National Meeting of Activists of UAWK Held

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- A national meeting of activists of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea (UAWK) took place at the People's Palace of Culture on Feb. 7. The meeting reviewed the successes and experience gained in the work of the UAWK under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il in the last period and discussed the tasks and ways of consolidating the UAWK organizations and preparing its members as patriotic farmers in the era of Songun.
    It was attended by Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the C.C., the Workers' Party of Korea, officials concerned and officials of UAWK organizations in Pyongyang and provinces, cities and counties as well as activists of the UAWK.
    Its participants first listened to the recorded speech "On the Main Tasks of the Union of Agricultural Working People" made by President Kim Il Sung on Feb. 16, Juche 61 (1972) at the Second Congress of the Union.
    Then a report was made by Kang Chang Uk, chairman of the C.C., the UAWK. The reporter said that the UAWK organizations regarded it as the most important work of the UAWK to closely rally their members around Kim Jong Il and defend the headquarters of the revolution politically and ideologically and with lives in conformity with the mission and duty as a transmission belt and a body for ideological education of the WPK and has bent great efforts on it.
    Another success registered in the work of the UAWK is that it has mobilized all the agricultural workers to implement the WPK's policy of the agricultural revolution and contribute to accelerating the building of the socialist countryside, he said. He underlined the need to develop all the organizations of the UAWK into the revolutionary ranks of Songun capable of contributing to the socialist rural construction and the accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche, taking the Songun idea and the undying feats of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il as their life and soul and a source of strength.

S. Korean Authorities' Projected War Exercises under Fire

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- Some days ago, the minister of Defence of south Korea at a regular press conference blustered that it would go ahead as planned with all the exercises scheduled for this year as well as the joint military exercises with the U.S. due in upcoming March, talking about "training" and strong army" at a time when the hard-won north-south military authorities' talks are at hand. Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Wednesday terms this an anti-national and anti-reunification outburst intended to drive the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of a war in collusion with outsiders and thus bedevil the north-south relations and overturn the June 15 joint declaration.
    The news analyst goes on:
    All the joint military exercises the south Korean warmongers had staged in south Korea with the U.S. imperialist aggression troops since the 1970s were without exception preliminary wars and test nuclear wars to invade the DPRK from A to Z in view of their nature, scale and programs.
    The south Korean authorities are threatening to hold the war exercises to invade the north with outsiders this year too, with the inter-Korean military authorities' talks at hand. This is a challenge to the dialogue partner and a mockery of it. Dialogue can never go together with war exercises. The south Korean authorities' announcement of their plan to stage those war exercises against the north goes to prove that "dialogue", "reconciliation," "building of military confidence" and "detente" much touted by them are nothing but rhetoric to deceive the public opinion. It is an intolerable anti-national and anti-reunification criminal act for them to join the outsiders in their war maneuvers aimed at seriously threatening the destiny of the nation even in the June 15 era of reunification when the idea of "By our nation itself" dominates the movement for independent reunification and the national cooperation has become the trend of the times.
    The south Korean authorities should clarify before the entire nation whether they stand for reconciliation and cooperation or for confrontation and war.

Japan Urged to Settle Past Crimes

     Pyongyang February 8 (KCNA) -- Japan should clearly understand the Korean's indignation at it and their resolution and liquidate its past crimes as early as possible, urges Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article. Japan is a criminal state that perpetrated aggression and plunder against Korea for a long period and inflicted the fate of a colonial slave upon the Koreans, the article says, and goes on:
    The nearly half a century-long harsh colonial rule of the Japanese imperialists over Korea was characterized by the hideous moves to exterminate the Korean nation. The most hideous crime committed by Japan in the past was that it killed Koreans in a brutal manner.
    The Japanese imperialist ogres massacred more than one million Koreans. During their colonial rule over Korea, the Japanese imperialists forcibly drafted or kidnapped more than 8.4 million young and middle-aged Koreans and forced them to do medieval slave labor or used them as cannon fodder in their wars. The most horrendous crime committed by the Japanese imperialists against humanity was that they forced 200,000 Korean women into sexual slavery. They indiscriminately vandalized or looted valuable cultural treasures of Korea in a bid to stamp out the time-honored history and advantages of the Korean nation and root out its soul. They deprived the Koreans of even their written and spoken languages and their names and tried to remove national custom peculiar to the Koreans and looted huge natural treasures and products of Korea lock, stock and barrel. The Japanese imperialists are the sworn enemy of the Koreans as they inflicted incurable wounds on the Koreans, the article says, stressing that all the crimes the Japanese imperialists committed in the past are still fresh in the memory of the Koreans, who are firmly determined to certainly force Japan to pay for those crimes.

