Big Attack on New Deal Begun

Republicans Make Ready for Presidential Campaign Washington, Feb. 12.

The Republican Party, celebrating Lincoln's Birthday, to-day opened an aggressive attack on the Roosevelt Administration in preparation for the 1940 Presidential campaign and forthcoming Congressional elections.

Republican National Headquarters appealed to organized labour and "all discontented factions" to unite with the Republicans in an anti-New Deal drive.

The Republicans were expected to organize strong opposition to any the Democratic Party to President Roosevelt for a third term, unprecedented in American history.—United Press.
