Attorney General Brownell
said today a Government pro-
gram to promote expansion and
diversif1cation of nickel produc-
ton has reduced United States
dependence on a Canadian
firm.
The concern he mentioned
was international Nickel Co
of Canada, Ltd, described as
the long-dominant Supplier OF
American needs, both military
and civilian.
Mr.. Brownell said that when
the Korean War started in
1850, the United States had tc
look to INCO for more than
IS per cent of all the primary
nickel used in this country. He
added that INCO had estab-
lished the market price Of
nickel since the end of Worlc
War I.
Dependence Reduced
BY this year, he reported. the
dependence upon INCO hac
been so reduced that the Ma
ton now relies on the Canadian
company for about Sc per cent
Of United States needs.

ton of National Lead Co. anc
Cuban interests under thu
name of Cuban Nickel Co.

terests are preparing to entel
the field with indications o.
