NEAR EAST OIL
DEAL DENOUNCED

WASHINGTON, March 6.-tRE
The Petroleum Industry's War
Council denounced Interior Secre-
tary Ickes' plan for an oil pipeline
across Arabia today as an imperi-
alistic trouble-maker bearing all
the signs of a Fascist approach
to the postwar world"
The council, in a statement it
called a white paper" called
the project venture to put the
government in ownership of a L.
000-mile long pipeline abroad.
From the industry viewpoint, it
said, the idea could be summed up
as:
1.-THE Fascist approach-the cor
porative state, with its lust for
imperialism-the Stacking of free
American enterprise, not to bet
ter serve, but to displace private
enterprise, at not only the risk but
the certainty, of international polit-
teal involvement"
Ickes last week disputed the the
ory that the pipeline would put
the government in the oil business,
saying 'this is merely facility
for the carrying of OIL" He pro-
posed the $135, 900, 900 project as
useful in the war, in his capacity
as chief of the governments Pc
troleum Reserves Corporation.
The industry war council is an
advisory group created by the Pc
troleun Administration for War,
which Ickes also heads. He and
the council, he said, have an hon
est difference of opinion" on the
pipeline project.
Since the Axis powers own no oil
reserves in the Middle East, il
added, the project amounts to ian
inter-A1lied postwar dispute in the
very midst of the present war"
