Mammoth Anti-U.S. Rally Held

    yongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Hundreds of thousands of Pyongyangites from all walks of life met at Kim Il Sung Square Sunday on the occasion of "June 25, the day of the struggle against U.S. imperialism". Present there were Pak Pong Ju, Choe Thae Bok, Yang Hyong Sop and other cadres and working people and youth and students in the city.
    Pang Chol Gap, chairman of the Pyongyang City People's Committee, took the floor first. He said:
    On June 25, 1950 the U.S. imperialists launched an all-out armed invasion to destroy the young DPRK and realize their ambition for world supremacy. But they had to sign the Korean Armistice Agreement, yielding to the army and people of the DPRK.
    The U.S. has persistently pursued its hostile policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK and provoke another war against it, keeping south Korea under its military occupation for more than 50 years after the war, far from drawing a proper lesson from the shameful defeat it suffered in the last Korean war.
    The U.S. reckless and dangerous war moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK have created such a grave situation on the Korean Peninsula that a war may break out any moment.
    What should not be overlooked is that the U.S. is going to start large-scale joint military exercises in the waters of the Pacific from June 25, the day it provoked the Korean war in the last century.
    "RIMPAC-2006" the U.S. and its followers have launched with huge troops and latest war means involved are dangerous maneuvers for a war of aggression targeted against the DPRK under the pretext of "ensuring security" in sea routes and "jointly combating terrorism."
    The U.S. is seriously mistaken if it thinks it can bring the Korean people firmly defending socialism of Juche under the banner of Songun to their knees and realize its ambition for domination and aggression by dint of its high-handed and arbitrary practices and force.
    The army and people of the DPRK will closely follow every U.S. move with a high degree of revolutionary vigilance.
    Should the U.S. imperialists ignite another war of aggression on this land, we will mobilize all the political and ideological might and military potentials built up generation after generation under the guidance of the great Songun brilliant commander and mercilessly wipe out the enemies and victoriously conclude their stand-off with the U.S.
    Representatives of different social standings, speaking at the meeting, said that now is the time for us to conclude our stand-off with the U.S., adding that should the U.S. ignite another war of aggression oblivious of lesson taught by the last Korean war, the Korean people would wipe out the aggressors to the last man with tremendous war deterrence and uproot the cause of war from this land.
    Poem "We will Settle Accounts" was recited at the rally.
    The poem reflects the solemn declaration of the army and people of Songun Korea that should the U.S. imperialists use nukes against the Korean nation, they will make hundreds of times stronger nuclear strike at them and thus inflict final destruction upon the aggressors.
    The participants staged a mammoth anti-U.S. demonstration, chanting slogans "We vehemently denounce the U.S. imperialists' monstrous crimes against the Korean nation!", "The U.S. imperialist aggressors, quit south Korea at once" etc.

Polish Figure Praises Songun Politics

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Martin Adam, chairman of the National Executive Committee of the Polish Communist Party, released a statement on June 17 on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. He referred to the fact that the DPRK has waged a dynamic struggle for building a great prosperous powerful nation, resolutely smashing all sorts of the U.S. moves to isolate and stifle it with the great Songun politics.
    He said that the original Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il has provided a sure guarantee for foiling the moves of the U.S. imperialists for aggression, vigorously stepping up socialist construction and achieving the reunification of the country and peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and, furthermore, preserving global peace and stability.
    The indomitable spirit with which the Korean people have won one victory after another despite the persistent pressure and blockade of the U.S. imperialists gives great inspiration and courage to the world people and serves as a good example in fighting against them.

Korean People's Cause Supported in Britain

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- The Fifth Meeting of the Anti-War Alliance was held in London on June 10 with figures of mass organizations including political parties, anti-war peace movement organizations and labor unions of Britain attending. It supported the just cause of the Korean people and bitterly denounced the evermore undisguised U. S. hostile policy toward the DPRK. Participants of the round-table talks on the Korean issue introduced the Korean people's struggle to prevent a war and ensure peace on the Korean Peninsula and the principled stand of the DPRK government on the six-party talks and expressed full support to them.
    They stressed the need to pay due attention to the developments on the Korean Peninsula and positively support the Korean people in their struggle to achieve the independent reunification of the country by themselves free from the interference of foreign forces. They expressed the conviction that Korea is sure to be reunified independently and peacefully.
    The chairmen of the Anti-War Alliance and the Anti-Nuke Movement in Britain and other speakers, addressing the meeting, vehemently denounced the Bush administration's hostile policy toward the DPRK. The danger of nuclear war comes from the United States, not from Korea, they said, demanding the U.S. stop at once the reckless moves to stifle the DPRK.

