In preparation for the second round, the Com- munist Party and the
Democratic and Socialist Federation decided on joint candidatos, in sc-
cordance with their December 1966 agreement. The United Sociallate
accepted that arrange ment. As a result, there was a single Left candi-
date In 370 constituencies, the choice falling to the man who stood the
best chance, Irrespective of party affilation.

The figures for 1958 and 1962 have been grouped to bring them into
accord with the pres ent composition of the Assembly. This will enable
the reader to get a clear picture of the political line-up,
Again the figures show the increased strength of the Left democratle
forent, which now have 199 seats, or nearly 50 more than before. To this
should be added that the distribution of sents mirrors the undemocratic
nature of the present electoral system. With proportional representa-
tion, the Communists would have had 305 sents Instead of their present
73.
The election results are convincing proof of

democratic regeneration.

Kiesinger's Bonn
to
THE whole world knows by now that Weat
Germany's new government operate a new, an entirely new foreign policy.
That word "now," however, has been worn rather threadbars by now.
Beneath the fading "grand coalition" varnish the corrosion caused by the
policy of the Federal Republic's previous governments is showing more
and more distinctly.
Through the long years of the cold war that policy eminently suited the
Federal Republic's Western allies, particularly Washington. The Bonn
rulers' demands to have the status quo in Europe changed, their claims
to the territory of the GD.R, to West Berlin, to the Western areas of
Poland-all this was seen across the Atlantic as an instrument of
political and military black- mail in relation to the socialist states.
Bonn's Aggressive stance. Its nuclear ambitions, ita de magogic clamour
for frontier revision In the Fast fitted admirably into the "rollback of
Com- munism" doctrines of those days.
With the progressive bankruptcy of the cold- war doctrine, however, as
the trend towards détente began to prevail, the "bastion" on the Rhine
became more and more of an anachron- Samm. It la an essential feature of
a bastion that It does not move, it stays where it is, and in a moving
and changing world immobility inevi tably means falling behind.
Eventually this began to reguler with the commanders of the bastion too.
It was none other than West Ger- many's former Foreign Minister Schröder
who described his government's foreign policy as a "policy of
stagnation" and proclalised a "policy of movement" instead.
What was this "movement" by which Schröder and the more enterprising of
his col- leagues proposed to rescue the becaimed Bonn. ship?
In their talks in allied expitals, West-German representativen spoke
more and more often of "Hexibility." Boon realized that its old policy
was a failure and that persistence In It would doom the Federal Republic
to lentation in the West as well and reduce it to a political back-
water of the world.
And so the "policy of movement" appeared. But its aliators bore a

blance to an opera singer singing loudly about how boldly he is striding
ahead while never stirring from his spot on the stage.
All three main divisions of Bonn's foreign policy, namely, ie
Westpolitik-policy towards the Western states, Deutschlandpolitik-policy
towards the G.D.R., and, Istly, Ostpolitik- polley towards the other
socialist countries, are closely interlinked. There can be no
significant change of its foreign policy without change of policy
towards the East. That, however, would Involve giving up the sims which
the socialist states rightly regard as endangering their secu- rity and
which other European nations also con- alder an obstacle to the
establishment of listing pesce in their continent.
This the West-German rulers proved incapa- ble of doing. Recognition of
existing European frontiers, recognition of the German Democratie
Republic, abandonment of the attempts to get access to nuclear weapons
appeared to them too high a price to pay to save the Federal Repub- lie
from Isolation.
Only the Semblance of Change
So it was a case of aquaring the circle: they wanted to overcome the
stagnation re ponsible for the polley failures without giving up the
aims responsible for the stagnation. That being the case, the
much-publicized "movement" was bound to be purely verbal, spurious,
fletitious. Instead of real change there was only a sam- blance of
change.
One move along these lines was the "Peace Note" of the Erhard
government. That Note was supposed to convince the Poles that though it
did not renounce claims to one-third of their coun- try's territory, the
Federal Republic was nonetheless a potential friend who in no way
threatened them,
The Czech and Slovaks were likewise to be convinced that there was no
danger to them from the Rhine. True, Bonn still held to the view that
the take-over of the Sudetenland under the Munich agreement was
perfectly legi- Himate, but now that agreement was no longer valld and
the Federal Repubile did not mean to bring up the matter in future.
The Soviet Union, Rumania, Hungary, Bulga- ria and the rest of Europe
were to believe that the spirit of peace and co-operation bad

