole moral force of the American
Legion should be thrown into the
fight against this man," Colonel
white replied. "Our fundamental
purpose is to uphold American
ideals and perpetuate a better
Americanism. For the American-Legion
to remain passive in the face of
such a candidate and such a campaign
as he is conducting would be inex
cusable and a betrayal of our great
est responsibility to the country and
to our comrades. The non-political
plank is meant to keep the legion out
of the clutches of designing poli
ticians, and not to tie our hands whtfn
decent Americanism is assailed. I
hope you get into the fight with both
feet."
The name of the candidate, or the
party he was nominated by, was not
indicated in Commander Galbraith's
telegram. '
