CHESTERPR0JECTS
BACKED IN LONDON
Bankers Form E5,00O,O
Syndicate to Take Over
Turkish Concessions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. December 20.-Forma-
tion OF syndicate by London
banking houses, with a capital
OF f5.O0o,o00, to which control of
the Chester concessions in Turkey
eventually may pass was announced
tonight by Horace G. Knowles. coun-
sci for the Ottoman-Amcrican De-
Velopment Company, which has held
the concessions
Expressing the belief that only
one section of the concessions had
Deen lost to American interests, Mr.
knowles, in commenting on dispatches
from abroad reporting their annul-
ment, said that the London syndi-
cate had been formed primarily to
develop the first project, which had
peen abandoned by the Ottoman
American company. Failure to OBJ
tain capital in the United States. he
said, might give it the controlling
interest in the entire concessions.
NO FORMAL notice had been re-
IelEed by the company from the
urKlsh government, he said, but the
company had consented to ahandou-
ment of the first project involved by
Its holdfngs-constructi of the
Sansoun-Sivas railway-on which
work was to have started in No
Vember. The rest of the concessions
remained intact, he asserted. with
= years leeway before beginning de-
Velopment Of the second section.
Under the terms of the award, Mr.
knowles said. the concessions We're
about equal size and value, which
were to be developed separately.
BY giving notice of abandonment Of
any one section, the company could
save the remainder of the conces-
sions, according to the agreement.
Notifies of Default.
Abandoning hope that requirements
Tor development of the first project
could be met. the company formally
notified the Turkish government of
It's default more than a month ago,
Mr.. Knowles stated, with the under
standing that other sections of the
concessions would be retained. Sub
sequently Col. X. L. Clayton kennedy,
one OF the principals in the Chester
group, was reported to have made an
agreement with the Turkish govern
ment for saving the first project, he
added but IL was never approved by
the Ottoman American Development
Company, which stood by it's notice
of abandonment.
Mr.. Knowles attacked foreign
groups which he said were trying TO
get control of the concessions.
European interests which are jeal-
Gus of the American holdings" he
said, have been eXerting political
pressure to prevent the United States
from getting an Industrial foothold
in Turkey. They realize that such
link between Turkey and the
United states would benefit the Turks
and would deprive their own groups
of present advantages.
aside from their efforts to get
the concessions they even have urged
their governments and bankers and
American financial interests to with
hold support from present holders OF
the rights"