triumphed on the Rhine: we have no aggressive intentions, Bonn averred,
all we want is to be allowed to reunite Germany on our terma. Con- sent
to the take-over of the German Democratic Republic-that was the price
the "politicians of movement" demanded for cessing to torpedo European
détente.
The offer was not accepted, as we know. The crisis of Bonn policy
deepened. That was when they started thinking about a helmsman who could
fill the drooping sails of the Bonn ship with fresh wind. But before he
was chosen, the old crew prepared detalled na- vigating instructions.
Metamorphosis of a Doctrine
One of the sponsors of the so-called flexible policy is Ernst Majonica,
member of the leader- ship of the Christian-Democrat group in the
Bundestag. His political conception, already set out in his book "German
Foreign Policy" in 1965, is based on an unshakable belief in what he
calls the growing strength of national com- munism in the East-European
countries. This, he declared, would result in time in weakening the
political and military ties between the so- cialist states.
To encourage this process of disintegration, Maĵonica said, was one of
the most important tasks of the Federal Repubite's foreign policy, and
Bonn should accordingly seek rapproche- ment with the European socialist
countries. Tho G.D.R., it need hardly be said, was to be exclud- ed from
this process of rapprochement. What is more, improved relations with the
other social- ist states were to lead to the laolation of the G.D.R. in
its own camp. It was the characteristic method of the wolf-pack, cutting
off the intend- ed victim from the flock.
Two years went by, The Erhard government was succeeded by the new
Kissinger team. And behold, through the fresh cost of varnish there
peered the priming Majonjon had spread on Statements about
"rapprochement with the East" came thick and fant. There followed the
establishment of diplomatic relations with Ru- mania, already promised
by Erhard in his day.
This diplomatic step was meant to convince the world that the Eastern
policy of the Kie- singer government was really a new one, so new that
it was even modifying the Hallstein doctrine, a key element in the old
polky frame-
work.
NEW TIES = Ka 18
Very Interesting is the plastic surgery the Kiesinger government has
performed on this doctrine. The estener of the doctrine was that the
Federal Republic claimed the right to sole representation of the German
people. With countries that recognized the government of the Democratic
Republle Bonn refused to estab- lish diplomatic relations and broke them
of where they already existed, as in the case of Yugoslavia and Cuba.
The one exception, dating back to Adenauer's day, was made for the So
viet Union,
The Kissinger government decided to mod- ernize this previously
sscrosanct doctrine. It offered to take up diplomatic relations with
European socialist states even though they had G.D.R. Ambassadors
accredited to their expitals,
But at the same time it officially warned the capitalist and Third World
countries that if any of them established diplomatic relations with the
G.D.R.. this would be considered an un- friendly act. And to leave no
doubt in anyone" mind that the essence of the Hallstein doctrina
remained as before, the day after the establish- ment of diplomatic
relations with Bucharest Chancellor Kiesinger made this statement in the
Bundestag:
"The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Socialist Republic
of Rumania implies no change in the German legal view, reaffirmed In the
government declaration of December 13, 1966, that the Federal government
alone has the right and duty to speak for the German people. We count on
this unaltered view of ours being understood and appreciated as
hitherto."
+
Reiner Barzel, Chairman of the Christian- Democrat parliamentary group,
made matters abundantly clear in last month's Bundestag debate, when he
categorically denied that there could be any question at present of
remodelling the Federal Republic's foreign policy.
"Our positions remain unchanged," he said. "Only our methods exa change.
.......
So what we see is a single line of develop- ment of Bonn polley, started
by Chancellors Adenauer and Erhard and their Foreign Minis- tere von
Brentano and Schröder and carried on by the present govemment.
Klesinger's Men
In his speech at Katowice Wladyslaw Gomul- ka made it clear that Poland
does not intend to help the Bonn politicians strengthen their old
15
poutions by new methods which they think inore effective. For those old
positions, designed to change the status quo in Europe, are a dan- gor
to the security of our continent, where every such attempted change
would inevitably lead not to loud conflict but to total war.
With this in mind, the Poles are convinced that the frontiers of their
security lie not only on the Oder and Neisse but on the Elbe. And that
an Indispensable element of that security is total and unconditional
West-German renup- elation of nuclear weapona. Let us see if the
Kiesinger government's much-talked-of "new policyTM has shifted from the
old positions at lakat on this last point,
Unfolding his vision of an integrated Western Europe allied with the
United States, Ernst Majorien wrote in his book:
"The United States would also have to be prepared to make available to
its partners the Information gained in nuclear weapon develop- thent but
important to technology in general, Without this information there can
be no modern industries. If Washington's partners are denied it, they
will have to go in for nuclear weapon development of their own, in order
to get the experience for economic and technologi- cal purposes."
The theme was carried further by Franz Josef Strauss in his book "The
Grand Design":
