Foreign Ministry spokesman on Israel's decision for new settlement

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- "WE EXPRESS DEEP CONCERN OVER THE CHALLENGE OF ISRAEL, WHICH HAS LAID A NEW OBSTACLE IN THE MID-EAST PEACE PROCESS THE PROSPECT OF WHICH HAD BEEN IN SIGHT." A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DPRK FOREIGN MINISTRY DECLARED THIS TODAY WHEN HE WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE KCNA OVER THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT APPROVED THE BUILDING OF A NEW SETTLEMENT FOR JEWS IN EAST KUDS. THIS DECISION OF ISRAEL IS AIMED AT OCCUPYING EAST KUDS INDEFINITELY, THE SPOKESMAN SAID, AND WENT ON: ISRAEL SHOULD STOP SUCH AN UNJUSTIFIABLE ACT AS DELAYING AND ENDANGERING THE MID-EAST PEACE PROCESS AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE JUST DEMAND OF ARABS. WE CONSIDER THAT THE MID-EAST ISSUE SHOULD BE SOLVED IN A FAIR AND COMPREHENSIVE WAY ON THE BASIS OF "LAND-FOR-PEACE PRINCIPLE", AND HOLD THAT THE LEGITIMATE NATIONAL RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT STATE SHOULD BE RESTORED AND ISRAEL SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM ALL THE ARAB LANDS UNDER ITS OCCUPATION.

Schoolchildren's camping starts

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- SCHOOLCHILDREN'S CAMPING FOR THIS YEAR HAS STARTED AT CAMPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. PUPILS FROM SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ARE ENJOYING THEMSELVES AT THE CAMPS. AT THE MANGYONGDAE SCHOOLCHILDREN'S CAMP LOCATED AT THE FOOT OF MT. RYONGAK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PYONGYANG, HUNDREDS OF CAMPERS ARE NOW BUILDING UP THEIR PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND ENRICHING THEIR KNOWLEDGE THROUGH MOUNTAINEERING, SPORTS AND ART ACTIVITIES. IN PARTICULAR, MARCH ON SNOWY ROADS AND MOUNTAINEERING ARE VERY GOOD FOR FOSTERING THE SENSE OF ORGANIZATION AND DISCIPLINE AND THE SPIRIT OF OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES AMONG THE CAMPERS.

MYOHYANG AND JANGJA, SOKAM, SOKHU AND SOHO AND HAS PROVIDED CAMPERS WITH ALL CONDITIONS NEEDED FOR THEIR CAMPING. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SCHOOLCHILDREN ENJOY CAMPING EVERY YEAR AT STATE EXPENSE AND, THROUGH IT, TRAIN THEMSELVES TO BE RESERVES FOR THE REVOLUTION WHO ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE, MORAL AND HEALTHY.

Fascists' suppression doubled

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- THE PUPPET DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL POLICE OFFICE OF SOUTH KOREA RECENTLY ORDERED FRONTLINE POLICE TO CLOSELY "WATCH THE MOVEMENTS OF OFFENDERS OF THE 'NATIONAL SECURITY LAW'" AND "EXAMINE" ALL THE "STRANGERS". RODONG SINMUN IN A COMMENTARY TODAY BRANDS THIS AS A A VICIOUS SCHEME TO RUTHLESSLY CRACK DOWN ON THE PEOPLE'S STRUGGLE FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE REVISED FASCIST "LAW ON THE AGENCY FOR NATIONAL SECURITY PLANNING" AND "LABOUR LAW", THE OVERTHROW OF KIM YOUNG SAM AND THE PROBE INTO THE TRUTH BEHIND THE HANBO INCIDENT AND THE PUNISHMENT OF ITS PRINCIPAL CULPRIT BY INVOKING THE "NATIONAL SECURITY LAW". THE COMMENTARY SAYS: AS FOR THOSE WHO WERE LABELLED BY THE PUPPETS AS "OFFENDERS OF THE NSL", THEY ARE PATRIOTS WHO FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE AND DEMOCRATIZATION OF SOUTH KOREAN SOCIETY AND FOR THE REUNIFICATION OF THE COUNTRY. THE FASCIST CLIQUE ARRESTED INNOCENT PEOPLE AND SUPPRESSED, TORTURED AND PERSECUTED THEM AND ARE NOW WATCHING THEIR MOVEMENTS AND EXAMINING THEM EVEN AFTER THEY WERE RELEASED. THIS IS A DOUBLE STRANGULATION WHICH CAN BE MADE ONLY BY THE FASCIST MURDEROUS GROUP ENGAGED IN MAN- HUNTING. THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP MUST CLEARLY SEE THE TREND OF THE TIME, STOP THE SWORD-BRANDISHING SUPPRESSION OF THE PRO- REUNIFICATION DEMOCRATIC FORCES AT ONCE, AND DISCLOSE ITS TRUE COLORS AS THE PRINCIPAL CULPRIT OF THE HANBO INCIDENT AND STEP DOWN FROM POWER WITHOUT DELAY AS UNANIMOUSLY DEMANDED BY THE SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE.

