Revolutionary Principle in Anti-Imperialist Struggle Called for

     Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- The present international situation requires those countries valuing their dignity sovereignty to sternly counter the U.S. moves for aggression. They should never concede the principles to the U.S. imperialists but resolutely fight against them without slightest delusion and expectation. Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    Retreat or submission in the confrontation with the enemy will lead to death. One should not betray one's weakness before such ferocious enemies as the U.S. imperialists but resolutely fight against them. The more concessive one is, the more arrogant the U.S. is.
    It is the way of defending the destiny of a country and a nation to return strength for strength and respond to the arrogant use of armed forces with merciless punishment. Fear of the U.S. imperialists benumbs the anti-U.S. spirit and weakens the anti-U.S. struggle.
    Fear of the U.S. imperialists will give rise to flattery and submission to them. If one is afraid of the U.S., one cannot have one's say nor can do what one should do. On the contrary, one is forced to curry favor with it, losing one's independence and the Juche character and reading its face.
    The U.S. is not a fearful entity at all.
    If one is to stand up to the U.S. imperialists, one should build up military strength. Arms should be returned for arms. Strong arms strengthen pluck. Victory is in store for those countries and nations which fight sternly against the enemy. This has been proved by the history of the Korean people's struggle. The important lesson the Korean people have drawn in the confrontation with the U.S. imperialists is that they can emerge victorious when they wage a toughest struggle against the enemy without any slightest concession of principle or retreat. It is the rock-firm determination and immutable will of the Korean army and people to achieve a final victory in the fierce fight against the U.S. hard-line moves to stifle them.

Appeal of Joint Meeting of DPRK Government, Political Parties and Organizations Supported

     Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- To keep the surging atmosphere of promoting national concord and unity is very important in launching a powerful patriotic campaign for great national unity this year to activate the movement for independent reunification, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed article. To achieve concord and great unity of the whole nation is a sure guarantee for reunifying Korea independently and peacefully, the article says, and goes on: Division of the nation and confrontation cannot be terminated nor can the country be reunified independently and peacefully without reconciliation and unity.
    The joint New Year editorial calls for keeping the surging atmosphere of promoting national reconciliation and unity. This is a very realistic and just appeal to realize great national unity and develop the movement for independent reunification. All the Koreans should keep the surging atmosphere of promoting national reconciliation and unity this year in response to the call of the joint editorial. "By our nation itself" is the banner of struggle for national reconciliation and unity. The attraction and vitality of the idea of "By our nation itself" are growing stronger day by day. All the Koreans should continue promoting reconciliation and unity, invariably holding high the banner of "By our nation itself".
    Aspiration and enthusiasm of the Korean nation for reconciliation and unity are remarkably high. It is necessary to conduct multifarious functions for reunification which will enhance the zeal for national reconciliation and unity this year, too, and make them grounds for great national unity. It is imperative to continue developing the work for inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation so as to make it conducive to independent reunification and common prosperity of the nation on the principle of "By our nation itself".
    It is also imperative to conduct a nation-wide struggle to shatter the moves of the separatist forces at home and abroad standing in the way of national reconciliation and unity.
    The article calls upon all the Koreans to categorically oppose and reject the unreasonable moves of the U.S. to put a spoke in the wheel of north-south relations and national unity and firmly defend the lineage of national independence. It also calls for checking and frustrating the desperate moves of the pro-U.S. conservative forces by great unity against conservatives in south Korea.

Dismantlement of "UN Command" Demanded

     Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is keen to justify its forces' presence in south Korea and increase its influence in Northeast Asia by ceaselessly putting up the worn-out signboard of the "UN Command." But no matter how desperately the U.S. may project the existence of the "UN Command" in south Korea it can never cover up its injustice and illegality. Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a signed commentary. The "UN forces" what the U.S. called were neither based on any UN resolution nor organized by the UN, the commentary says, and goes on:
    The existence of the command was illegal and a wanton violation of the UN Charter in view of the background against which it was formed, its military system and financial source.
    It is all the more brazen-faced for the U.S. to talk about the role of the U.S. forces in south Korea as the "UN peace-keeping forces".
    The U.S. has threatened peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and increased the danger of a war. This was the only thing it has done through the command. The U.S. imperialist aggression forces in south Korea are the root cause of the escalating tension and war on the peninsula and a cancer-like entity in the way of achieving peace and reunification.
    It is the U.S. imperialists' invariable strategy for aggression to realize their ambition to dominate Asia with the Korean Peninsula as a military stronghold. No matter how much the U.S. imperialists may publicize their forces' role as the "UN peace-keeping forces" they can never cover up their true colors as warmongers. The U.S. can never escape the censure and condemnation by the international community for its arrogant acts of defying the UN, mocking at it and abusing its name. The command should be dismantled at an early date and the U.S. forces in south Korea under the UN helmets should be pulled out of it without delay. If the U.S. is truly willing to prevent a war and ensure peace on the Korean Peninsula and improve relations with the DPRK it should make a bold decision to dismantle the command and pull back its forces from south Korea without delay.

