Global Action for Putting End to U.S. Interference in Internal Affairs of Other Countries Called for

    Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- The United States is disclosing its ugly colors as the chieftain of aggression and interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Rodong Sinmun today observes in a signed article in this regard:
    The U.S. regards its interference in the internal affairs of other countries as an important lever for establishing its order for the world domination. It forces other countries to accept freedom and democracy of American style and puts political and economic pressure upon those countries failing to comply with its demand or unhesitatingly resorts to even military aggression against them.
    The U.S. leaves no means untried. It drives a wedge among various nations, tribes and religious sects to set them against one another and spark political, ethnic and religious disputes. Then it meddles in them under the pretexts of "mediation" and "settlement" to fish in troubled waters.
    The U.S. releases a "report on human rights" each year to pull up other countries over their human rights issues and openly interferes in elections taking place in different countries.
    Its interference in the internal affairs of other countries is seriously infringing upon their sovereignty, obstructing the healthy development of nations, gravely violating the principles of justice and impartiality in resolving international issues and posing a big threat to the peace and security of the world.
    The reality proves that to shatter the U.S. interference in the internal affairs of other countries presents itself as a very important and urgent task of the times for ensuring the independent development of countries and world peace and security. Failure to stand firm against the above-said U.S. interference would make it more arrogant and high-handed.
    The world progressive countries and peoples should not tolerate the U.S. arrogant and brigandish meddling in the internal affairs of other countries but resolutely struggle against it. This interference can never work on those countries which set store by their sovereignty. The U.S. moves to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries are bound to fail if all countries take their sovereignty as their life and soul and resolutely struggle to defend it.
    All the countries advocating independence should see through the reactionary nature and danger of the above-mentioned U.S. interference and remain vigilant against it.

    Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- A lecture was given in Tanzania and film shows were held in Indonesia during the period from August 12 to 15 on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the liberation of Korea. The participants of the film shows watched Korean films including "The Country Taking on More Beautiful Looks under the Leadership of the Great General" and "55th Anniversary of Foundation of the DPRK."
    The chief of the Group for the Study of the Juche Idea of the Dar-Es-Salaam Friendship Textile Mill in the lecture given under the title "Kim Il Sung, Benefactor of Liberation of Korea" said that President Kim Il Sung embarked upon the road of revolution in his teens and led the arduous anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to liberate the country and save the destiny of the Korean nation.
    The President who brought about a great historic national event always lives in the hearts of the Korean nation as a benefactor of national resurrection and the sun of the Korean nation, he stressed.
    The general director of the Badja Machine Co. and the deputy director of the Rabitra Bahtera Pratama Co. of Indonesia said that the show of Korean films provided them with an opportunity to know well about the path of victory covered by the DPRK and the Korean people under the leadership of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and wished the Korean people bigger progress in the efforts to build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation and accomplish the cause of national reunification in the future.

Japanese Chief Executive's Visit to "Yasukuni Shrine" Denounced in S. Korea

    Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- The south Korean political camp denounced the Japanese chief executive's visit to the "Yasukuni Shrine" as a reckless act and an obvious diplomatic provocation aimed at the revival of militarism on August 15, according to south Korean MBC and KBS. That day the "Uri Party" demanded the Japanese government make an immediate apology for the Japanese chief executive's latest visit to the "Yasukuni Shrine", the "Democratic Party" urged the "government" to react to this from the toughest diplomatic stand and the Democratic Workers' Party called for uniting with the international peace forces to frustrate Japan's scheme to revive militarism.
    Meanwhile, the south Korean "Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade" in a statement of its spokesman held that the visit to the "shrine" was "something damaging not only the south Korea-Japan relations but the cooperative relations in Northeast Asia".
    On the same day, the "ministry" summoned the Japanese ambassador to Seoul to convey its will that it "expresses great disappointment and anger at the visit paid by the Japanese prime minister to the 'Yasukuni Shrine' despite the repeated requests made by the government to settle the problem".

