Washington, June 8.

The American Ambassador to Japan, Mr John Allison, said today that the general situation in Japan has improved since he took up his Tokyo post about a year ago.

Mr Allison made the statements in answer to reporters' questions after he called on President Eisenhower and spent 15 minutes with him. He described the visit as a courtesy call not connected with any specific issue.

Mr Allison, who returned to the United States for consultations, timed the visit in order to be here during the visit of Japanese Premier Shigeru Yoshida. As it had been postponed, he said he planned tentatively to return to Japan at the end of next week,
