Fifth Anniversary of Buddhist Headquarters Commemorated in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- A ceremony of commemorating the fifth anniversary of the Headquarters of Buddhist Jogye Order for the Promotion of the National Community (Minchubon) in south Korea was reportedly held in Seoul on June 29 with the attendance of Buddhist officials, Han Sang Ryol, permanent representative-chairman of the Reunification Solidarity, Chairman Ri Kyu Jae and Honorary Chairman Ri Jong Rin of the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification (Pomminryon) and representatives of other reunification movement organizations. Speakers at the ceremony said that the religionists have struggled for the peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula together with reunification movement organizations and that Minchubon should conduct more vigorous activities for inter-Korean exchange and cooperation.
    The congratulatory messages read out at the ceremony called upon the religionists in the south and the north to strive for the peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

Halt to U.S. Instigation for War Demanded in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- The Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration in a statement on June 28 said that if the U.S. truly wants dialogue, it should immediately halt its instigation for a war under the pretext of "human rights", though belatedly, according to a press report. The statement said that the U.S. has still posed a threat of war against the north and aggravated tensions on the Korean Peninsula under the pretext of the "nuclear issue of the north" and "human rights issue".
    The U.S. has never missed every opportunity without saying that it wants the resumption and progress of the six-party talks and it recognizes the north as a sovereign state, but it clearly shows that it is nothing but hypocrisy, the statement said.

U.S. Escape Exercise Disclosed

     Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- It was recently disclosed that the U.S. troops stationed in south Korea have conducted in extreme secrecy the exercises for escaping from the Korean Peninsula to provide for the operations for a preemptive attack upon the north, according to a press report. On April 29, the U.S. forces command in south Korea launched an escape exercise to cope with the circumstances of a real war, including the departure of a speed boat carrying the U.S. troops and their families from Pusan Port.
    The U.S. troops have launched such exercises two times every year in the way of noticing the content of documentary operations for the purpose of rapidly evacuating the U.S. troops and their families in case of emergency on the Korean Peninsula.
    But the U.S. troops conducted the exercise this time under the simulated conditions of an actual war with the participation of the troops and their families in different parts of south Korea.
    Such ill-boding military moves meaning the final completion of preparations for a preemptive nuclear attack upon the DPRK clearly hint that the U.S. bellicose forces' ignition of war is just near at hand.

Adherence to Principle of National Independence in Natfl Reunification Called for

     Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- The Korean nation's struggle for achieving national reunification is, in essence, the struggle to retake the sovereignty of the nation that was trampled down by foreign forces and realize national independence all over the country. The Korean people's cause of national reunification is a matter of the Korean nation itself and an issue related to the sovereignty of the nation in which any outsider should and can not intervene. Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a signed article.
    Noting that the principle of national independence is a basic principle of carving out the destiny of the nation all the Koreans should invariably hold fast to and thoroughly apply in the struggle for national reunification, the article goes on:
    The Korean nation should hold fast to the principle of national independence that helps achieve the country's reunification with their own efforts as a master according to their independent will and demand.
    If the reunification of the country is to be achieved on the principle of national independence, all the members of the nation should firmly arm themselves with the consciousness of national independence and oppose and reject flunkeyism and the idea of dependence on foreign forces.
    The consciousness of national independence is the ideological might that makes the nation strong and helps all its members fulfill their role as the master of reunification, but flunkeyism and the idea of dependence upon outsiders are an ideological poison that makes a nation servile and impotent and is seriously harmful to reunification.
    Only when all the fellow countrymen have the transparent spirit of national independence and thoroughly reject flunkeyism and dependence on outside forces can the Korean nation accomplish the cause of national reunification in conformity with the will and interests of the nation.
    To train the stout driving force of the nation is one of important ways to solve the issue of national reunification on the principle of national independence.
    The idea and line on the principle of national independence set forth by leader Kim Jong Il is the most just idea and line representing the fundamental interests, demand, unanimous desire and aspiration of the Korean nation. All the Koreans in the north and the south and overseas should invariably hold fast to his idea and policy of reunification with national independence and push forward the movement for national independence and reunification, the article concludes.

