Paekma-Cholsan Waterway Completed

     Phihyon, October 2 (KCNA) -- A ceremony of commissioning Paekma-Cholsan Waterway, a monumental edifice in the Songun era, took place on Oct. 2. The more than 270 km-long waterway is a huge modern gravity-fed irrigation system for supplying tens of thousands of jongmi of water (one jongmi is approximately 10,000 cubic meters) from Lake Paekma to a vast area of cultivated land in six cities and counties including Ryongchon, Yomju and Cholsan counties and Sinuiju City. The successful completion of the waterway in little more than two years helps perfect the irrigation system in the western area of the country on a higher stage. Premier of the DPRK Cabinet Pak Pong Ju conveyed a congratulatory message of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea to the builders and helpers who have performed labor feats in the project.
    Pak Yong Sok, chairman of the Central Control Commission of the WPK, made a report. At the end of the ceremony, the participants looked round Lake Paekma, waterway and structures.

Japan Urged to Drop Servile Attitude toward U.S.

     Pyongyang, October 2 (KCNA) -- The Japanese diplomatic boss in a speech at the 60th session of the UN General Assembly said that the DPRK nuclear program is a serious challenge to the international non-proliferation system and a direct threat to Northeast Asian peace and security. Commenting on this, Minju Joson Sunday brands his political ignorance and wrong viewpoint of thinking as the inevitable result of consciousness of toeing the U.S. line. His remarks are of no value and significance, the signed commentary says, and goes on:
    If the U.S. had not threatened the DPRK with the policy of hostility toward it, the current nuclear issue would not have surfaced and the DPRK would not have needed even one nuke.
    Therefore, if Japan had been to talk about the nuclear non-proliferation system it would have taken issue with the U.S. which spawned the present serious situation. It is all the more preposterous sophism to assert that the DPRK's nuclear program would pose a direct threat to peace and security in Northeast Asia. In fact, it is a miracle that peace is now being maintained in Northeast Asia. Its basic factor is the self-reliant nuclear deterrent of the DPRK.
    If the DPRK had not made due efforts to strengthen its self-reliant defense power, tens of wars like in Iraq would have broken out.
    Any politician and any diplomat should have known this reason. The Japanese politicians have totally lost the ability of objective and independent analysis of matters and phenomena, obsessed by illusion and servility toward the U.S. to the marrow of their bones.
    Japan should get rid of the deep-rooted consciousness of toeing the U.S. line.

Early Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from S. Korea Demanded

     Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- If the United States is truly interested in peace on the Korean Peninsula and its reunification it should abrogate the U.S.-South Korea "mutual defence treaty" and pull its forces back from south Korea without delay. Rodong Sinmun Saturday demands this in a signed commentary carried 52 years since the fabrication of the treaty.
    The commentary says:
    The U.S. imperialists could find no more pretext to keep south Korea under its occupation indefinitely after the conclusion of the Armistice Agreement in the wake of their defeat in the Korean War. So, they cooked up this treaty in a bid to disturb the struggle of the Korean people for the peaceful reunification of the country and start another Korean war of aggression after abrogating the agreement, if necessary. It is on the strength of this treaty that the U.S. imperialists have turned the whole land of south Korea into military bases, bringing untold misfortune and hardships to its people, and forward-deployed huge armed forces of aggression in south Korea, escalating the military tension on the Korean Peninsula.
    The danger of the treaty is increasing as the days go by. The U.S. imperialists have equipped their forces in south Korea with modern means of war and staged ceaseless joint military exercises with the south Korean army to launch a war to seize the DPRK. It is none other than the U.S. that has persistently stood in the way of peace and reunification of the peninsula. It can never cover up its crimes. The treaty was a product of the Cold War era. With nothing can the U.S. justify its moves to keep this criminal treaty and reinforce its military presence and domination over south Korea and ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK on its strength and go scot-free.

Rodong Sinmun on History of Ever-Victorious WPK

     Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- It is an important requirement for remaining intensely loyal to President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il to deeply grasp the greatness of the 60-year-long history of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK). Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in an editorial. During the last six decades the WPK has victoriously led the most arduous and complicated struggle of the times including the deep-going social revolution, the hard-fought war, the gigantic socialist construction and the struggle to defend socialism without gunfire under the banners of the Juche idea and the single-minded unity, the editorial notes, and goes on:
    The history of the WPK precisely means the history of the great revolutionary activities of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. The path of arduous struggle covered by the WPK and its glorious road of victory are associated with their giant footprints. All the achievements of the WPK have been possible only thanks to their tireless efforts. It is necessary, first of all, to firmly arm oneself with the Juche idea of the WPK and cherish it as unshakable faith.
    We should conduct the work to embody the Juche idea as required by the Songun era at a new higher stage in order to augment the political, economic and military power of the country in every way and bring socialist national culture into full bloom. The history of the WPK is the history in which importance has been attached to the army, the history in which we have won victory after victory in the struggle to defend the sovereignty of the country and the fierce confrontation with imperialism, tightly holding arms, while firmly grasping ideology.
    Thanks to the 45 year-long history of the immortal Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, the WPK's 60 year-long history is great and the country and the revolution have a rosy future.
    It is necessary to deeply grasp the undying history of the WPK which has worked epoch-making miracles in socialist construction by dint of the single-minded unity of all people.
    It is also necessary to successfully carry forward the WPK's history of noble comradeship in order to make comradeship and the spirit of collectivism prevail throughout the country and complete the Korean revolution with the might of the revolutionary comradeship and the might of single-minded unity sharing the destiny with the leader. All the Party members and other working people in all fields and at all units of national economy including agriculture, the main sector of the socialist economic construction, should fully display the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude to thoroughly carry out their tasks without fail and greet the 60th anniversary of the WPK with great labor gifts to it.

