The delegations of the two nations will come to Washington immediate- ly after the settlement of the ques- tion submitted to the arbitration of President Coolidge by the govern- ments of Peru and Chile. — Without the consent of a wife, the Turkish husband cannot give any part of her household to the chil- dren of another wife.