U.S. War Moves under Fire in S. Korea

    Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- 22 civic and public organizations of south Korea including the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification, the South Headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification, the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration, the south Korean Federation of University Student Councils, the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Anti-U.S. Women's Society reportedly called a press conference in front of the U.S. embassy in Seoul on August 16 to denounce the south Korean and U.S. authorities for their war moves. A joint statement of all organizations in the south and the north and overseas assailing the south Korea-U.S. joint military exercises was read out at the press conference.
    The "Ulji Focus Lens" joint military exercises are to be staged at a time when the U.S. sanctions against the north are escalating, the statement noted, adding that this means the U.S. economic embargo against the north is going over to the phase of military attack and the south Korean authorities are zealously toeing the U.S. policy of war against the north.
    Urging the south Korean authorities to honestly implement the June 15 joint declaration in the idea of "By our nation itself", the statement declared that all the fellow countrymen in the south and the north and overseas would never tolerate the military provocations of the U.S. and its followers standing in the way of achieving independence, peace and reunification but fight against them.
    An action plan of civic and public organizations was made public at the press conference.

Rally Held in S. Korea to Condemn Conservative Media

    Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- The Reunification Solidarity, the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and the South Headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification (Pomchonghakryon), reportedly held a rally in Seoul on August 14 to condemn conservative media. Its participants accused Chosun Ilbo, Chungang Daily and Dong-A Ilbo of staging a frantic political coloring offensive against progressive forces including the "National Teachers Union", the KCTU and the South Headquarters of Pomchonghakryon.
    A resolution read out at the rally said that it was the unanimous desire of the Korean nation to put an end to the pain resulting from national division and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country. It blasted the conservative media for their desperate efforts to strain the inter-Korean relations in disregard of the desire of the nation.
    The Korean nation can never remain a passive onlooker to the moves of the conservative media persistently blocking the movement for the independence and reunification of the nation as "mouthpieces" of conservative forces after making a switchover from a pro-Japanese stand to pro-U.S. stand, the resolution noted, declaring that the above-said organizations would struggle to have the conservative newspapers closed and build a genuine new society, independent, democratic and reunified, on this land without fail.

    A special statement condemning Japan read out at the meeting branded the Japanese chief executive's flaunting visit to the shrine on August 15 as a blatant provocation to the Korean nation.

Present at the meeting were Harpal Brar, chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) who is chairman of the coordinating committee, and Andy Brooks, general secretary of the Central Committee of the New Communist Party of Britain, Ella Rule, international secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist), Michael Chant, secretary of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist), Keith Bennet, secretary general of the European Society for the Study of the Juche Idea, and Dermot Hudson, chairman of the British Association for the Study of Songun Policy, who are members of the coordinating committee.

U.S. Closure of Maehyang-ri Firing Range Termed Hypocritical

    Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- The measure taken by the U.S. forces in south Korea to close the firing range in Maehyang-ri clearly proved that it was nothing but hypocrisy and a mockery of the south Koreans who strongly demanded its closure, unable to endure any longer the misfortune imposed upon them. Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes this in a signed commentary carried in connection with the disclosure of the fact that the U.S. forces have conducted bomb-dropping exercises almost every day in the area of their firing range in Maehyang-ri, Hwasong County, Kyonggi Province, since last November, though its closure was formally announced a year ago. It goes on:
    The U.S. forces side was compelled to announce the above-said measure in face of the ever-growing protest and denunciation of people from all walks of life including Maehyang-ri inhabitants and fighting organizations.
    But the recent disclosure proved their measure hypocritical. The U.S. imperialist aggression troops have ceaselessly conducted bomb-dropping exercises in Maehyang-ri by deceiving south Koreans with the smokescreen of "closure." Worse still, they are pressurizing the south Korean authorities to offer a land for a new firing range as a substitute for the closed one. This clearly shows what extent the U.S. brazen-faced nature as a suzerain country has reached, while despising and insulting south Koreans.
    The situation goes to prove once again that nothing but misfortune can be expected from the U.S. which, keen on meeting its own aggressive interests, is utterly indifferent to the security of south Koreans, to say nothing of their will and wishes.