Pyongyang Mass Rally Held

     Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- A Pyongyang mass rally of over 100,000 working people from all walks of life took place at Kim Il Sung Square Sunday to carry through the joint slogans published by the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the WPK. Present there were Pak Pong Ju, Choe Thae Bok, Yang Hyong Sop and other senior party and state officials.
    Ryang Man Gil, chairman of the Pyongyang City People's Committee, in a report said that the joint slogans fully reflect the revolutionary aspiration and desire of the Korean people to attain a high goal of building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation as soon as possible under the banner of Songun by brilliantly adorning the 60th anniversary of the WPK with a great victory.
    The joint slogans set forth the militant tasks and ways for the whole party and army and all the people to achieve a decisive victory in the confrontation with imperialism and the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation, united close around leader Kim Jong Il, holding President Kim Il Sung in high esteem for all ages, the reporter said, laying stress on strengthening the single-minded unity of the DPRK in every way with the headquarters of the revolution as its hardcore, holding higher the banner of devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution.
    To bring about a decisive turn in the economic construction and people's living this year which marks the 60th anniversaries of the WPK and the national liberation is the main task of the present general advance, the reporter said, calling upon all the party members and other people to turn out as one in the worthwhile struggle to implement the tasks set forth in the joint slogans, glorify the grand October festival with proud victories and create a new heroic epic in the Songun era.
    Addressing the rally, representatives of all social strata stressed the need to firmly arm all the party members and other working people with the Juche idea and the Songun idea of the WPK, resolutely shatter the imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and actively contribute to consolidating the political and ideological position and class position of the capital as firm as a rock.
    The speakers underlined the need to manure and cultivate crops as demanded by the Juche farming method for the present so as to bring about a bumper harvest this significant year in response to the militant appeal of the joint slogan "Let us mobilize all forces to concentrate on farming to hit the target of grain production for this year without fail!"
    They called for creating the construction speed of the Songun era in the construction of the capital as they did the "Pyongyang speed" which startled the world people by marching forward in the saddle of Chollima after the war so as to successfully complete the construction of the assigned objects as scheduled.

RS. Calls for foiling Imperialists' Moves for Ideological and Cultural Poisoning

     Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- The struggle against the imperialists' moves for ideological and cultural poisoning at the present is the struggle to defend the consciousness of national independence and accelerate the building of a new society and, at the same time, the main link of the anti-imperialist struggle, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed article. Bourgeois ideological and cultural poisoning is a means of aggression and intervention, the article notes.
    Referring to the fact that the United States has long resorted to the moves for ideological and cultural poisoning through corrupt films, radio voices and television broadcasting, it goes on:
    Today the DPRK is the main target of the U.S. ideological and cultural poisoning. The U.S. enacted the anti-DPRK evil law such as "north Korean Human Rights Act" in spite of opposition and denunciation at home and abroad. It is scheming to divide and disorganize the DPRK and spread American-style "democracy", while planning to nominate a "special envoy in charge of north Korean human rights" under the pretext of "improved human rights".
    It is now getting all the more vicious in its moves to massively smuggle small radios, ultra-small TV sets, etc. into the DPRK in an attempt to destroy the single-minded unity of the DPRK and disorganize and degenerate it.
    In order to shatter the imperialists' moves for ideological and cultural poisoning, it is imperative to enhance the consciousness of national independence and thoroughly reject American-style "democracy" and way of life.
    Those countries aspiring after independence should not depend on the "aid" of the West but train their strength in their own spirit and strive to settle the impending issues with their independent and creative stand.
    And they should pay deep attention to ideological education among young people and firmly arm people with anti-American working class consciousness.

47th Rally for Peace and Disarmament Held in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- The 47th rally for peace and disarmament was reportedly held in front of the building of the south Korean Ministry of National Defence on June 28 under the sponsorship of the People for Achieving Peace and Reunification.

    Speakers at the rally charged that the "mid-term plan for national defence" being pushed forward by the south Korean military authorities under the pretext of "cooperative self-reliant national defence" is aimed to back the realization of strategic flexibility of the U.S. troops in south Korea and introduce high-tech weapons and latest military equipment into south Korea from the United States.
    They urged the Ministry of National Defence to fully reexamine the plan designed to stoke confrontation between the south and the north and block peaceful reunification and opt for peace and disarmament.
    A resolution released at the rally demanded an immediate stop to the military exercises targeted against the north and the arms build-up aimed at escalating the military confrontation and tensions between the south and the north and the drop of spurious "theory of cooperative self-reliant national defence".

Downfall of Capitalism and Victory of Socialism, Law of Historical Development

     Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- It is an inexorable truth that socialism that is new overpowers and defeats capitalism that is old and without future, declares Rodong Sinmun Saturday, adding: No force can change this law of historical development. The author of the article says:
    In capitalist society, neither the inequality in material life can be removed nor the imbalance between material life and mental and cultural life getting further impoverished and that between the growing demand of the popular masses for independence and their worsening political life can be overcome because the material life of the people becomes deformed, their mental and cultural life impoverished and political life is made extremely reactionary.
    Herein lie the insoluble contradictions in capitalist society and, for this reason, the collapse of capitalism is inevitable.
    Capitalism is in a serious economic crisis and the contradictions and confrontation among the capitalist countries are escalated. Capitalism is the rubbish of history which has lived its days, being the most reactionary old force in human history.
    Stating that socialism is sure to emerge victorious for its scientific accuracy and truth, the article continues:
    Socialism is the ideal of humankind and a society representing its future. The ideal of humankind is to lead an independent and happy life together in a free and peaceful world without any form of exploitation and oppression, domination and subjugation, aggression and war. This common demand and aspiration of humankind are embodied in socialist idea.
    The orientation of historical development is development to socialism. Transition from capitalism to socialism is the lawful course of the development of human society. If the independence of the popular masses is to be realized, the capitalist society based on individualism has to give place to the socialist society based on collectivism. This is an immovable truth and the historical sum total of the development of human society.
    The world revolutionary people should wage a vigorous struggle to advance the socialist cause, deeply conscious of the scientific truth that it is the law of historical development that capitalism goes to ruin and socialism triumphs.

