results of Sunday's national elec-
tions in West Germany by whether

Democratic Party wins seats in
the new Bundestag.

it into the Bundestag; but if they
do it will be well to remember that
geneuinely democratic parties still

cent of some 34,000,000 votes," the
Times said.

Bonn government's decision not to
seek a constitutional ban against
the NPD was a wise one. "Many