Review of Rodong Sinmun

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- RODONG SINMUN TODAY FRONTPAGES A REPORT THAT SECRETARY KIM JONG IL SENT THANKS TO OFFICIALS OF THE MINISTRY OF MARINE TRANSPORT FOR DISTINGUISHING THEMSELVES IN AFFORESTING THE AREA AROUND KUMSUSAN MEMORIAL PALACE, ASSISTING THE PEOPLE'S ARMY AND HELPING THE WONSAN-KUMGANGSAN RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION. THE PAPER CARRIES ACCOUNTS OF CELEBRATIONS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ON THE OCCASION OF THE 55TH BIRTHDAY OF SECRETARY KIM JONG IL UNDER THE BANNERLINE TITLE "PRESENT HISTORY OF POLITICS RECORDS HIS EXCELLENCY KIM JONG IL AS A VETERAN STATESMAN". ECONEWS OF THE PAPER INCLUDES NEWS THAT WORKING PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT DOMAINS OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY ARE CONTINUOUSLY EFFECTING INNOVATIONS AFTER FULFILLING THEIR PLANS IN FEBRUARY AND RURAL VILLAGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE STEPPING UP PREPARATIONS FOR SEEDING. IT RUNS AN ARTICLE TITLED "SOCIALISM IS THE LIFE AND SOUL OF OUR PEOPLE". IT INTRODUCES BEAUTIFUL TRAITS OF ARMY-PEOPLE UNITY IN FULL PLAY IN KOREA. APPEARING IN THE PAPER IS A STATEMENT OF A SPOKESMAN OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE KOREAN JOURNALISTS UNION DENOUNCING KIM YOUNG SAM FOR DEFENDING HIMSELF IN A RECENT "STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE" IN A BID TO AVOID THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CRITICAL SITUATION OF SOUTH KOREA. IT STRESSES IN A COMMENTARY THAT THE TIME-LIMIT STRIKE STAGED BY "KOREAN CONFEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS" AND OTHER TRADE UNIONS AND WORKERS IN SOUTH KOREA IS QUITE NATURAL AND JUST. THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP'S ORDER TO WATCH MOVEMENTS OF OFFENDERS OF THE "NATIONAL SECURITY LAW" IS A FASCIST DOUBLE STRANGULATION, THE PAPER NOTES IN A COMMENTARY. RODONG SINMUN SAYS IN AN ARTICLE THAT KIM YOUNG SAM CANNOT AVOID THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HANBO INCIDENT.

