tprince returned to Toxic. he made a
memorable speech to tho people in
which he frankly Admitted that Japan
had much to le@rn from western coun-
tries and that all tho subjects OF the
empire must strive their utmost TO
bring japan to h high development
necessary for her national progress.
The regent who is only 20 years of
nge. a already accomplished a great
deal in establishing a more liberal un-
d~erstanding between the imperial court
and the people of the empire. He has
already abandoned the ancient idea Of
imperial aioofness and in striking con-
trast to the earlier days when Japa-
nese were not supposed to 2 upon
their emperor. Eirohito has recently
appeared at various public meetings in
quite ar Informal manner and has
made a number OF speeches.

Maxine. OF the imperial household. who
was one OF Japan's delegates ut the
Versailles conference. Viscount Ma
kino has before him the task OF meet
Ing the wishes OF modern Japan with
Its democratic tendencies without Of
fending tho old mobiles who are inclin-
ed to resist too many Innovations. 1t
is tho understanding here among jap
anese that the Immediate aso for
the regency is the conviction hat the
emperor is incurably Ill and is quite
unable to carry on the duties Of he
throne.
The Japanese delegation to tho arm
ament conference said today that It
had received on intimation hat decla-
ration OF the regency was imminent
but the report had not been officially
confirmed. Probably upon receipt Of
official Information the delegation will
forward some message of co~nsratula-
ton and homage to h new ruler.
Some Japanese remarked today up
on the curious COINCIDENCE that a re-
gency should be established while
Prince Tokugawa. present head OF the
Shogunate. was in Washington as a
delegate. In japan Tokugawa is often
referred to tho sixteenth Shotgun"
