mutual trade,the largest trans-oceanic exchange of goods in the world,may approach $50 billion in 1980.I neednot add that in the first quarter of 1980Japan was again the west coast's majortrading partner,receiving 28 percent ofour exports and providing 30 percent ofour imports.Our alliance with Japan isfirmly based on economic interest and onmutual concern for the security of PacificAsia.  \n#

Peace.  \nNational ChairwomanNational Women'sPolitical Caucus  \n# The Opening of China\n\nThe present simultaneous visits ofChinese Premier Hua Guofeng to Tokyoand China's highest defense official,Vice-Premier Geng Biao,to Washington,sym-bolize the significance of the People'sRepublic of China for both Japan and theUnited States and underscore the crucialstrategic position,for the United States,ofNortheast Asia.  \nAfter 27 years of hostility and so-called\"containment,\"the United States and thePeople's Republic of China agreed inFebruary 1972 on certain principles forfriendly interchange and on January 1,1979 restored full diplomatic relations.Atrade agreement was approvedin January1980 following agreements in science andtechnology,cultural and consular affairs,and a claims settlement.Although U.S.China trade during the first year of nor-malization surpassed S2 billion,itamounted to less than a third of that be-tween Japan and China.The United Statesnow maintains a consulate in Shanghai,just opened on April 28 of this year,and aconsulate in Canton,besides the embassyin Beijing.Relations,for the first time in30 years,are off to a good start.  \n## \"Women CanMake ADifference”\n\nThis area is the point on the globewhere the two superpowers,the UnitedStates and the Soviet Union,face the twoleading Asian peoples,the Japanese andthe Chinese.For our own peace andsecurity,it is essential that we maintaingood relations with both Japan and China,without,however,giving substance to aperception that an “anti-Soviet triplealliance\"is being formed by China,Japanand the United States.  \nThe National Women's Political Caucuswas founded in 1971 by 271 politicallyconscious women,who believed thewomen's movement needed a lobbyingorganization to work for selected candi-dates and issues.Now 45,000 membersstrong,the Caucus lends support to candi-dates favoring key women's issues,lobbysfor and against legislation affectingwomen,and works to bring more womeninto the governmental,political and judicialmainstream.  \nJapan's longstanding confidence in thehigh quality of American knowhow isbeing eroded.Belief in the reliability ofAmerican military equipment has beenparticularly high.This was shaken whenthe shock of the failure of the hostagerescue mission was focused on the factthat the helicopters didn't work.  \nDemocratic Allies  \nIris Mitgang,president of the Caucus,isa practicing attorney in the Bay Area,andhas been active in a number of nationaland local political organizations and cam-paigns.  \nThe United States and Japan are