Bush's Reckless Remarks Blasted in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- The Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration in south Korea reportedly issued a statement on Feb. 1 blasting the reckless remarks of U.S. President Bush. The statement accused Bush of terming the north "undemocratic state" in his state of the union address made on Jan. 31 when referring to "freedom" and "democracy." The United States is a disturber of world peace, an outpost of tyranny and a criminal state that has driven humankind into instability and horror with its unjust war of aggression, the statement noted.
    Assailing Bush for making accusations against the north again out of his inveterate bitterness toward the north and consciousness of confrontation, the statement said this is little short of overturning the joint statement adopted at the fourth round of the six-party talks.

Nationwide Struggle to Defend Peace Called for

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- The present tense situation on the Korean Peninsula where the danger of a new war is growing as the days go by requires all the Koreans at home and abroad to turn out as one in the struggle to protect peace from war, observes Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article. It is a very crucial issue related to the destiny of the Korean nation to oppose aggression and war and defend peace, the article says, and goes on: The Koreans in the north and the south have been exposed to the constant threat of war of aggression from the U.S. The U.S. imperialists have threatened peace and security and escalated the war crisis on the Korean Peninsula through ceaseless military provocations and escalation of tensions after occupying south Korea by force and reducing it to a dangerous nuclear forward base.
    The U.S. imperialists' criminal moves to realize their hostile ambition to seize the DPRK have assumed dangerous nature all the times but they have become all the more reckless over the nuclear issue.
    The Bush administration is set to settle the nuclear issue by force despite its lip-service to the six-party talks.
    The south Korean military, too, is actively supporting the U.S. imperialists' adventurous moves for a war of aggression against the north. They are putting spurs to the development and introduction of F-15K fighters, early warning planes, tanks, armored vehicles, large landing craft, submarines and other war equipment, talking about "independent capability to fight a war" and "deterrent to counter the north". It is also a very disturbing development that the military is readjusting and reorganizing its forces' overall operation commanding system. By backing the U.S.-proposed "strategic flexibility" and "PSI" of its forces in south Korea, in particular, the south Korean authorities are hamstringing the efforts to warm up the inter-Korean relations and sparking a dangerous situation that may lead to an armed conflict any moment in and around the peninsula.
    Neither peace nor the peaceful reunification of Korea is thinkable without a resolute struggle against the moves for aggression and war on the peninsula. Peace can be won only through a sustained nationwide struggle to protect peace from aggression and war.

Chairman of 14th-term Hanchongryon Elected

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- Hanchongryon (the south Korean Federation of University Student Councils) reportedly held an extraordinary meeting of deputies to Hanchongryon at Yonsei University on Feb. 5 at which Jang Song Hoe, chairman of the General Student Council of Chonnam National University, was elected chairman of the 14th-term Hanchongryon. The inaugural declaration of the 14th-term Hanchongryon noted that it would stage a vigorous struggle for resolutely checking the U.S. moves for permanent division of Korea and the building of a "great alliance of New Rights" and the attempt to set up a pro-American "government" in south Korea, and take the lead in the patriotic movement for independent reunification, peace against war and overall national unity. Action programs of the 14th-term Hanchongryon were announced at the meeting. Then followed the inaugural ceremony of the 14th-term Hanchongryon. An "evening for the legalization of Hanchongryon" took place in the same venue on the evening of Feb. 4.

