WEST GERMAN POLITICS People Exposed.

Parties Opposed

On Reunification

And Defence

By GERALD LONG

Bonn, May 14.

The two main political parties of West Germany, the Christian Democrats, now in government, and the opposition Social Democratic party, have taken up, five months before a general election, radically opposed positions on important issues of foreign and defence policy.

Their differences on foreign policy concern, above all, the central issue of German politics: reunification and the methods by which it may be achieved.

On defence, there are two North Atlantic Alliance, for its main differences: the Christian shadow in an European security Democrats have introduced con- system. seription, and wish to keep it, Nor do the Christian Demo- und demand lactical atomic | crals agree with the Social weapons for the Bundeswehr, Democrals that it is time a new the new West German armed forces; the Social Democrats have pledged themselves to abollsh conscription if they come to office, and are opposed to equipping the Bundeswehr with atomic weapons.
