...tente, the NATO nations believe that Reagan will engineer a steadier and more forceful foreign policy than Carter. The West Germans are encouraged by the fact that Reagan's advisers include George Shultz, Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig, all men they admire. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt never tried to hide his scorn for Carter's vacillating and moralizing approach to international issues. Says one Schmidt aide: "Thank God the days of the Washington zigzag are over...
With Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's Social Democrats now safely past the Oct. 5 election, Bonn has taken steps to cool off inflation. Two weeks ago, Schmidt decided on an $8 billion cut in 1981 spending, which will now be just 4.1% above the $114.4 billion 1980 budget. He also pulled out of a NATO pledge to raise military spending by 3% annually for 15 years-a move that may chill his reception this week in Washington, where he is due to arrive on a long-planned visit.

West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt expressed one major reason when he told aides, "At least I have got more or less used to Carter." But local and regional considerations also play a role, both for leaders who favor the incumbent and for the few who support Ronald Reagan...
...appeals to non-Socialist moderates. He has never concealed his distaste for the Union of the Left, the Socialist-Communist alliance that almost won the 1974 presidential election, only to collapse just before the parliamentary vote of 1978. Rocard is far more comfortable with West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's brand of social democracy than with the quasi-Marxist yearnings of his own party's left wing. Mitterrand's intentions are a mystery. Most likely, he will try to remain aloof, hoping that a divided party will turn to him as a unifier at its January congress...