Natural and just struggle of s. Korean workers

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- IT IS TOO NATURAL AND JUST THAT THE "KOREAN CONFEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS" AND OTHER TRADE UNIONS AND WORKERS IN SOUTH KOREA HELD A RALLY FOR WINNING VICTORY AT THE FOURTH-STAGE GENERAL STRIKE AND ARE NOW CONTINUING THE STRIKE AGAINST THE EVIL LAW ON LABOUR, SAYS RODONG SINMUN IN A COMMENTARY TODAY. ON FEB. 28 THE "KOREAN CONFEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS" STAGED A STRIKE FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF HOURS WITH THE ATTENDANCE OF MORE THAN 131,000 MEMBERS OF 107 TRADE UNIONS, A SUCCESSION OF THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE EVIL LAW ON LABOUR. IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT, THE "FEDERATION OF KOREAN TRADE UNIONS" ALSO WARNED THE PUPPET CLIQUE THAT THEY WILL STAGE A GENERAL STRIKE ACROSS SOUTH KOREA IN CASE THE PUPPETS DO NOT REASONABLY REAMEND THE RETROGRESSIVELY REVISED "LABOUR LAW". THE DAILY SAYS: KIM YOUNG SAM IN A "STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE" DEFENDED HIMSELF AS IF THE REVISION OF THE "LABOUR LAW" WAS AN ESSENTIAL STEP TO SAVE THE SOUTH KOREAN ECONOMY FROM BANKRUPTCY AND SHOWED NO SIGN TO TOTALLY NULLIFY AND REAMEND THE LAW AS DEMANDED BY PEOPLE. HE FOOLISHLY TRIED TO COVER UP HIS DESPICABLE TRUE COLORS AS THE PRINCIPAL CULPRIT OF THE HANBO INCIDENT BY LETTING HIS TOP-CLASS VASSALS TENDER "WHOLESALE RESIGNATION". WORSE STILL, THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP, IN THE "REAMENDMENT OF LABOUR LAW" THROUGH THE "RULING-OPPOSITION NEGOTIATION", ARE CRAFTILY SCHEMING TO ENACT THE "LABOUR LAW" CONTAINING POISONOUS ARTICLES WHICH ALLOW THE COMPAINES TO VIOLATE THE THREE RIGHTS OF LABOUR OF THE WORKERS, LAY THEM OFF AND WORK THEM HARD. THIS IS NO MORE THAN A POLITICAL BARGAINING TO CALM DOWN THE RESENTMENT OF THE WORKERS AND BRIDGE OVER THE PREVAILING POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONFUSION.

Socialism is life and soul of Korean people

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- RODONG SINMUN TODAY CARRIES A SIGNED ARTICLE TITLED "SOCIALISM IS LIFE AND SOUL OF OUR PEOPLE." SOCIALISM IS THE LIFE AND SOUL OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE, THE PAPER SAYS, AND CONTINUES: THIS IS BECAUSE SOCIALISM GUARANTEES THE INDEPENDENT LIFE OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE. IN KOREAN-STYLE SOCIALISM OUR PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE DIGNIFIED LIFE OF INDEPENDENT MAN. IT IS SOCIALISM THAT PUTS FORWARD ALL THE PEOPLE AS TRUE MASTERS OF POLITICS AND GIVES THEM A NOBLE POLITICAL LIFE AND ENABLES THEM TO LEAD THEIR VALUABLE AND EVERLASTING LIFE. THE LIFE OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE, WHO HAVE BECOME MEMBERS OF THE SOCIO-POLITICAL COLLECTIVE TO ENJOY THEIR LIFE WITH A HIGH PRIDE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PARTY AND THE LEADER IS, INDEED, A TRUE LIFE WORTHY OF MAN AND A VALUABLE INDEPENDENT LIFE. NOTING THAT SOCIALISM IS THE LIVING OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE, THE PAPER SAYS: THIS IS BECAUSE SOCIALISM HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY OUR PEOPLE AS USUAL PRACTICE AND UNBREAKABLE WAY OF LIFE. KOREAN SOCIALISM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, REFLECTING THE DEMAND OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE, AND ITS BUILDING HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT TO MEET THEIR ASPIRATION AND LIVING UNDER IT MIRRORS THEIR DESIRE. SOCIALISM AND THE KOREAN PEOPLE ARE AN ORGANISM, WHICH EXISTS IN UNITY, NOT DIVIDED. KOREAN SOCIALISM IS AN INVINCIBLE BULWARK, UNAFFECTED IN ANY STORM, AS IT IS THE DEMAND OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE FOR LIFE AND IT DEEP ROOTED IN THEIR LIVING.

