"Foal Eagle"joint military maneuver under fire
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland on October 25 issued information bulletin No. 746 denouncing the projected "Foal Eagle" joint military maneuver of the south Korean and the U.S. against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The information says:
Most of over 37,000-strong U.S. troops present in south Korea, the 650,000-strong army, and the U.S. aircraft carrier independence and other war means will be involved in the war gamble. In view of its size and character, the maneuver is a war exercise for a preemptive attack on the northern half of Korea. It is an open menace to us and a declaration of war as well.
" Foal Eagle" maneuver is fraught with unprecedented danger.
There is no guarantee that the Kim Young Sam group of traitors who are bereft of reason in the face of total destruction and collapse shall not unleash a war.
We will take a serious view of the "Foal Eagle" maneuver of the bellicose elements at home and abroad and take a step corresponding to it. If they dare to ignite a war, we will fire back at them.
If the U.S. and the south Korean stage the foal eagle joint maneuver, they will be held responsible wholly for the grave consequences arising therefrom.

Rodong Sinmun on Japan's militaristic design
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- Some time ago, over 100 dietmen of Japan visited the Yasukuni Shrine to pray for the military souls.
Commenting on this, a news analyst of Rodong Sinmun today says:
The Japanese reactionaries intend to create through visits to the Yasukuni Shrine an ideological atmosphere for attaining their old design for "greater East Asia coprosperity sphere" which they failed in the past.
They are describing the war dead as "heroes" and their crimes as "justice".
This is why the recent visit to the Yasukuni Shrine was organised.
It will only precipitate self-destruction.
If the Japanese reactionaries are truly concerned about the prosperity of their country, they must discard their militaristic design.

Rodong Sinmun on "policy speech" of Kim Young Sam
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today comments on the "policy speech" of Kim Young Sam read by the Prime Minister at the puppet national assembly session.
Branding his speech as a poor scream of the traitor whose days are numbered, a news analyst of the paper says:
In the speech, Kim Young Sam talked about "major policies for New Year" and "increase of defence capabilities" and liquidation of irregularities".
It is self-evident that Kim Young Sam, a political charlatan and a fascist ignoramus cannot make any good policy.
"Reunification, security and foreign policy" clamored about by Kim Young Sam is nothing but an anti-national, anti-reunification and anti-north confrontation and war policy.
His popularity has fallen down to the ground for his misrule during his office, the retrogressive revision of fascist laws, the Hanbo scandals and the illicit accumulation of wealth of his second son, and he is now being isolated and rejected even by the administration and the ruling "New Korea Party".
It is only too natural that the south Korean people brand his "policy speech" as the last scream of the living corpse at "Chongwadae".

"It is an invariable policy of the Communist Party and Government of china to further develop and consolidate the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries."
"The Sino-Korean friendship, which has undergone all sorts of trials, will certainly shine down through generations amid the concern of the leaders of the new generation and thanks to the efforts of the two parties, the two governments and the two peoples", he declared.