Japan's Liquidation of Its Past Crimes Called for

     Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today carries a signed article a hundred years after the Japanese imperialists robbed the Korean nation of state power by dint of an illegal "treaty" called the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty" and set up the "Korean Residency-General" ("Government-General" afterwards), a colonial ruling machine, in Seoul. The Japanese imperialists are the sworn enemy of the Korean nation who inflicted the incurable wounds of grudge on the Koreans by enforcing the most brutal colonial enslavement policy unprecedented in history during their 40-odd-year occupation of Korea, the article says, and goes on:
    With the notorious "government-general" they brutally cracked down on the anti-Japanese struggle of the Korean people and ruthlessly punished and killed a large number of patriots.
    The forcible drafting of Koreans and sexual slavery atrocities committed by them in the past were the ultra-large crimes of human slaughter aimed at annihilating the Korean nation. Their moves to obliterate the peculiar soul, long-standing tradition and all the legacies and treasures of the Korean nation were also most cruel in history. Their actions for stamping out the Korean language and its national character were the most brutal and cruel, mental torture imposed upon the Koreans.
    No matter how much water may flow under the bridge and how many generations and centuries may change, the Koreans will never forget the blood-stained crimes of the Japanese imperialists seeking to exterminate the Korean nation after occupying Korea by force of arms.
    The Koreans will never pardon the crimes of Japan which offered its whole territory as a logistic, repair and supply base and a sortie base for the U.S. imperialist aggression troops, zealously engaging itself in the implementation of the U.S. imperialists' policy of aggression aimed at occupying the whole of Korea and has joined the U.S. imperialists in their moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
    The U.S. and Japanese aggressors are, indeed, the sworn enemies who have long imposed all misfortunes and sufferings upon the Korean people. The article calls upon all the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad to turn out as one in the anti-U.S., anti-Japanese struggle to settle the crime-woven history of the Japanese imperialists who set up the colonial "government-general" with the backing of the U.S. and mercilessly trampled down the sovereignty of the Korean nation.

Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea 60 Years Old

     Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Saturday carries a signed article dealing with the immortal exploits of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il who have developed the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea into a revolutionary and militant political organization resolutely defending and upholding the ideology and cause of the Workers' Party of Korea. Kim Il Sung formed the union, clearly indicated its tasks in every period and at every stage of the developing revolution and wisely led it to discharge its duty as an ideological and educational organization, the article says, and goes on; It is thanks to his wise guidance and deep trust that the agricultural workers of Korea have always traversed a proud road of victory under the guidance of the party, for example in the period of building a new country after Korea's liberation, in the grim period of the Fatherland Liberation War, the difficult periods of post-war rehabilitation and socialist construction and at every other period and stage of the developing revolution.
    The Juche-oriented farmers' movement started by the President has entered a higher stage of its development under the guidance of Kim Jong Il.
    Kim Jong Il clarified the duty of the union, principles to be observed in its activities and fighting tasks to meet the requirements of the developing revolution for modeling the whole society on the Juche idea and led the work for bringing about a revolutionary turn in its activities.
    He authored the famous work "On Stepping Up the Work of the Union of Agricultural Working People" in which he comprehensively clarified the nature and main duty of the union and the ways for carrying out it. This marked a historic occasion in strengthening the work of the union.
    Under his leadership all the agricultural workers are now creditably discharging their mission and role in the general march of building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation full of great ambition and confidence, cherishing the unshakable faith in socialism.
    The last six decades covered by the union represent a shining history in which it has defended and successfully exalted Kim Il Sung's idea of building a mass organization and exploits performed in this course under Kim Jong Il's leadership.

