Martin brightened. "That would be fine.” ‘

Barbara wished she did not have to bother with him. She wanted io be alone to think of Tony, and she was Very tired. She was yawning when they climbed the stairs. She hoped there was cream enough for tiwo cups of coffee. She was not expecting Tony home un- til the next morning, so she had not ordered a fresh bottle that day. “Come in, Marlin," she murmured as she unlocked the door.

“Thanks, Barbara." he said and stood aside for her to precede him.

Barbara stopped short. “Tony!" she cried in a weak voice.

Tony glanced ironically from her l to her companion. "In personﬁi he said. “Howya, Martin?" i

Barbara could have slapped him and herself, too. There was no reason why they should be flound- ering around with explanations, making a perfectly innocent situa- tion sound as if there must be something ‘wrong.

"The hated enemy has become ihe coveted ally," says the Au;- trallan political scientist.

“But there has been no funda- mental change in Japan's social structure (Ir ln the political out- look of her leaders," he maintainl in a book republished in the Lin- ltcd States today.

In "Japan~Enamy or Ally," Ball analyzes the Impact of the cold war on the occupation of Ja- pan as he watched it during his service in Tokyo in 1946-41.

He praises many things about the occupation. particularly the lhollxht and hard work that have gone into many reforms.

But since i015, he writes, "much hi! happened lo bring solace to Jlpln‘: rulers." He points to e1- forts to reduce reparations claims, to raise secondary industrial out. but, and to "out a brake on" the democratization program-"puuc. ularly on the purge and diuoiu. tion of the Ziabstru (family trusts)!’ .

"On the positive side. Zkmarlcan policy akns at establishing Japan as the ‘workshop of East Ariir," he continual. "American loam and credits are being provided for the restoration of Japanese indul- try and trade.