All Koreans Called upon to Struggle for Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from South Korea

    Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- The Koreans should no longer allow the U.S. imperialists to stay in south Korea as they are advancing under the banner of "By our nation itself" in the era of independent reunification, observes Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed article carried in connection with the fact that the U.S. has become all the more undisguised in its moves to keep its aggressor forces in south Korea. The article goes on:
    The U.S. moves to perpetuate the presence of its aggressor forces in south Korea are aimed at keeping the Korean nation divided into two forever and, furthermore, realizing its ambition to dominate the whole of Korea.
    The publication of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the advance of the era of independent reunification reflect the desire of all the fellow countrymen for independence to put an end to the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea and their infringement upon the national sovereignty.
    All the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad are valiantly turning out in the struggle to get the U.S. forces withdrawn from south Korea. This clearly shows what is the trend in the era of independent reunification.
    The publication of the June 15 joint declaration turned the inter-Korean relations into those of reconciliation and cooperation from those of confrontation and distrust and threw all the leftovers of the past era of confrontation into a dustbin of history. The U.S. forces' presence in south Korea, a typical leftover of the era of the Cold War and confrontation, should be eradicated, first of all, as they are a cancer-like entity standing in the way of the inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation.
    There is no justification for the U.S. forces to remain in south Korea any longer as they are inciting distrust and confrontation between the north and the south and obstructing the reunification of the country in the June 15 era of reunification when national cooperation and unity are growing strong between the north and the south and all the Koreans are aspiring after the peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula.
    Inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation can never make any progress unless the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces are withdrawn from south Korea. This is a lesson taught by the present era of independent reunification.
    The U.S. forces present in south Korea staged large-scale joint military exercises together with the south Korean war-like forces whenever inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation made new progress, thus poisoning the atmosphere of reconciliation and inciting inter-Korean confrontation.
    There is neither justification nor pretext whatsoever for the U.S. to keep its aggressor forces in south Korea any longer now that the south Korean people are waging a dynamic struggle for the pullback of the U.S. forces from south Korea.
    The U.S. would be well advised to clearly understand the need of the era and face up to the trend of the times, withdraw its forces from south Korea at an early date and refrain from doing anything obstructive to Korea's reunification.

Kim Il Sung's Exploits in Building Air Force

    Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) --The Air Force Day which falls on August 20 is significantly observed in the DPRK. The Korean people take this opportunity to look back with deep emotion on the exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung in founding and developing a powerful air force.
    The President, who had conceived a plan for creating an air force to defend the skies of the new Korea, set up the Aviation Association branches in Pyongyang, Sinuiju and other parts of the country right after the liberation of the country. In December Juche 34 (1945), he merged them into the Aviation Association of Korea.
    Having been elected the chairman of the association, he energetically led the work for founding the air force.
    He visited the Pyongyang Institute in mid March 1946, where he said that in order to build a completely independent and sovereign state, it was imperative to have an air force capable of defending the territorial air of the country with honor as well as the ground and naval forces. And he added that an aviation class for training aviators and technical service personnel should be set up at the institute.
    He specified the tasks and ways for the management of the aviation class ranging from the political and ideological education, general military education and aeronautical education for the aviation class students to ensuring conditions for practicing aviation. Under the President's wise leadership and meticulous care, the aviation class of the Pyongyang Institute, the mother body of the air force, produced many competent aviators in a short span of time.
    Basing himself on this, he organized a regular air force on August 20, 1947, the first of its kind in the Korean history.
    Young as it was, the Air Force of the Korean People's Army humbled the U.S. imperialists who boasted of being air superiority during the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953).
    Now the ideological and moral traits of the air force of the KPA are good and the standard of its military technique is incomparably high.

Rodong Sinmun denuncia acto enganoso de EE.UU.

