Tokio, Nov. 27 (By The A P)- Crown Prince Hirohito, newly appoint ed regent of Japan, in addressing a gathering before the palace yesterday, deplored the infirmities of the empire which had rendered necessary the nam ing of a regent and expressed enxiety as to whether he would be able to dis charge the duties which had fallen on his youthful shoulders. CHirohito is twenty years old.)
 He had taken over the duties, he said in obedience to the rescript issued by Emperor Yoshihito and would endeayor to perform them fin accordance with the grand administrative principles laid down by the late Emperor Mutsuhito at the time Of the Meiji restoration" His aim, he added, would be to further the friendships of foreign powers and to promote the national welfare while awaiting the recovery of his father health.
 The general view here Is that the ap- pointment of a regent was a timely and natural development in view of the em- peror's condition. As regent, Prince Hirohito will practically be the actual ruler.
 There is little doubt as to his popu- larity, of which there have, been many evidences since his return from Eurooe He has shown a personal interest in var ious popular undertakings and ha. strongly established himself in the con. fdence of the people His personal sup erintendence of the recent military maneuvres aroused favorable comment | His remarkable resemblance to hil grandfather, the late Emperor Mutsu hito als ohas been responsible fer mucl of his popularity
 The health of the Emperor Yoshihit, has long been a source of anxiety. ant the naming of a regent generally come as relief from the tension under whic the country has labored. It is said i some quarters that the regency had vlr tually been decided upon before tn crown princes recent voyage to Europe and that this journey was planned 9 an experience which would better f him for the task planned.
 Viscount Suteni Chinda has been ar pointed lord chamberlain in the Hire hito household, in place of Baron Eqat Ramao, who asked to be releived Of tlr post. Viscount Chinda will also retai
 the post of privy councillor
 Following his appointment, gres crowds greeted every appearance of tf
 regent with wild enthusiasm.

 Powerful support troms outside tho American delegation has strengthened that position. and in the present discus s.ons Of tariff autonomy. extra terTitori- ality and postal rights the trend of tho negotiations never has been permitted to stray far from the Root platform In every case proposed solutions have been scrutinized in the light Of appropriate sections of the -four points" with the re- sult that the four American prnciplef have become in fact as ve.. as in namt the dominating element of the discus sions.
 How this method of procedure will af- feet such troublesome problems as Shan, tung. Manchuria and the ''twenty-one de- mands,' if they come before the confer ence, is yet to be estimated. It is point ed out that the Root principles were cast | in broad terms in their references to Chinese integrity, the open door and l special privileges, but no one who can speak authoritatively has been willing to volunteer an interpretation of these refer ences as they apply to specific questions not yet before the conference.

 The report was Tn circulation today that Japan failing to have her own standard of measurement accepted would | be quite disposed to accept the "5-5-3' arrangement. This impression Semed tc | be growing among Japanese who follow closely the work of their delegation They were of the opinion that Japan | would not overinsistence>go so far as tc endanger the success of general of a naval agreement.
 Questioned tonight as to this senti
 ment, Japanese naval eperts replied thot they were not in position to divulg,
 the instructions from Tokio.

 THE FAR EASTERN QUESTION

Washington, Nov 27 (By the A. P).- The full significance of the American -four points" proposed by Elillu Root and adopted by the arms conference to guide its discussions relating to China is coming to be better understood as the Far Eastern negotiations pass through the "accepted-in-principle" stage and ap- proach decisions on specific subjects.
 At first regarded as largely a reitera- tion of general principles which had long been sanctioned on paper because all the powers, the four points" now have in fact become the foundation on which China's friends in the conference hope to erect a system of reforms that will In many respects reverse completely the practices of the past and present

 Admiral Sims declared that the notion which controls the air will. control the surfaces below, whether it be on land or sea, and this control will determine vic- tory.
 There can be no limitation of airplane armament" the admiral declared, "be- cause of the ease with which commercial aircraft can be transformed for military use. The nation which has the greatest air force will win the var of the future. " he asserted
