They strongly urged the Japanese government to immediately stop its moves to revive militarism and veer to the Right, noting that there is no justification for Japan to make a bid for permanent membership of the UN Security Council unless it reflects on, apologizes and compensates for the crimes the Japanese imperialists committed by reducing Asian women to sexual slaves in the past.

U.S. War Moves under Fire in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, April 22 (KCNA) -- The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification, the Reunification Solidarity, the National People's Solidarity and the Citizens' Solidarity for Peaceful Reunification in south Korea reportedly held a joint press conference in Seoul on April 18 in connection with the evermore undisguised U.S. moves for a war against the north. Speakers there demanded the dismantlement of the south Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command," holding that all war scenarios reflecting the U.S. hostile policy toward the north be cancelled without fail.
    A press release read out at the conference vehemently denounced on behalf of the 70 million fellow countrymen "the OPLAN 5029-05" worked out by the command for military invasion of the north, noting that they could not repress their anger at it.
    What is more serious is that the U.S. troops stationed in south Korea are contemplating the issue of an order for "DEFCON 3" even in case of any sign of "serious internal situation" in the north and in that case the prerogative of command over operations would automatically go over to them to adversely affect the situation on the Korean Peninsula, it noted.

    It recalled that the U.S. imperialists and the Syngman Rhee clique committed cruel terrorism and assassination against the participants of the joint conference and, at the same time, carried out the ruinous "separate election," causing the national split, an indelible crime.
    The statement underscored the need to strengthen the great unity of the whole nation for making this year a year of independent reunification and pullout of the U.S. forces.

GNP's Intrigues to Grab Power Denounced

     Pyongyang, April 22 (KCNA) -- If such a traitorous conservative camp as the Grand National Party seized power, the elementary fruits of democracy won in south Korea would be trampled upon, the fascist dictatorship of the past be revived and, worse still, the June 15 joint declaration be blown up and war holocaust be inflicted upon the Korean Peninsula, says a spokesman for the Korean Student Committee in a statement Thursday. Lambasting the current maneuvers of the GNP to rally south Korean young folks around it allegedly to prepare for the 2007 presidential election and 2008 national assembly election, the statement goes on:
    Some time ago, the GNP held a caucus meeting and discussed "measures to win the support" of young folks including the present high school and university students who would be voters in those years for victories in the elections.
    These moves of the GNP are motivated by its crafty intention to win over the young generation standing in the van of progress and reform of the south Korean society and use them as leverage for the realization of its reactionary intrigues for power.
    The GNP is a group of pro-U.S. flunkeyist traitors of worst type. Down through history, it has suppressed the struggle of the south Korean youth and students for independence, democracy and reunification, crudely trampled upon academic freedom and offered young people as cannon fodder, zealously following the U.S. policy of aggression and war. It is, indeed, a snag in the way of south Korean social progress and the main obstacle to the peace and reunification of the country.
    The south Korean youth and students and people should never be duped by the GNP's appeasement and deception, but determinedly reject its reactionary plot to seize power.

Japanese Reactionaries' Moves to Grab Tok Islet Flailed

     Pyongyang, April 22 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday in a signed article denounces the Japanese reactionaries' shameless moves to grab Tok Islet aiming at reinvasion of Korea. These moves are a revelation of their criminal design to launch reinvasion of Korea at any cost, availing themselves of the changed situation in the international arena, the article observes, and goes on: The Japanese militarists' moves to seize the islet were prompted by their ulterior aim to provide a military guarantee for the unlimited interests of the Japanese monopoly capitalists that have grown corpulent to the maximum in the 21st century and establish military supremacy in the Asia-Pacific region.
    By raising a claim to Tok Islet the Japanese reactionaries seek to spark a war of reinvasion of Korea under the pretext of regaining "their land" without being branded as an aggressor.
    It is the calculation of Japan that bringing Tok Islet, four southern Kuriles of Russia and Diaoyu Islands of China under its control would help it hold a very favorable military strategic position in Northeast Asia. The Japanese reactionaries, therefore, attach great importance to their operation to grab Tok Islet.
    These moves have rendered the situation on the Korean Peninsula tenser and resulted in building a structure of confrontation between the whole of Korea and Japan.
    The prevailing situation requires all Koreans in the north and the south to shatter the Japanese militarists' moves for reinvasion through national cooperation. If all Koreans in the north, the south and overseas pool their ardent patriotic will, they can deal a deadly blow at the Japanese militarists who run amuck like a puppy knowing no fear of a tiger and force them to stop coveting Korea again.
    The army and the people of the DPRK take a serious view of the Japanese reactionaries' moves to grab Tok Islet as part of invasion of the inviolable land of Korea. If they dare spark a war of reinvasion against Korea the army and people of the DPRK will mobilize all military potentials built up so far and deal deadly blows at them.
    Their moves to seize the islet will only drive Japan to a final ruin. They should keep this in mind and stop at once the robber-like moves to grab Tok Islet.