    Pyongyang, 19 de agosto (ATCC) -- La publicacion sobre el "cierre" del campo de tiro de las tropas norteamericanas en la comuna de Maehyang del distrito de Hwasong de la provincia de Kyonggi del Sur de Corea, es un acto enganoso y burla a los surcoreanos que claman por su retirada al cabo de haber sufrido desgracias insoportables. 　Asi comienza el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual insertado el dia 19 en relacion con la reciente revelacion del hecho de que los uniformados yanquis hicieron diariamente los ejercicios de vuelo de bombardeo desde noviembre del ano pasado en la cercania del citado campo de tiro a pesar de que publicaron oficialmente un ano antes su "cierre", y prosigue:
    　Ante la creciente protesta y denuncia de los moradores de la comuna de Maehyang y otros habitantes de distintos sectores y entidades de lucha del Sur de Corea, las autoridades castrenses norteamericanas no podian menos que publicar la "medida del cierre del campo de tiro".
    　Pero, de hecho, esta publicacion fue una mentira y una cortina de humo para tapar los ojos y oidos de los surcoreanos y seguir los ejercicios de vuelo de bombardeo. De mal en peor, Estados Unidos exige a las autoridades surcoreanas que le ofrezcan un nuevo campo de tiro que haga las veces del susodicho. Asi hace uso de su autoridad metropolitana y menosprecia y burla al pueblo surcoreano.
    　El presente caso demuestra que habra solo desgracia al depositar alguna esperanza en Estados Unidos que para lograr su intencion agresiva responde con oidos sordos a la demanda de los surcoreanos y no toma en consideracion la seguridad y la vida de estos.

Historia de la poderosa aviacion de la RPDC

    Pyongyang, 19 de agosto (ATCC) -- En ocasion del dia de las fuerzas aereas (20 de agosto), el pueblo coreano recuerda con mucha emocion la gran contribucion del Presidente Kim Il Sung a la fundacion y al fortalecimiento de las mismas. Como primer paso para ejecutar su proyecto de fundar las fuerzas aereas capaces de salvaguardar el aire jurisdiccional de nueva Corea, el organizo despues de liberacion de Corea unas sucursales de la asociacion aeronautica en Pyongyang, Sinuiju y otras localidades del pais. Y en diciembre del 34 (1945) de la Era Juche, fusionandolas constituyo la Asociacion Aeronautica de Corea, de la cual tomo riendas personalmente para dirigir energicamente la construccion de la aviacion.
    A mediados de marzo de 1946, en la Escuela de Pyongyang subrayo que para edificar un pais totalmente independiente y soberano, era necesario construir una aviacion capaz de defender el espacio aereo de la patria, aparte de las fuerzas terrestres y navales, e instruyo establecer aqui una clase de aeronautica para formar a los pilotos y personal tecnico.
    Ademas, indico en detalles las tareas y remedios para la instruccion a los integrantes de esta clase, entre otros, la educacion ideo-politica, la ensenanza militar general y de tecnica aeronautica y la facilitacion de condiciones para practicar el pilotaje.
    Gracias a la sabia direccion y esmerada atencion del Presidente, esta clase, que sirvio de progenitora de las fuerzas aereas, preparo en un corto tiempo a numerosos aviadores competentes.
    A base de estos preparativos, el 20 de agosto de 1947 el Presidente fundo la aviacion regular por primera vez en la historia de Corea.
    Aunque tenian apenas 3 anos desde su fundacion, en la pasada Guerra de Liberacion de la Patria (1950-1953) las fuerzas aereas del Ejercito Popular de Corea lograron orgullosas victorias en todas las batallas doblegando a los imperialistas norteamericanos que se jactaban de la supremacia aerea.
    Hoy dia, son muy altos la disposicion ideo-espiritual y el nivel tecnico-militar de la aviacion del EPC.
    Los valientes pilotos, armados firmemente con el espiritu de defender al lider a costa de la vida como el heroe Kil Yong Jo, estan decididos a castigar implacablemente a quienes invadan, aunque una pulgada, el cielo de la patria.
