LONDON, Nov. 2.—(By The Asso- ciated Press}—As Premier Craig of Ulster “went into conference with -Prime Minister Lioyd George today, it was admitted officially that the Irish peace negotiations had reached a “grave and critical stage.” * A prominent member of the “Binn Fein bore this out: . “The situation is too serious for talk,” he said. “Michael Collins and George Duffy (the Sinn Fein dage- gates) have gone to Dublin to take counsel with Mr. De Valera and the Dail Eireann cabinet and to receive instruction as to the attitude they are to adopt. They will return to London Saturday nightsto meet Mr. Lioyd George after he has received Sir James Craig's reply.” Lioya surance that even if she agreed to his Proposal the Sinn Fein would admit} the point of allegiance to the king as King of Ireland. Such admission has been refused by the, Dail. Bireann rep- resentatives, who aré declared to view Treland’s position solely as that of an independent state. which, however, might make treaties with the other states \of the British empire and pos- sibly even ledge the king as the president of a federation of free states. : This is nothing like the settlement plan the British gov: mind and it appears thati#@ the Sinn Fein maintain its -attitude’the nego- tlations must be broken off with the resumption of warfare en imme- diate possibility.

Crown Prince Hirohito has been des- an follows reports which have year that Eriperor Yoshihito was in bad physical condition. paper in-May‘of last year reported that he had suffered a memorable speéch to the people in had much’to lesen from western coun- empire must strive their utmost to Siiug Junan tothe high development necessary for her national progreés. ‘The regent who is only 20 years of age, has already accomplished a great eal in establishing a more liberal un- derstanding between the imperial court and the people of the empire. He has already abandoned the ancient idea of Imperial aloofness and in striking con- trast to the earlier days when Japa- nese were not supposed to gaze upon thelr emperor, Hirohito has recently appeared at various public meetings in quite an informal manner and has made a number of speeches. Japanese here assert that the re sponsibility of having Japan emerge from the.olden days to the present lib- eral movement, as regards the court is, however, in the hands of Viscount Makino, of the imperial household, who was one of Japan's delegates at 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 the old nobles who are inclin- ed to resist too many ir:novations. It is the understanding here among Jap- @nese that the immediate reason for the regency is the conviction that the emperor {s incurably il] and is quite unable to carry on the duties of the throne. The Japanese delegation to the arm- ament conference said today that it had received on intimation that 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 congratula- tion and homage to the new ruler. Some Japanese remarked today up- on the curious coingidence 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 “the sixteenth Shogun.” The Shoguns, the temporal rulers of Japan, were abolished in 1868 with the restoration of actual power of the im- per house. The Shogunate was abolished but Prince Tokugawa was designated as the new head of the famous Tokugawa family, which was the last to hold the power of the sho- sunate. Member of the delegation also com- mented upon the coincidence that Hi- rohito should assume the direction of the empire at a time when a probable world agréement as to naval reduc- tlon meant that Japan would be able ‘to do great things for the internal de- ‘velopment of the country under the weadership of a young and popular re- gent who is Iseenly alive to world tendencies and to the necessity of Ing out the doctrines of the inter- dependence of. nations recently pro- claimed by Viscount Makino as the keynote of Japan's world policy.
