West Germany is actively soliciting Saudi Arabia to buy arms here and is likely to sell the Saudis eight modern submarines in the near future. According to government spokesman Friedhelm Ost, a West German shipyard has already offered the under-seas craft to the Saudis. Ost said, however, that the stage has not been reached where the government will have to approve the sale. That decision will be made if the Saudis decide to accept the multi-billion Mark deal, he said.