For Spanish-speaking people

Rodong Sinmun demanda disolucion de "comandancia de fuerzas de ONU"

    　Pyongyang, 4 de febrero (ATCC) -- Estados Unidos. hace esfuerzos desesperados por poner en relieve la existencia de la "comandancia de las fuerzas de la ONU" en el suelo surcoreano a fin de legalizar la ocupacion de sus tropas en el Sur de Corea con el resurgimiento del destenido rotulo de dicha "comandancia" y ampliar su influencia en la region del Nordeste Asiatico. Pero no puede ocultar jamas la injustaza e ilegalidad de ella. Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 4 y continua: Las "fuerzas de la ONU" de que habla EE.UU. no son producto de alguna resolucion de la ONU ni criatura de esta organizacion internacional.
    La existencia de la "comandancia de las fuerzas de la ONU" en el Sur de Corea deviene un producto ilegal y flagrante violacion de la Carta de la ONU a juzgar por el proceso de su organizacion, su sistema militar y asignacion financiera.
    Descaradamente, EE.UU. aboga por el "papel de fuerzas de mantenimiento de la paz de la ONU" de sus tropas ocupantes del Sur de Corea.
    Lo que EE.UU. hizo a traves de la "comandancia de las fuerzas de la ONU" es que amenazo la paz y seguridad y aumento el peligro de guerra en la Peninsula Coreana. Las tropas agresoras yanquis ocupantes del Sur de Corea son fuente de la tirantez y la guerra y perturbadoras de la paz y la reunificacion de la Peninsula Coreana. Realizar la ambicion de dominio sobre Asia tomando por punto de apoyo militar esta Peninsula es una invariable estrategia agresiva de los yanquis. Por mucho que estos hablen del "papel de fuerzas de mantenimiento de la paz de la ONU", no pueden ocultar su naturaleza de frenetico de guerra y belicista. Los actos arrogantes de EE.UU. de despreciar, burlar y abusar del nombre de la ONU no podran evitar la denuncia y rechazo de la sociedad internacional. La "comandancia de las fuerzas de la ONU" debe ser disuelta cuanto antes y las tropas norteamericanas disfrazadas con el "casco azul" deben retirarse sin mas demora del Sur de Corea. Si de veras EE.UU. tiene la voluntad de prevenir la guerra, preservar la paz en la Peninsula Coreana y mejorar las relaciones con la RPDC, debe tomar la decision de desmantelar la "comandancia de las fuerzas de la ONU" y retirar sus tropas del Sur de Corea.

Japon debe liquidar crimenes perpetrados en el pasado

    　Pyongyang, 4 de febrero (ATCC) -- El diario Rodong Sinmun inserto en su edicion del dia 4 un articulo individual dedicado al centenario del establecimiento en Seul de la "residencia general de Corea" (despues el gobierno general), aparato de dominacion colonial por los imperialistas japoneses que arrebataron el poder estatal de la nacion coreana con el fraudulento "tratado de cinco puntos Ulsa (1905)". 　Los imperialistas japoneses son los enemigos jurados de la nacion coreana que durante mas de 40 anos de su ocupacion de Corea practicaron la mas siniestra politica de esclavitud colonial dejando la imborrable herida de rencor a nuestros connacionales, comienza el articulo y continua:
    　Los nipones valiendose del "gobierno general" reprimieron despiadadamente la lucha antijaponesa del pueblo coreano y asesinaron a un sinnumero de patriotas. 　El arresto forzado de los coreanos y la vida de esclavas sexuales impuestos por los imperialistas japoneses eran el magno crimen para exterminar a la nacion coreana. 　Fueron mas siniestras sin precedentes en la historia las maniobras de los imperialistas japoneses encaminadas a suprimir la propia alma, largas tradiciones, todas las riquezas y patrimonios de la nacion coreana.
    　El siniestro acto de supresion de la lengua coreana y la nacionalidad por ellos fueron la mas cruel tortura espiritual para la nacion coreana.
    　El pueblo coreano no olvidara jamas los crimenes anegados de sangre de los imperialistas japoneses que tras ocupar militarmente a Corea y actuaron desesperadamente para suprimirla.
    　No perdonaremos jamas los crimenes de los imperialistas japoneses que ofrecieron a las tropas norteamericanas todo su territorio como base logistica, de reparacion y partida y se incorporaron activamente a las maniobras yanquis de guerra de agresion a la RPDC, siendo complices peligrosos de las maniobras norteamericanas de agresion y de aislamiento y aplastamiento a ella encaminadas a ocupar toda Corea. 　Los agresores norteamericanos y japoneses son los enemigos jurados que historicamente acarrearon al pueblo coreano toda clase de desdichas y penalidades. 　Todos los coreanos del Norte, el Sur y en ultramar deben levantarse unanimemente en la lucha antiyanqui y antijaponesa para ajustar cuenta de la historia criminal de los imperialistas japoneses que bajo el amparo de EE.UU. establecieron el "gobierno general" de caracter colonial y violaron despiadadamente la soberania de la nacion coreana.