EE.UU. debe invalidar tratado de defensa mutua con Sur de Corea

    @Pyongyang, el primero de octubre (ATCC) -- El rotativo Rodong Sinmun inserto en su edicion del dia primero un comentario individual con respecto al 52 aniversario de la invencion del "Tratado de Defensa Mutua" estadounidense-surcoreano. Una vez derrotados en la pasada guerra coreana (1950-1953), los imperialistas norteamericanos necesitaron buscar un nuevo pretexto para ocupar eternamente el territorio surcoreano, precisa el comentarista y prosigue:
    Por esta razon, fraguaron ese tratado a fin de estropear la lucha del pueblo coreano por la reunificacion pacifica de la patria y provocar una nueva guerra de agresion al Norte de Corea al quebrar el acuerdo de armisticio de Corea cuando lo considere necesario.
    En virtud de ese protocolo, convirtieron el suelo surcoreano en una vasta base militar e impusieron incontables desgracias y sufrimientos a los habitantes surcoreanos, al tiempo que agravan la ya tirante situacion militar en la Peninsula Coreana ubicando en zonas del frente del Sur de Corea a sus colosales fuerzas invasoras. De mal en peor, su peligrosidad crece cada dia mas. Pues los imperialistas gringos pertrecharon a sus tropas ocupantes del Sur de Corea con medios belicos ultramodernos y siguen desarrollando maniobras conjuntas con el ejercito surcoreano para ejercitar la agresion al Norte de Corea.
    Por ende, es el mismo Tio Sam el culpable que bloquea el proceso apaciguador y la reunificacion de la Peninsula Coreana.
    Los yanquis nunca podran encubrir sus crimenes.
    El tratado en cuestion es un producto de la epoca de la Guerra Fria. Por lo tanto, no se puede justificar ni permitir el intento de EE.UU. de mantener ese criminal tratado, recrudecer a base de este el dominio y la ocupacion militar sobre el suelo surcoreano y atizar el fuego a la guerra de agresion contra el Norte de Corea.

Senala asi el diario Rodong Sinmun en el editorial insertado en su edicion del dia primero y prosigue:
    A lo largo de estos 60 anos, el PTC, con la bandera de la idea Juche y la de unidad monolitica en alto, ha conducido a la victoria la lucha mas dificil y compleja de la epoca actual como la severa revolucion social, la guerra muy dura, la gigantesca construccion socialista y la batalla sin detonaciones de fusil y canon por defender el socialismo. La historia del PTC es precisamente la de las grandes actividades revolucionarias del Presidente y del Dirigente. Tanto en el camino de lucha llena de pruebas como en el de triunfo recorrido por el PTC estan impregnadas las nobles huellas del Presidente y del Dirigente, y todos los meritos del PTC son frutos de abnegacion incansable de estos grandes hombres.
    Debemos armarnos firmemente con la idea Juche de nuestro partido y tomarla por el credo firme.
    Es necesario desplegar en una nueva etapa alta la labor para materializar la idea Juche de arreglo con la demanda de la epoca del Songun (priorizacion militar) para fortalecer aun mas el poderio politico, economico y militar del pais y desarrollar la cultura nacional socialista.
    Al dar prioridad a las fuerzas armadas junto con la ideologia, el PTC ha venido defendiendo la soberania del pais y logrando victorias sucesivas en la batalla de confrontacion con el imperialismo.
    Gracias a la trayectoria de 45 anos de direccion del Dirigente sobre la revolucion mediante el Songun, la historia de 60 anos del PTC es tan estupenda y se asegura firmemente el radiante futuro de la patria y la revolucion coreana. Es preciso asimilar profundamente la historia del PTC que ha venido creando milagros seculares en la construccion socialista con el poderio de la unidad monolitica de todo el pueblo.
    Tambien debemos continuar con brillantez la historia de noble camaraderia del PTC para hacer florecer en todo el pais el espiritu de amor camaraderil y de colectivismo y llevar a feliz termino la revolucion coreana con el poderio de la unidad monolitica y de la camaraderia revolucionaria que comparte el destino con el Dirigente. Los militantes del partido y otros trabajadores de todas las ramas y unidades de la economia nacional, incluso el sector agricola, frente principal de la construccion economica socialista, deben poner de pleno manifiesto el espiritu revolucionario de autoconfianza para cumplir incondicionalmente sus deberes encargados y celebrar el 60o aniversario de la fundacion del PTC con grandes regalos laborales dirigidos al partido madre.