Colombian President favors Korea's reunification

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF COLOMBIA WILL SUPPORT THE KOREAN PEOPLE'S EFFORTS FOR THE PEACEFUL REUNIFICATION OF THE COUNTRY. COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT ERNESTO SAMPER PIZANO DECLARED THIS ON FEB. 13 WHEN HE RECEIVED CREDENTIALS FROM THE NEWLY- APPOINTED DPRK AMBASSADOR, RI IN CHUN. HE SAID COLOMBIA, CHAIR-STATE OF THE NON-ALIGNED MOVEMENT, WILL ENCOURAGE THE KOREAN GOVERNMENT'S POSITION FOR NATIONAL REUNIFICATION IN THE MOVEMENT. AND HE MENTIONED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FRIENDLY RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES.

S. Korean economy on verge of total bankruptcy

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- KIM YOUNG SAM OF SOUTH KOREA SAID, IN A "STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE" WHICH WAS ISSUED ON FEB. 25 FOUR YEARS AFTER HIS ASSUMPTION OF OFFICE, THAT HE WOULD "CONCENTRATE ALL EFFORTS ON SAVING THE ECONOMY" IN A YEAR TO COME. HOWEVER, PEOPLE IN SOUTH KOREA ARE SCEPTICAL ABOUT HIS STATEMENT BECAUSE HE HAS MESSED UP THE ECONOMY SINCE HIS ASSUMPTION OF OFFICE. IT IS BORNE OUT BY FOLLOWING FIGURES: - 23,700 MILLION DOLLARS OF TRADE DEFICIT S. KOREA'S TRADE DEFICIT IN 1993, THE FIRST YEAR OF KIM YOUNG SAM'S OFFICE, WAS 1,560 MILLION DOLLARS. BUT THE RED INK IN 1996 SOARED TO 23,700 MILLION, OR MORE THAN 15 TIMES 1993'S FIGURE. THE DEFICIT HAS BEEN ON A RADICAL RISE THIS YEAR, REGISTERING 3,500 MILLION DOLLARS IN JANUARY ALONE. IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE THE CASE, IT WILL REACH A RECORD HIGH, 42,000 MILLION DOLLARS AT THE END OF THE YEAR. SOUTH KOREA'S IS A COLONIAL EXPORT-ORIENTED ECONOMY, A DEPENDENT AND CRIPPLED ECONOMY. - 110 BILLION DOLLARS OF FOREIGN DEBT SOUTH KOREA'S FOREIGN DEBT IN 1992 WAS 42,800 MILLION DOLLARS. THE DEBT HAS WIDENED TO 110 BILLION DOLLARS, NEARLY THREE TIMES THE FIGURE, IN FOUR YEARS AFTER KIM CAME TO POWER. WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE, HE PROMISED TO "REVIVE THE ECONOMY" TO BE CALLED "ECONOMIC PRESIDENT". HOWEVER, HE HAS REDUCED SOUTH KOREA TO NO.1 DEBTOR OF THE WORLD. - BANKRUPTCY OF 50,000 BUSINESSES KIM PROMISED TO SHAPE A "POLICY OF ATTACHING IMPORTANCE TO MINOR BUSINESSES", ADVERTISING "THE ECONOMY FOR PEOPLE." FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING HIS PROMISE SOUND TRUE, HE SET UP THE "AGENCY FOR MINOR BUSINESSES", WHICH WAS A MERE BAUBLE. THE NUMBER OF BANKRUPT BUSINESSES IN 1994 WAS 11,200 AS AGAINST 9,500 IN 1993. IN 1996, 1,000 BUSINESSES WENT BANKRUPT ON A MONTHLY AVERAGE. AFTER ALL, ABOVE 50,000 BUSINESSES WENT TO RUIN IN FOUR YEARS OF HIS OFFICE. THIS YEAR IS LIKELY TO SEE A RADICALLY INCREASING NUMBER OF BANKRUPT BUSINESSES DUE TO THE HANBO LOAN SCANDAL. SO, POLITICIANS, BUSINESSMEN AND SCHOLARS IN SOUTH KOREA ARE NOW CONTENDING THAT "THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE ECONOMY." SOUTH KOREAN PRESS MEDIA DESCRIBE THE ECONOMY AS "THE ECONOMY ON THE EDGE OF A PRECIPICE", "THE ECONOMY ON THE POINT OF DOWNFALL" AND "DEAD ECONOMY", CONTENDING THAT THE TRAITOR KIM YOUNG SAM HAS DESTROYED IT TOTALLY.

