TURKISH OFFICIAL,
 UPHOLDS CLAIM

NEW YORK, April 14..-Prttests of European nations against the "s1oo. . uoo,ooo concession granted by the turkish government to American capitalists led by Admiral Colby Chester and Gen. George w. Goethals s are not worth the paper they are writ ten on, according tC Fuad Bey, Fur klsh representative. who arrived here recently, declared tonight.
 pr. Fuad, known to political ob- servers as the eyes and ears of the Turkish government" declared that 1t was entirely within the province of the Turkish national assembly at Angora to grant the concession to the American capitalists and that no ether nations had right to inter- fere.
 Purely Domestic Issue.
 The decision of the national as sembly in this question of the Ches- ter concession is purely a matter of Turkish domestic politics." he de- clared. "The decision was prompted by these two fundamental principles of Turkish policy:
 "1. Safeguarding of Turkeys com plete independence.
 "2. The interests Of the Turkish people"
 Dr. Fuad is of the opinion tha t Mosul, the rich oil territory in the kingdom of Irak, which has been al loted to Great Britain under a man date of the League of Nations. should be turned back to Turkey. He be- lieves that it is within the province of his government tC grant conces- sions in the territory.
 "The future security of Turkey de- bends upon the incorporation of that a r. iy,to tate ha catI sI, this way alone we will have natu- ral frontier in the southeast.
