Implanting Militarism in Japan Denounced

.    Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- Papers Tuesday carry signed commentaries denouncing the intensified drive in Japan to inculcate the militarist idea of aggression into people's mind through the visit to the "Yasukuni Shrine". Ninety-six lawmakers of Japan affiliated with the "Meeting of Dietmen to Make All Visit Yasukuni Shrine" went to the shrine in group. When Asian countries voiced protest to this, the Japanese reactionaries tried to justify it, throwing together the balderdash that this is "an interference in internal affairs" and only some countries strain their nerves while others remain silent. .
    Branding this as a manifestation of militarist self-righteousness and aggressive psychology, the Rodong Sinmun analyst says: .
    What the Japanese ruling quarters seek in the visit to the "Yasukuni Shrine" is to indoctrinate the Japanese people in militarist idea so they may carry forward the "will" of the forefathers who engaged themselves in aggression and war. .
    The Japanese reactionaries are going to great pains to din the militarist idea of aggression into the ears of the Japanese people, particularly the younger generation, through the visit to the shrine. .
    The Asian people, who suffered shocking misfortunes and pains at the hands of the Japanese imperialists in the past, hope that such blood-stained history will not be repeated. That is the root cause of the opposition of Asian countries to the Japanese ruling quarters' visit to the shrine. .
    Nevertheless, the Japanese militarists zealously support the visit of the chief executive to the shrine and go to it in group, complaining of the just demand of Asian countries. Their visit to the shrine is intended to lay an ideological foundation for reinvasion. But they are seriously mistaken. They will pay dearly, if they persist in the visit to the shrine and race headlong to reinvasion, averting their eyes from the change of the times. .
    Minju Joson brands the recent visit to the "Yasukuni Shrine" by the Japanese reactionaries in group as a downright challenge to justice and human conscience and warns them not to act on impulse.

Authorities' Land Expropriation Slammed in S. Korea

.    Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- Public organizations in south Korea reportedly issued statements on May 4 condemning the Defence Ministry and the police authorities for their expropriation of the land for the expansion of the U.S. military base in Phyongthaek. Among the organizations were the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration, the Reunification Solidarity, the Federation of south Korean Trade Unions and the Federation of Peasants Associations.

In the statements the organizations declared that they would intensify the struggle until the plan for the expansion of the U.S. military base is cancelled. .
    In the meantime, people of different circles, enraged at the Defence Ministry's and the police authorities' submission to the U.S., staged fierce struggles against the expropriation of the land for the expansion of the U.S. military base on M

Anniversary of Victory in Great Patriotic War Observed

.    Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- The Korean people extend warm congratulations and friendly greetings to the Russian people on the 61st anniversary of their victory in the Great Patriotic War and sincerely wish them a rosier future, observes Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a signed article. The existence of Russia, progress made by it and its dignity and honor would have been unthinkable without the shining victory won in the Patriotic War against the armed invasion of fascist Germany, the article notes, and goes on: .
    The war fought by the Soviet people taught the following important lessons: The first is that it is impossible for a country to win a war, much less defending sovereignty, security and peace of the country, unless it has powerful strength. The second is that a country should not harbor any illusion about the aggression forces' clarion rhetoric about "peace" but build up powerful military force by tightening its belt in order to win a victory of justice over injustice and that of peace over war. .
    Much water has flown under the bridge since the war between the Soviet Union and fascist Germany. But there still remains on earth the outdated force of imperialism and the danger of aggression and war still hovers. U.S. imperialism, the ringleader of imperialism, is unhesitatingly committing aggression of sovereign countries under the pretext of "combating terrorism" to realize its ambition to put the world under its domination. .
    The prevailing situation requires the countries aspiring after independence and peace to bolster their military muscle to avert a war and defend their sovereignty and security.

Periodicos critican la visita al "santuario Yasukuni" en Japon

   　Pyongyang, 9 de mayo (ATCC) -- Los periodicos capitalinos insertaron en sus numeros del dia 9 comentarios individuales denunciando a los reaccionarios japoneses que se entregan enloquecidamente a inculcar en sus habitantes la idea de agresion militarista por medio de la visita al "santuario Yasukuni". 　A los paises asiaticos que protestan la visita colectiva de 96 parlamentarios miembros de la "Reunion de parlamentarios de 'visitar todos al santuario Yasukuni'", ellos les responden con absurdas justificaciones tales como que "cometen actos intervencionistas" y se ponen nerviosos sobremanera si otros paises se mantienen callados al respecto. .
    　Estas palabras parten del unilateralismo militarista y la conciencia agresiva de Japon, precisa el diario Rodong Sinmun y prosigue: .
    　Con la visita al santuario Yasukuni, los gobernantes japoneses pretenden inculcar en sus habitantes, especialmente en los integrantes de nuevas generaciones, la idea de agresion militarista para que estos continuen materializando el "proposito" de sus antecesores que se dedicaban en el pasado solo a la agresion y la guerra. .
    　Los pueblos asiaticos, que sufrieron indecibles desdichas y penalidades por los imperialistas japoneses, no desean la reedicion de esa sangrienta historia, por lo cual rechazan de forma categorica esa problematica visita. .
    　A pesar de esto, los militaristas japoneses apoyan activamente la visita de su mandatario al "Yasukuni" reprochando la justa demanda de los paises asiaticos sobre su cese. .
    　En fin de cuentas, tratan de echar de esta manera una base ideologica para la nueva agresion. .
    　Pero, estan muy equivocados porque lo pagaran muy caro si siguen maniobrando para retomar el camino de agresion en contra de la corriente de la epoca. .
    　En tanto, el periodico Minju Joson subraya que la reciente visita en bandada al "Yasukuni" de los reaccionarios japoneses deviene un desafio frontal a la justicia y la conciencia de la humanidad y les exige que se porten con prudencia.