S. Korean Elders of Reunification Movement Join Hunger Striker

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Elders of the reunification movement of south Korea on June 21 joined Mun Jong Hyon, permanent co-representative of the All-People Measure Committee for Checking the Expansion of the U.S. Military Base in Phyongthaek, in the sit-in hunger strike in front of the Chongwadae that has been under way for the last 16 consecutive days, according to a press report. Prior to the strike, they held a press conference.
    Speakers at the press conference held that the "government" meet as early as possible the demands raised by Mun Jong Hyon such as the release of those arrested for their involvement in the Phyongthaek incident, the withdrawal of the military and police forces from Taechu-ri and Todu-ri and an early guarantee of conditions for farming to inhabitants in Phaengsong.
    At the end of the press conference they entered into a sit-in hunger strike.

Korean Youth and Students Condemn U.S. Imperialist Man-Killers

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Youth and students met before the U.S. imperialists' armed spy ship "Pueblo" displayed on the River Taedong on June 24 to vow to take revenge upon the U.S. aggressors on the occasion of the "June 25, the day of the struggle against U.S. imperialism". Kim Kyong Ho, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, on the behalf of the eight million youth and students bitterly condemned the U.S. imperialists, the sworn enemy, who unleashed the unprecedentedly barbarous war to destroy the young DPRK 56 years ago, bringing unspeakable disasters to the inviolable territory of Korea and its people.
    The Korean youth and students will surely force the U.S. imperialists to pay for the blood shed by the Korean people from generation to generation and mercilessly punish the aggressors and man-killers, he stressed.
    At the meeting lecturers of the Central Hall of Class Education and the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum exposed the brutality and barbarity of the Yankees who ignited the war of aggression on this land and committed massacres and destruction unprecedented in the human history of war, while watching for an opportunity to invade Korea for more than a century.
    Then schoolchildren recited a poem vowing vengeance under the title "We'll Settle Accounts with the U.S. without Fail." Then followed speeches by school children and war veterans.
    Present at the meeting was Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Passage of Anti-DPRK Bill through Japanese Diet Assailed

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries recently passed the bill on north Korean human rights calling for applying economic sanctions against the DPRK through the Diet, pulling it up over its "abduction issue." Commenting on this, Minju Joson Sunday says:
    The independent national economy in the DPRK is not such a weak one to be affected or shaken by sanctions from other countries. What matters here is that the DPRK-Japan relations are at the lowest ebb due to the Japanese reactionaries' irresponsible attitude.
    A starting point in solving the issue between the DPRK and Japan is for the latter, an assailant, to apologize and compensate to the Koreans, the biggest victims, for the hideous crimes committed against them in the past.
    The Japanese reactionaries are distorting the reality, asserting that the issue of bilateral relations has not been settled due to the "abduction issue".
    They are hyping the "abduction issue" in the process to solve the relations between the DPRK and Japan in a bid to evade apology and compensation for the crimes it committed in the past.
    Their far-fetched refusal to pay for the huge debts they owe to the Koreans indicates that they have no willingness to improve the bilateral relations.
    The Japanese reactionaries hope to see worsened DPRK-Japan relations as they seek to evade their commitment to settle their past crimes. That's why they have deliberately bedeviled the relations with the DPRK, zealously supporting the U.S. hostile policy toward it.
    Japan is chiefly to blame for having pushed the DPRK-Japan relations to the worst phase. It goes without saying, therefore, that Japan will have to be held fully accountable for all the ensuing consequences.

