...distaste for professional Ludwig Erhard, West Germany's last Chancellor-not to mention his distaste for Erhard's pro-American policies. The result was some bad days for Franco-German cooperation, formally set up by treaty in 1963. Last week, when West Germany's new Chancellor, Kurt Georg Kiesinger, made his first official visit to Paris, De Gaulle met a man whose mind and manners he could admire. Learned and elegant, a longtime friend of France whose own Swabian home is only an hour's drive from the French border, Kiesinger charmed De Gaulle by trading...

...business of building bridges to the East. The rest of NATO found it all the easier to lean his way because of the new direction in West German policy. After years of intransigence in East-West relations, the Federal Republic under the new grand coalition of Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger was doing things that not even De Gaulle could undertake. In its first policy statement to the Bundestag last week, Kiesinger, after placing top priority on good relations with both France and the U.S., pledged friendship for Poland, declared his desire for a better understanding with the Soviet Union, and eased...