KPA, Champion of Peace

     Pyongyang April 22 (KCNA) -- The Korean People's Army is celebrating its 73rd birthday on April 25. The entire people of the county take this opportunity to look back on the proud history of the heroic army, which has won two wars against the Japanese and U.S. imperialists and has defended peace, frustrating all the moves of the enemies to start another war. Far from drawing a serious lesson from their defeat in the war of aggression against the DPRK in the 1950s, the US imperialists have incessantly perpetrated provocations on the ground and the sea and in the air, looking for a chance to invade the north.
    Their provocations, however, have been smashed by the KPA with an invincible might. Typical of them are the Pueblo incident (1968), EC-121 incident (1969) and Panmunjom incident (1976).
    Over the last decade, the KPA has shattered thousands of their grave military provocations to safeguard the security and peace of the country with credit.
    It was in Juche 83 (1994) that an ordinary soldier brought down at a single shot a U.S. high-performance helicopter when it intruded into the territorial air of the DPRK for a spy mission.
    The KPA has defended the sovereignty of the country and socialism, answering the imperialists' tough stance with tougher measures, undaunted by their continued moves of aggression and war.
    Under the Songun politics, it is equipped with a powerful war deterrent capable of destroying any new-type weapons and means of operation of the enemies and repulsing their surprise invasion.
    The KPA, under the command of Kim Jong Il, is fully displaying its might as an army strong in ideology and faith and as a matchless army equipped with both modern offensive and defense means.

New Anticancer Medicine Developed

     Pyongyang, April 22 (KCNA) -- Researchers of the Pharmaceutical Institute under the Academy of Medical Science of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have developed a new botanical anticancer medicine.

CEC revela ambicion del "Partido Hannara" de acceder al poder

     Pyongyang, 22 de abril (ATCC) -- Si acceden al poder las fuerzas conservadoras vendepatrias y serviles a grandes potencias como el "Partido Hannara", en el Sur de Corea se echara por la tierra el ya logrado frutito de la democratizacion, se resucitara la dictadura fascista del pasado, se invalidara la Declaracion Conjunta Norte-Sur del 15 de Junio y caera la Peninsula Coreana en flagelos de la guerra. Asi senala el portavoz del Comite de Estudiantes de Corea (CEC) en su declaracion fechada 21 y prosigue:
    En estos tiempos, el "Partido Hannara" maniobra para ganar la juventud surcoreana como colofon de sus preparativos para las "elecciones presidenciales" del 2007 y las "generales de la Asamblea Nacional" del 2008.
    En una reciente "reunion de los cuadros importantes del partido", esta agrupacion politica decidio tomar "medidas para ganar el apoyo" de la juventud surcoreana, entre otros, los actuales alumnos de las escuelas superiores y estudiantes universitarios quienes entraran en edad de votar cuando se celebren las proximas "elecciones presidenciales y generales".
    Tales maniobras del "Hannara" parten de un astuto intento de emplear a los jovenes en la realizacion de su ambicion reaccionaria por el poder tras separarlos de las filas de vanguardias en la lucha por el progreso y la reforma de la sociedad surcoreana.
    Historicamente, esta banda de peores traidores serviles a EE.UU. ha reprimido la lucha de los jovenes estudiantes surcoreanos por la soberania, la democracia y la reunificacion, ha pisoteado salvajemente la libertad de estudiar y ha lanzado a los jovenes y adultos connacionales como carnes de canon para el cumplimiento de la politica de agresion y guerra de EE.UU.
    De hecho, esta agrupacion deviene el escollo mas grande para el desarrollo social del Sur de Corea, la paz y la reunificacion de Corea.
    Todos los jovenes estudiantes y los demas habitantes surcoreanos nunca deben dejarse enganar por tejemanejes seductivos del "Hannara" y rechazar resueltamente su intrigante y reaccionaria ambicion por el poder.
