John Moore Allison (April 7, 1905 – October 28, 1978) was an American diplomat who served as the United States Ambassador to Japan from 1953 to 1957. From 1957 to 1958, he was Ambassador to Indonesia and from 1958 to 1960 to Czechoslovakia. He was later a professor at the University of Hawaii. Allison earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Nebraska in 1927. Allison worked as an English teacher,including at the Imperial Japanese Naval Engineer Officers Academy. Allison joined the Foreign Service in 1932. On January 26, 1938, Allison, American consul in Nanjing, was struck by a Japanese soldier. This incident is known as the "Allison Incident." Japanese Consul-General Katsuo Okazaki formally apologized. After Japan's surrender, he served in various State Department leadership positions covering Japan and the Far East from 1946 to 1952. Allison participated in the drafting of the Treaty of San Francisco, serving as John Foster Dulles's aide during the negotiation of the treaty. Allison was named United States Ambassador to Japan in 1953. In March 1954, 16 years after the "Allison Incident," Allison and the man who had apologized to him in Nanjing, Japanese Foreign Minister Okazaki, signed the U.S. and Japan Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement on behalf of their respective countries. After his mentor John Foster Dulles died in 1959, Allison retired from the Foreign Service in 1960. More
