S. Korean people's struggle against Japan's nuclear arming hailed
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- Two Japanese transport vessels loaded with a big quantity of plutonium were reported to have left an European port and are expected to reach Japan via Korean straits. A widespread protest campaign is under way in South Korea these days. Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says:
The struggle of the federation of environmental movement, civic organizations and the people from all walks of life in South Korea to halt Japan's sea transportation of plutonium is not just a struggle against environmental pollution.
It is a righteous and justifiable struggle to foil Japan's move for nuclear weaponization and becoming a military giant, defend the security and interests of the nation and, furthermore, to safeguard the peace and security of the Korean peninsula and Asia. It goes on:
The U.S. and the South Korean authorities are turning a blind eye to the dangerous stock piling of plutonium by Japan, but persistently slandering the DPRK with outcries over its nonexistent "nuclear threat" and "missile issue."
As South Korea has turned into the biggest nuclear arsenal of the U.S. in the far east, the Korean peninsula has been exposed to the constant threat of a nuclear war. To cap on it, the Japanese militarists are madly stepping up nuclear arming.
In consequences, the Korean peninsula will become the world's biggest hotbed of thermo-nuclear war.
The Japanese reactionaries should stop at once their move to transport plutonium through Korean straits.
Military attaches corps visits Jonsung Revolutionary Museum
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The military attaches corps here visited the Jonsung Revolutionary Museum on July 22 on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the Fatherland Liberation War.
After hearing explanation that the President Kim Il Sung led the Korean people and army to victory with his outstanding military idea, strategy and tactics in the period of the Fatherland Liberation War (June 25, 1950 - July 27, 1953) and mapped out a far-reaching plan for the postwar rehabilitation and contraction, the military attaches were guided to see relics and historic materials.
They looked round various revolutionary sites, including an office room and pit in which the President stayed during the Fatherland Liberation War.
Yan Jiangfeng, military attach of the embassy of the People's Republic of China here, wrote in the visitor's book that President Kim Il Sung defeated the U.S. aggressors and their stooges by wisely leading the Korean people and his great feats and the friendship sealed in blood between the peoples of China and Korea would be immortal.
Mohamed Ahamd Ashour, military attach of the embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt, wrote that through the visit he got a better knowledge about the leadership feats of the President and the place would shine forever in history as a place telling stories about the victory of heroic Korea.
The corps also visited the victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum on July 23.
S. Korean authorities' saber-rattling against north
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the National Democratic Front of South Korea (NDFSK) issued a statement on July 19 denouncing the South Korean authorities for resorting to ever more frenzied confrontation with the north, Seoul-based radio Voice of National Salvation said.
A few days ago the "Minister of National Defence" of South Korea, Jo Song Thae, made very bellicose and provocative remarks, the spokesman said, and went on to say:
Today the Kim Dae Jung group are hell-bent on the anti-north confrontation to find a way out of their awful catastrophe.
If they keep going against independence and great unity of the nation by escalating extreme war moves against the north, in wanton violation of the truce agreement and even the elementary international law, they will meet a miserable end in face of the powerful struggle of all the people who are aspiring after peace and peaceful reunification.
The NDFSK and patriotic people from all walks of life will more dynamically wage an anti-U.S., anti-war struggle for peace and reunification.
Foolish remark of pro-Japanese traitor
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The present South Korean chief executive called more than 250 leading officials under the "ROK Residents Association in Japan" to "Chongwadae" on July 21 and told them that a trip of the Japanese "Emperor" to South Korea would be realized and it would "open an epochal phase of South Korea-Japan relations", according to a radio report from Seoul.
He also cried that he would establish during the tenure of his office a foundation for South Korea and Japan to closely cooperate for peace on the Korean peninsula and in northeast Asia.
No sooner had he come to power than he "invited" the Japanese "Emperor" to "visit" South Korea. Not content with this, he personally went to Japan last October and asked the "Emperor" to come to South Korea.
This is a remark which can be made only by the present chief executive who is steeped in pro-Japanese sycophantic treacherous nature to the marrow of his bones and is treating Japan as his master.
U.S. trade pressure on S. Korea intensified
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The United States adopted an anti-dumping decision against the South Korean steel products and applied retaliatory customs duties to them, a Seoul-based radio reported.
The U.S. Department of Commerce said on July 20 that the Po Hang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Dong Guk Steel Co., Ltd. were exporting their products at unreasonably reduced prices. It decided to impose retaliatory tariff on products of those companies.
On July 21 it included South Korea in the objects of anti-dumping duty imposition and passed a preliminary anti-dumping judgement on the Dong Guk Steel Co., Ltd. Once it is finally confirmed, the Dong Guk Steel Co., Ltd. should additionally pay tariffs amounting to 6.15 percent of the export price when it exports steel products to the United States.
Recalling that the United States recorded the biggest trade deficit in history in May, the radio claimed that the U.S. is further intensifying trade pressure on South Korea in order to cover the deficit. The radio expressed concern over this.
Japan's reckless moves for overseas expansion
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- If the Japanese reactionaries ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK with an air raid on its "missile launch base" as a prelude, they will be buried at sea for good, warns Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary.
The commentary says:
The Japanese reactionaries are the fools who behave recklessly like those hunting for misfortune. They are so naive to claim that the whole land of Japan is an "unsinkable aircraft carrier." No matter how desperately the Japanese reactionaries may work, they can never fire even a bullet into the inviolable territory of the DPRK. Because that will lead them to a doom.
As we have declared more than once there is no limit to the Korean people's Army's strike. There will be no "unsinkable aircraft carrier" before it. If the Japanese reactionaries provoke the DPRK, we will mercilessly retaliate against them.
Then, Japan will not be able to evade the miserable fate of a wrecked ship, far from being an "unsinkable aircraft carrier." The Japanese reactionaries should not gamble on its future.
A signed commentary of Minju Joson says that the Japanese reactionaries are trying to cover up their reckless moves for overseas expansion with "their cries for security."
They are going to launch into overseas aggression with a surprise air attack against the DPRK under the pretext of "missile threat" from it, but it will only bring them shame before the international community and isolation in the world, warns the commentary.