Japan's Unjust Discrimination against Chongryon Blasted

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries have become frantic in their moves to suppress and discriminate the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) over the issue of exempting the Korean Hall in Kumamoto, Japan, a facility related to Chongryon, from the tax payment. This hall has been widely used as a place not only for a series of cultural activities to defend the rights of the Koreans in Japan and their life and improve their social and cultural attainments and support the aged but also for economic and cultural exchange to develop the DPRK-Japan friendly relations. For this reason its public nature has been recognized for the last several decades and it has been exempted from the payment of some taxes including the property tax.
    Nevertheless, an ultra-right wing organization of the city brought this case of tax exemption to the court of the city, asserting that it was an illegal measure. Last year the court turned down the case at the first hearing, claiming that the hall was of public nature and its tax exemption was not against the law in view of its users, its facilities and their management and its service, etc.
    But the Fukuoka High Court at a trial on an appeal held on Feb. 2 overturned the judgment made at the first trial by ruling that the hall's tax exemption be canceled. It is the first time the Japanese judicial authorities ruled that the tax exemption of the facility related to Chongryon was illegal, denying its public nature. The Information Office of the Central Standing Committee of Chongryon dismissed the judgment made by the high court as an unjust one as it stokes discrimination against Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan.

Prejudice and Discrimination against Chongryon Assailed

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- Ko Tok U, vice-chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and director of the Department for Compatriots' Welfare, issued a statement on Feb. 3 to denounce the Japanese judicial authorities' unwarranted ruling over the exemption of the Kumamoto Korean Hall, a facility related to Chongryon, from tax payment. Accusing the Fukuoka High Court of its decision on Feb. 2 to cancel the exemption of the Kumamoto Korean Hall from paying taxes, the statement charged: The court disregarded the public nature of the hall, considering the defence of the interests and rights of the Koreans in Japan as something private. This is a discriminatory judgment in gross violation of the International Human Rights Rules and a very dangerous action to foster xenophobia in Japan.
    It went on:
    The Koreans in Japan are those who survived after being forcibly taken to Japan during the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule and their descendents. This inglorious past, therefore, should be settled at an early date and they should be granted a stable legal status. It is illogical to negate the public nature of the activities to protect the interests and rights of the Koreans in Japan despite these hard facts. The statement vehemently denounced the recent judgment as an unwarranted one against a fair legal point of view and an action intended to increase prejudice and discrimination against the DPRK and Chongryon.
    The judgment also goes against the trend of the times and the desire of the peoples of the two countries as it was made just before the start of the DPRK-Japan inter-governmental talks for the normalization of their relations, it said.

Electric Brush for Turbo Generator Developed

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- Scientists of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have recently developed a new kind of electric brush for turbo generator. Good are its quality and technical features. The brush, made with natural graphite abundant in the country as the principal component, is applicable to all turbine generators with generation power from one million kW to ten million kW.
    The maximum abrasion of the brush is 1.12 millimeters in anode and 0.58 millimeter in negative pole per 100 hours, thus extending the period of changing brushes. As its error scale of current distribution equality is below 25 percent in anode and below 10 percent in the negative pole at maximum, it not only prevents generators from being damaged by the brush but ensures their safety reliably.
    The brush is produced at the Sobaeksu United Corporation. It mass-produces not only brushes for turbine generators with different kinds of power output but also brushes for car motors and electric motors.

New Stamps Issued in DPRK

     Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- The Korea Stamp Corporation has issued a separate stamp and a sheetlet reflecting plants growing in Mt. Paektu area on the occasion of the auspicious February holiday, the birthday of leader Kim Jong Il. Thousands of species of plants grow in the area of Mt. Paektu, the sacred mountain of revolution.
    Among them are many rare plants indigenous to alpine areas. Printed on the stamps are words "Celebration of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il's Birthday", "Juche 31(1942)-Juche 95(2006)" and "February 16". The separate stamp shows a scenic view of the Mt. Paektu area where various flowers are in full bloom with the peak on which the words "Jong Il Peak" are carved out as its background.
    The sheetlet reflects four species of alpine plants including Polemonium racemosum, morning-star lily and dandelion growing in the Jong Il Peak area. The face value of the separate stamp is 3 won and those of the stamps in the sheetlet are 12, 45, 100 and 140 won respectively.