Papers Warn U.S. Not to Forget Bitter Lesson Taught by Korean War

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- 56 years have passed since the U.S. imperialists' provocation of a war of aggression against the DPRK (June 25, 1950). In this regard papers Sunday carry editorials.
    Rodong Sinmun in its editorial says that the last Korean war was a war of aggression and a war of massacre of civilians as the U.S. imperialists committed indiscriminate killings and destruction unprecedented in the world history of war by mobilizing their aggression troops, the south Korean army and the armed forces of their 15 satellite countries to destroy the young DPRK.
    The historic victory won by the army and people of the DPRK in the last Fatherland Liberation War was a brilliant victory of the outstanding military thought, strategy and tactics, Juche-oriented war methods and commanding art of President Kim Il Sung, the editorial says, and continues:
    More than half a century has passed since the U.S. imperialists signed the Korean Armistice Agreement, holding a white flag.
    But the U.S. has persistently sought to perpetuate the division of Korea and provoke another war of aggression against the DPRK for such a long period, increasing its military presence in south Korea. Quite contrary to the Armistice Agreement, the U.S. imperialists have turned south Korea into the biggest military base, a nuclear arsenal in Far East through the systematic arms buildup, posing ceaseless threat to the DPRK through their reckless military provocations.
    The U.S. remains unchanged even in the new century in its Korea strategy to invade the whole of Korea and establish its supremacy over Northeast Asia with the Korean Peninsula as a springboard.
    All the servicepersons of the Korean People's Army and people should firmly equip themselves with the Songun idea of the Workers' Party of Korea, remain true to the Songun politics of the WPK and consolidate the single-minded unity in every way under the army-first banner.
    All the Koreans should turn out in the patriotic movement for peace against war and conduct a more vigorous struggle to achieve the independent reunification under the banner of "By our nation itself".
    If the U.S. imperialists ignite a war again, oblivious of the lesson drawn from their defeat in the last Korean war, the army and people of the DPRK will give full play to the might of the Songun and vent the pent-up grudge against the enemy and thus mercilessly wipe out the aggressors and victoriously conclude its stand-off with the U.S.
    Minju Joson in its editorial warns that the anachronistic hostile policy of the U.S. toward the DPRK and its moves to provoke a war against it will bring nothing but shame and defeat.

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- A rally took place at Kim Il Sung Square Sunday afternoon on the occasion of "June 25, the day of the struggle against U.S. imperialism" with hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life attending.

    Their hatred for the U.S. imperialists and resolution to avenge and wipe out the enemy ran higher than ever before because the U.S. fixed June 25, the day it started the Korean war in the last century, as the day for launching the joint military exercise "RIMPAC-2006" targeted against the DPRK.
    Representatives of Pyongyangites of all social standings including Pang Chol Gap, chairman of the Pyongyang City People's Committee, in their speeches reiterated the firm stand of the army and people of the DPRK that should the U.S. imperialists ignite another war of aggression on this land, they will mobilize all the political and ideological might and military potentials built up generation after generation under the guidance of the great Songun brilliant commander and mercilessly wipe out the enemies and victoriously conclude their stand-off with the U.S.

Anniversary of Kim Il Sung's Work Observed

    Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- It is 60 years since the promulgation of the historic "Labour Law for the Workers and Office Employees in North Korea" by President Kim Il Sung on June 24, Juche 35 (1946). Many labor policies and ordinances have been in force to meet the interests of the popular masses in every period and at each stage of the revolution and construction. Labor policies were put into force in the period of building a new country including the decision of the Cabinet on raising the living allowances of workers adopted on Dec. 27, Juche 38 (1949). This stirred up the enthusiasm and creative energy of the working people who became the master of the country.
    In Juche 40 (1951) when the Korean War was at its height, the state took a measure to reconstruct the destroyed sanatoria and rest homes to provide the working people with recuperation. As a result, the number of those who recuperated at sanatoria and rest homes increased 7.5 times in the following year.
    On Sept. 30, Juche 41 (1952), the Cabinet adopted a decision to increase the food supply to workers, technicians and office employees and their families. According to the decision, additional food was supplied to them at a very cheap price beside the regular food supply from Oct. 1 of the same year. Measures were taken to bring the living of the working people to normal. For example, workers, technicians and office employees were provided with more than 300,000 padded clothes, at least 900,000 pairs of leather shoes and 1,600,000 meters of cotton textiles in the year.
    Thanks to the decision of the Cabinet on providing free medical care adopted on Jan. 1, Juche 42 (1953), a universal free health care system took effect for the first time in the nation's history.
    The postwar period witnessed the adoption of the Cabinet decision on introducing the system of paying additional wages (Feb. 23, 1954), its decision on promoting the medical service for the workers, technicians and office employees (June 23, 1954), its decision to cut down the work hours of nursing mothers (Oct. 10, 1966) and other decisions to improve the standard of the material and cultural living of the workers, technicians and office employees.
    The popular policies of the Workers' Party of Korea and the state which regard it as a supreme principle to meet the interests of the working masses found a clear manifestation in a lot of ordinances including the ordinance of the Supreme People's Assembly on totally abolishing the taxation system promulgated on Mar. 21, 1974.
    A particular mention should be made of the institution and promulgation of the Socialist Labor Law, the original charter of labor which indicates the way of finally settling the labor issue, on April 18, Juche 67 (1978).
    In Juche 81 (1992) the state took a measure of raising the living allowances of the workers, technicians and office employees by 43.4 percent on an average and the old-age pension by 50.7 percent on an average on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Kim Il Sung.
    Labor policies were enforced at a higher level also in the period of the "Arduous March" and the forced march, the most difficult period for the country, to promote the welfare of people and provide them with conditions for worthwhile and highly civilized labor.

