NEW YORK, Feb. 13.

REPUBLICANS celebrated Lincoln Day. to-day with a fighting speech by Mr. Herbert Hoover, for- mer United States President, who mercilessly derided President Roosevelt's latest budget.

Speaking at a bouquet before 1,500, at the Waldof Astoria Hotel, Mr. Hoover excoriated the New Deal spending programme, and alleged the use of federal relief funds for political purposes.

Ile declared: " is high time we returned to the system that does not play politics with human misery."

Apropos President Roosevelt's re- cent nosertion that "this generation has a rendezvous with Destiny," Mr. Houver wald: "The most probable spot for that rendezvous to-day 13 inflation. When this generation haa gone up thut alley, it will find free- dom gone, and the rendezvous will be with a full-sized delator."

He said that President Roosevelt's January budget introduced a "new school of budgetary magle, by cliiim- ing Government loans and publle works 13 investments. On the basis uf this hallucination,

He complained that there was a growing tendency by Czechs to regard Czecho- Slovakia as a national State -- bolonging to themselves.