Pitiful deed of traitor at tight corner

PYONGYANG, MARCH 3 (KCNA) -- KIM YOUNG SAM ON FRIDAY STAGED A FARCE OF OPENING TO THE PUBLIC OF OFFICIALS' PROPERTIES AND ANNOUNCED THAT HIS PROPERTY AMOUNTS TO 2,730 MILLION WON IN SOUTH KOREAN CURRENCY, WITH AN INCREASE OF 98 MILLION LAST YEAR, ACCORDING TO A RADIO REPORT FROM SEOUL. THIS IS A THIRD-RATE DRAMA INVENTED BY THE TRAITOR, WHO IS IN A CATASTROPHIC CRISIS AFTER HIS TRUE COLOR AS KINGPIN OF IRREGULARITIES WAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT BY THE HANBO LOAN SCANDAL, TO "SHOW" HIS "UPRIGHTNESS". THE ANNOUNCED AMOUNT IS NOT SMALL, OF COURCE, BUT IT IS ONLY A CORNER OF AN ICEBERG COMPARED WITH THE SUM IN HIS SECRET COFFER. IT IS AN OPEN SECRET THAT HANBO STEELWORKS. OFFERED MORE THAN A HALF AMOUNT OF ITS LOANS FROM BANKS TO "CHONGWADAE" TO REPAY ITS SPECIAL FAVOURS. THE AMOUNT IS OVER THREE TRILLION WON. THE DRAMA PLAYED BY KIM YOUNG SAM IS ONLY ADDING FUEL TO PEOPLE'S HATRED AND CONDEMNATION.

Central meeting of Korean residents in Japan held

TOKYO, MARCH 1 (KNS-KCNA) -- A CENTRAL MEETING OF KOREAN RESIDENTS IN JAPAN FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AND PEACE WAS HELD IN TOKYO ON MARCH 1, THE 78TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARCH FIRST POPULAR UPRISING. SO MAN SUL, VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE CENTRAL STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF KOREAN RESIDENTS IN JAPAN (CHONGRYON), SAID IN HIS REPORT THAT THE MARCH FIRST POPULAR UPRISING WAS A NATION-WIDE RESISTANCE AGAINST THE JAPANESE IMPERIALISTS, WHO ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED KOREA AND PUT IT UNDER A CRUEL COLONIAL RULE, AND FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE. NOTING THAT NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AND PEACE HAVE BEEN THREATENED IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA BY THE SOUTH KOREAN PUPPET CLIQUE'S POLICY OF DEPENDENCE ON OUTSIDE FORCES AND CONFRONTATION WITH THE NORTH, HE BITTERLY CONDEMNED THE TRAITOR KIM YOUNG SAM ON BEHALF OF THE 700,000 KOREAN RESIDENTS IN JAPAN. THE VICTORY OF THE CAUSE OF NATIONAL REUNIFICATION IS INEVITABLE AND DEFINITE FOR THE KOREAN PEOPLE WITH THE MOST REALISTIC AND JUST PROGRAMME FOR NATIONAL REUNIFICATION PUT FORWARD BY THE GREAT LEADER GENERALISSIMO KIM IL SUNG, THE WISE LEADERSHIP OF SECRETARY KIM JONG IL AND THE UNITY OF THE 70 MILLION COMPATRIOTS, HE SAID. HE CALLED ON ALL THE JAPAN-RESIDENT KOREANS TO EXERT ALL EFFORTS TO MAKE THIS "A YEAR OF SOLIDARITY AMONG THE KOREANS IN THE NORTH, SOUTH AND OVERSEAS FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AND PEACE".
