West Germany: Besser ist der Ludwig
(2 of 2)
"This election," said Erhard, "provides a clear and unmistakable mandate to continue with present policies." In domestic economics, they have already made West Germany the world's third largest economic power. The question now is, as one campaign slogan had it, whether the nation can long continue as a giant in world economics and a dwarf in world politics. Erhard has always been known as a strong supporter of the Atlantic Alliance. With his new endorsement, he may also feel it is time to press for a closer rapport with Eastern Europe, which he has privately endorsed, and new strength for the Common Market, with or without the aid of Charles de Gaulle.
* Willy is not so hot, And so we say to you Ludwig is much better And so is the C.D.U.
