OF MINERS’ JOURNAL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P.) — Petroleum Administrator for War Harold L. Ickes today branded as “erroneotis and uninformed” an editorial in the United Mine Workers Journal charging that the British were playing their “American cousins for suckers” in development of Middle’ East oil fields. “If the United Mine Workers Journal thinks our British cousins are : ‘playing us for suckers’ by taking some of our steel to develop oil fields for the production of petroleum products that are essential to winning this war, then I plead guilty,” Ickes said. ° : “Producing oil—in any area on the globe—to meet all military requirements is our principal function.”