For Spanish-speaking people

Desafio a la contraparte del dialogo

    　Pyongyang, 8 de febrero (ATCC) -- En una rueda de prensa regular ofrecida en visperas de las conversaciones de autoridades castrenses Norte-Sur, el ministro surcoreano de "Defensa Nacional" hablando de algun "entrenamiento" y de "ejercito poderoso" expreso la voluntad de efectuar como lo programado el ejercicio militar conjunto con EE.UU. que va a efectuarse en marzo que viene y todos los demas simulacros planeados para este ano. Es una peroracion antinacional y anti-reunificacion para llevar la situacion de la Peninsula Coreana al borde de la guerra, en coalicion con las fuerzas extranjeras, empeorar las relaciones Norte-Sur y anular la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio. Senala asi el rotativo Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 8 y prosigue:
    Todos los ejercicios militares conjuntos desarrollados desde la decada de 70 del siglo pasado por los belicistas surcoreanos y las tropas agresoras norteamericanas en el suelo surcoreano, en su naturaleza, dimension y contenido, fueron sin excepcion la guerra preliminar y de ensayo nuclear para agredir a la RPDC.
    Su peroracion es un desafio y burla a la contraparte del dialogo. 　El dialogo y los ejercicios belicos son incompatibles. La declaracion abierta de las autoridades surcoreanas de desplegar junto con las fuerzas foraneas el simulacro contra la RPDC demuestra que el "dialogo", la "reconciliacion", la "creacion de la confianza militar" y la "distension" de que hablaban ellas mismas no pasan de ser una artimana para enganar la opinion publica.
    En la epoca de reunificacion del 15 de junio, el ideal de "entre nosotros, los connacionales" predomina el movimiento por la reunificacion independiente y la cooperacion nacional constituye una tendencia general. Por eso, la intencion de las autoridades surcoreanas de desarrollar con las fuerzas foraneas los ejercicios de guerra que amenazan el destino de la nacion deviene un intolerable proceder antinacional y anti-reunificacion.
    Las autoridades surcoreanas deben patentizar ante toda la nacion su posicion de que desean entre las dos: la reconciliacion y cooperacion y la confrontacion y guerra.

La paz puede ser preservada solo con resuelta lucha

    　Pyongyang, 8 de febrero (ATCC) -- La tensa situacion de hoy, en que se agranda de dia en dia el peligro de una nueva guerra en la Peninsula Coreana, demanda que todos los coreanos del Norte, el Sur y en ultramar se incorporen unanimemente a la lucha por la preservacion de la paz contra la guerra. 　Preservar la paz contra la agresion y la guerra deviene un problema de suma importancia relacionado con el destino de la nacion coreana.
    　Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual del dia 8 y prosigue: 　Los coreanos del Norte y el Sur viven bajo la permanente amenaza de la guerra de agresion de EE.UU. Este imperio ocupo militarmente el Sur de Corea y lo convirtio en una peligrosa base avanzada nuclear mientras perturbo la paz y la seguridad y agrando el peligro de la guerra en esta peninsula con ininterrumpidas provocaciones militares y maniobras de agravacion de la tension. Los tejemanejes criminales de los yanquis para realizar su ambicion de agresion a la RPDC eran peligrosos y ahora se tornan mas temerarios por el problema nuclear.
    　La administracion Bush habla de las conversaciones a seis bandas, pero, practicamente se propone resolver con las fuerzas el problema nuclear. 　Las fuerzas militares del Sur de Corea tambien "se adhieren" activamente a las aventureras maniobras norteamericanas de guerra de agresion al Norte. Dan acicate al desarrollo e introduccion de los equipamientos belicos, entre otros, cazas "F-15K", Awacs, tanques, carros blindados, buques de desembarco y submarinos para proveer de la "capacidad de cumplimiento independiente de la guerra" y la "fuerza de detencion al Norte". Son muy insolitos el arreglo y la reorganizacion general del sistema de mando operacional del ejercito surcoreano. En particular las autoridades del Sur de Corea aplauden la "flexibilidad estrategica" de las tropas norteamericanas ocupantes del Sur de Corea y la "iniciativa de seguridad de proliferacion" de EE.UU. poniendo freno al desarrollo de sus relaciones con el Norte y creando la peligrosa situacion en que se pueda ocurrir a todo momento un choque armado en la Peninsula Coreana y su contorno. 　Al margen de la resuelta lucha contra las maniobras de agresion y guerra en esta Peninsula, no se puede pensar en la paz y la reunificacion pacifica del pais. Podemos lograr la paz solo con la lucha antibelica nacional y sostenida.
