Though forbidden by treaty to manufacture its own atomic arms, West Germany, as the most powerful industrial and conventional military power in Europe, has of late come to feel keenly its second-class nuclear status in the Alliance-particularly beside Britain and France. Later this month Erhard will visit President Johnson, and a preview of what is on Erhard's mind came not long ago when he told the Bundestag that the U.S. allies "must be given a share in nuclear defense according...
