Last April, at the age of HM, he suc ceeded Dr, John F, Thompson as chairman and chief officer Mr, Wingate described Interna tional Nickel as an international partnership "Its ore reserves are extlu. sively in Canada and its markets are close to being essentially non Canadian, We have ex. panded and will continue to ex pand Canadian use of nickel, but consumption Is governed by pnp ulation, and there is no reason to hope that Canada can con sume more than a maximum of perhaps five per cent of the nickel she is capable of produc ing, It is necessary to win mar kets in all parts of the world to give value to the resources can locate and open up "Financially also, Inco Is a partnership, Slightly under 50 per cent of the shares are owned in the United States, about two. thirds of the balance in Canada, and the remainder in the rest of the world, Outside of the US and Canada, the largest owner: shin is in the United Kingdom "In top management, the trend heen for more positions filled by Canadians "When 1 first came to the com pany, out of five senior officials, one was Canadian and four were Americans, Now, .in the same corresponding group, there are I got a tele Stan Mi fom get to railw and then two days by train to get to Con stantinople (now Istanbul), "We travelled by wagon gendarmes up front and behind with rifles (0 protect us from Kurdish raiders.