Labor Law Provides Genuine Working Life to People

    Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- Sixty years have passed since the "Labor Law for the Workers and Office Employees in North Korea" was established and promulgated on June 24, Juche 35 (1946). The labor law has served as most democratic enactment that defends the interests of the Korean people and provides them with independent and creative working life.
    It institutes introduction of an eight-hour day for factory and office workers, rights to enough rest, labor protection system, a compulsory social insurance scheme, a new position of labor and so on.
    It, the first of its kind in the Korean history, was created by President Kim Il Sung, who had devoted his all to creation of a genuine working life for the Korean people from his early years of revolutionary activities.
    He, during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, established the people's revolutionary government at the guerrilla zone on the shore of the River Tuman to put into effect democratic policies, giving a creative working life condition to the people there.
    Basing himself on this, he issued a famous work "Ten-Point Programme of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland" in May 1936 in which a revolutionary labor program was expounded.
    He, who gained a revolutionary labor program and experience of solving the issue of working life during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, clarified the working life of the Korean people in the liberated fatherland through the famous work "Twenty-Point Platform" issued in March 1946. And in June that year he promulgated the labor law to legally ensure the democratic working life.
    Thanks to the meticulous care of the President, all labor protection measures were taken, social insurance and social security systems put into force and recreation and rest homes built in different parts of the country at state expense under the difficult conditions of building a new country.
    In April 1978, "The Socialist Labour Law of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" was instituted and promulgated to suit the requirement of the developing reality, thus firmly ensuring the working life of the Korean people by law.

    En particular, al sistematizar los exitos y las experiencias logrados en el proceso de ejecucion de la ley arriba mencionada, el Presidente establecio la Ley del Trabajo Socialista conforme a la demanda del desarrollo de la revolucion para la construccion general del socialismo. Esta Ley constituye el codigo laboral autoctono que define globalmente todas las demandas y reglas de la vida laboral socialista adhiriendose al principio de poner en un plano supremo la posicion y el papel de las masas trabajadoras y de defender mas estrictamente los derechos e intereses de estas en el dominio de la vida laboral y es la original carta del trabajo que indica claramente el camino de la solucion final del problema laboral.
    El Dirigente Kim Jong Il atribuyo gran significado al fortalecimiento de la administracion del trabajo en la consolidacion del sistema de trabajo socialista e ilumino de manera integral las tareas y medios para mejorarla aun mas conforme a la realidad en desarrollo.
    Hizo convertir con firmeza la administracion del trabajo en la labor politica para con las personas conforme a la demanda intrinseca de la sociedad socialista, realizar con acierto la administracion de mano de obra y la organizacion del trabajo para que todos los trabajadores trabajen con sinceridad para la sociedad y la colectividad e implantar con exactitud el sistema de renumeracion del trabajo socialista combinando correctamente el incentivo politico-moral y el estimulo material, pero tomando el primero por lo principal. De esta manera, dirigio sabiamente para hacer del proceso laboral uno de creacion de innovaciones y proezas, uno de la formacion de personas de tipo jucheano y uno de fortalecimiento de la base colectivista de la sociedad coreana.
    En el proceso de desarrollo incesante del regimen del trabajo socialista se lograron grandes cambios en la vida laboral y posicion social de los trabajadores coreanos.
