President Reagan
island-hopping ~

HONOLULU (AP) — President
Reagan, hopping island to island
across the ocean, urged China and
other Pacific countries Tuesday to
join the United States in “opposing
expansionist aggression” by the
Soviet Union.

Embarking on a trip across the
internatlonal dateline and into
Wednesday on the island of Guam,
Reagen declared before takeoff
that “U.S.-China relations are
good, and I believe they can and
will get better.’

‘America and her Pacific neigh-
bors are nations of the future .., we

must work with our friends:to keep —

the Pacific truly peaceful — an

ocean for commerce, not conflict," .

he said during a departure
ceremony at Hickam Air Force
Base in Honolulu.

Reagan sald his trip to China

“symbolizes the maturing of the.

United States’ relationship with
China,” following Richard Nixon's
trip there in 1972, the journey by
Gerald Ford in 1975, and the
normalization of
relations under Jimmy Carter in

the United States and its Pacific
neighbors, he said, “can go for-
ward in a mighty enterprise to

diplomatic -

build dynamic growth economies,
and make the world safer, by
working for peace and opposing

expansionist aggression.” That
was a reference io the Soviet

Union.

The military role of the Soviets in
the Pacific has been receiving
considerable attention from the

United States. The White House —

made available to reporters
travelling with Reagan data ‘on
increases in ‘Soviet .
divisions, ships, tactical aircraft
and bombers {n the Far East, from
1968 until this year.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco,
U.S. Defence Secretary Caspar
Weinberger stressed the dif-
ferences between the Soviet Union
and China.

“Unlike the Soviets, who remain

committed to the goal of replacing
the existing international order .
with one of their own making, the
Chinese made a. carefully
calculated decision to puraue their
goals as a responsible member of
the international community," he
‘sald. “It is clearly in our interest
and in the interests of the nations of
the Pacific Basin that China
remain on that path.’’
