The West German general elections are a source of great worry in both Bonn and other Western capitals. The creation of the European army as well as the future of the Atlantic coalition, depends on its outcome. Thus it is not surprising that the German Chancellor is taking his precautions and that he wants an election without surprises. France and Italy have indicated the solution through their recent electoral "reforms" which all but guarantee the return of a majority for the government parties. The new electoral law just submitted by the Chancellor's Minister of the Interior, though received with stormy protests by opposition, is expected to work the same miracle.