Centenarians Increase

     Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- A centenarian birthday table sent by leader Kim Jong Il was conveyed to grandma Song Yong Suk living in Sinyang-dong, Sariwon City, North Hwanghae Province, on Friday. Centenarians are growing in number in Korea. This year, too, macrobians have been reported from different parts of the country.
    Some time ago macrobians including Ko Ok Dok residing in Saegori-dong, Haeju City, South Hwanghae Province, Kim Won Suk in Tohwa-ri, Kaechon City, South Phyongan Province, and Ri Won Ho in Ryonghung-ri, Mundok County, South Phyongan Province, greeted their centenarian birthday.
    Old folks who have lived more than 100 years and old men past 90 who have newly registered as macrobians are many across the country. They are under the special care of doctors assigned to them.
    From old times, it was said many people lived long in ideal land with clean air and water. But, before the liberation of the country, the Korean people could not realize their desire to live long in happiness in this good land. In the same land 90-100 years old macrobians are growing in number day by day. This secret cannot be explained only by natural elements.
    The macrobians say in unison that they live long in good health as they enjoy a happy life under the rays of the sun that has provided them with a kind socialist health care system and takes care of their destiny in a responsible manner.
    Kim Jong Il sends benevolent birthday tables to centenarians, so glad at the reports about them.
    The increase of macrobians is a pride and joy of the country and they are blessed by the leader. This rare reality can be witnessed only under the socialist system of Korea centred on the popular masses.

Society for Rallying Comrades, First Party Organization in Korea

     Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- Seventy-five years have elapsed since the first party organization in Korea -- the Society for Rallying Comrades -- was formed. After advancing a proper and realistic policy for founding a party at the historic Kalun Meeting (June 30-July 2, 1930) President Kim Il Sung formed the first party organization at Jinmyong School in Kalun on July 3, Juche 19 (1930).
    The first party organization was the embryo and seed of the Workers' Party of Korea. From then on, the Korean revolution could advance with a true vanguard of revolutionaries of a new generation under the leadership of the President.
    As a solid foundation for building a party was laid during the hard-fought anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, the WPK could be founded in a matter of two months after the country's liberation.
    The WPK was further strengthened through the fierce Fatherland Liberation War, the difficult postwar rehabilitation and construction, and the tremendous creation and construction for laying the foundation of socialism through the Chollima upsurge. And it has grown up to be a strong party with millions of members.
    During the trial years of the "Arduous March" and forced march the Party's cohesion and the unity of the revolutionary ranks were cemented.
    The WPK, the unity of which has been consolidated thanks to the ideas of the President and the leadership of Kim Jong Il, will always lead the revolution and construction to victory.

Socialismo derrotara sin falta al capitalismo, subraya Rodong Sinmun

     Pyongyang, 2 de julio (ATCC) -- Es una verdad inmutable que el novedoso socialismo superara al caduco capitalismo que no tiene futuro. Nadie puede alterar esta ley del desarrollo de la historia. Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual insertado en su edicion del dia 2 y amplia:
    En la sociedad capitalista, donde las personas llevan la vida material deformada, la espiritual y cultural empobrecida y la politica sumamente reaccionaria, es imposible eliminar la desigualdad en la primera y superar el desequilibrio entre esta y la segunda y entre la creciente demanda independiente de las masas populares y la tercera que va de mal en peor.
    He aqui las contradicciones insolubles de la sociedad capitalista, a causa de las cuales esta sociedad no podra evitar su derrumbe.
    Ademas, el capitalismo atraviesa una crisis economica muy seria y entre los mismos paises capitalistas crecen las contradicciones y antagonismos. Pues, en la historia humana el capitalismo es la fuerza mas reaccionaria y caduca que no puede mantenerse por mas tiempo.
    A cambio, por su cientificidad y veracidad, el socialista triunfara sin falta.
    El socialismo deviene el ideal de la especie humana y representa el futuro de esta. El ideal de la humanidad es llevar una vida feliz e independiente por igual en un mundo pacifico libre de explotacion y opresion de todo tipo, de dominacion y subyugacion, de agresion y guerra. Tal demanda y aspiracion comunes de la humanidad las encarna justamente el ideal socialista.
    El curso de la historia se enrumba hacia el socialismo. Es un proceso legitimo la transicion del capitalismo al socialismo. Para verificar la independencia de las masas populares, es indispensablemente necesaria la transicion del capitalismo egoista al socialismo colectivista. Esto es una verdad inmutable y balance historico del desarrollo de la sociedad humana.
    Los pueblos revolucionarios del mundo deben hacer de esta legitimidad -de la ruina del capitalismo y el triunfo del socialismo- su fe y luchar energicamente por llevar adelante la causa socialista.
