KCNA Accuses S. Korean Warmongers of Whetting Swords

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Institute for Defence Science Studies was reported by south Korean media to have put spurs to the development of unmanned bombers capable of striking long-range artillery pieces of the north deployed in the areas along the Military Demarcation Line in case of emergency under a plan to deploy them in 4-5 years to come. The minister of National Defence of south Korea, addressing a meeting of the National Defence Committee of the National Assembly on August 25, blustered that the above-said bombers may serve as "significant means for neutralizing the north's long-range artillery pieces in the early period of the war."
    This clearly suggested that the development of such type bomber is part of the preparations for a preemptive attack which consider a war against the north as an established fact.
    His outcry indicates how hard pro-U.S. warmaniacs in south Korea are working to carry out the new scenario of their American master to stifle the north by force.
    This cannot but be a very serious and dangerous development.
    As already reported, though the United States is talking about the six-party talks, it is watching for every chance to start a new war, persistently pursuing a policy of military confrontation to stifle the DPRK by force.
    It is against this backdrop that the south Korean military are busying themselves with the development of such latest type military hardware for a preemptive attack on the north. This goes to prove that south Korea's loudmouthed "reconciliation" and "cooperation" are nothing but hypocrisy.
    The moves of the south Korean warlike forces to develop and introduce ultra-modern weapons are limitless in their scope and have reached a reckless phase. They include new-type tanks, armored cars, nuclear-powered submarines, Aegis craft, missiles, military spy satellites, early-warning planes and unmanned bombers.
    The south Korean military authorities introduced at least 100 "massive striking bombs" that can be mounted on F-15Ks in June under the pretext of countering the north's long-range artillery pieces. They are contemplating increasing their number to 900 by the year 2012.
    They have worked out even a "wartime joint operational plan" on the basis of such material preparations for a war, a scenario which requires the south Korean army to play a "leading role" in case of emergency.
    The reality shows that the south Korean military authorities have become evermore pronounced in their bellicose nature.
    What is funny is that they are employing red herring by trying to conceal their frantic war preparations with a veil of "self-reliant defence."
    Their true colors have already been laid bare.
    U.S. Ambassador to south Korea Vershbow, clarifying the U.S. official stand on the "transfer of the right to command the wartime operation" on August 14, asserted that the military alliance between the U.S. and south Korea or their combined defense capability would not be weakened but on the contrary would get stronger.
    It is as clear as noonday that the pro-U.S. warmongers in south Korea will get more vociferous about "self-reliant defence," acting under the U.S. baton and introduce all types of sophisticated war equipment into south Korea under this smokescreen.
    For the south Korean military authorities to pursue military confrontation with the north at the U.S. instigation is as foolish an act as jumping into the fire with faggot on their backs.
    If they continue serving the U.S. ruling quarters keen to pit Koreans against themselves and fish in troubled waters, defying the warning of the north, they will not be able to escape the merciless judgment of the nation.

U.S.-south Korea Joint Military Exercises under Fire in New Zealand

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The New Zealand-DPRK Society issued an information bulletin on Aug. 28 to denounce the U.S.-south Korea "Ulji Focus Lens" joint military exercises. The bulletin said in an article that the large-scale exercises launched by the U.S. for a war of aggression against the DPRK in south Korea by mobilizing latest military equipment and even a nuclear carrier only harden the determination of the DPRK to increase its defence capability.
    These joint military maneuvers are aimed at breaking the will of the Korean people to advance towards a peaceful future, rejecting interference of foreign forces including the U.S., the bulletin noted.

Workers' Rally for Basic Rights of Labor Held in S. Korea

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- A "national workers' rally to demand punishment of those responsible for the murder of Ha Jung Gun and win back the basic rights of labor" was reportedly held in the plaza of Pusan Railway Station on Aug. 27 under the sponsorship of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions. It was attended by at least 10,000 unionists. Jo Jun Ho, chairman of the confederation, and other speakers said that it is almost a month since Ha, member of the Phohang Construction Workers' Union, was killed by the riot police who suppressed the workers in their struggle for the right to existence but his funeral has not yet been held.
    They called for united actions for punishing the police chief responsible for the murder of Ha and checking the conclusion of the south Korea-U.S "Free Trade Agreement" and the passage of a bill on part-time jobs.
    The rally also heard a solidarity speech made by a member of an international labor organization who had come to south Korea as a member of the international fact-finding group.
    It adopted a resolution calling for holding a general strike for the punishment of those responsible for the murder of Ha and waging an all-people struggle to check the conclusion of the FTA.
    At the end of the rally, its participants marched along the street.

Seminar Held to Mark 140th Anniversary of Sinking of U.S. Ship for Aggression

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- A seminar of social scientists was held at the Grand People's Study House on Aug. 30 on the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the sinking of the U.S. ship for aggression "General Sherman." The seminar heard papers presented by Prof. and Dr. Jo Hui Sung, director of an institute of the Academy of Social Sciences, Master Kim Pyong Chol, head of a chair of Kim Il Sung University, Associate Prof. and Master Kim Tok Song, head of a chair of Kim Hyong Jik University of Education, Kang Jong Ho, councilor of the National Reunification Institute, Associate Prof. and Master Han Yong Chan, dean of a faculty of Kim Chol Ju University of Education, and Master Ri Hyok, branch head of the International Affairs Institute. They explained how "General Sherman" intruded into Korea and the political background against which the intrusion was perpetrated and the aggression the U.S. imperialists have persistently committed against the country and its reactionary nature.
    The speakers noted that the above-said ship intruded into Korea in August 1866 on a scouting mission to realize the U.S. ambition to invade the country.
    They went on:
    The ship was the first heavily armed warship among the European and American ships to intrude into Korea. It had been instructed by the U.S. government to force the Korean government to open the country to the U.S. All its crew armed with weapons made no scruple of perpetrating military provocations, murder and plunder in a bid to achieve their brigandish aim and gravely violated the sovereignty of Korea.
    The sinking of the ship was a struggle against the invaders through which Koreans beat back the first U.S. armed aggression against Korea. It was the fruition of the patriotic and self-sacrificing struggle of soldiers and people of the walled city of Pyongyang.
    Kim Ung U, great grandfather of President Kim Il Sung, encouraged the people in Mangyongdae in this struggle. He applied a superb method of attacking the enemy ship with boats in flames and sending it to the bottom of the River Taedong, thereby leading the fight to a victory.
    They cited historical facts to prove that the U.S. backed the Japanese imperialists in their moves to establish unchallenged colonial rule over Korea and extended unconditional support to Japan in fabricating the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty" and annexing Korea and enforcing the harsh military rule over it.
    They also accused the U.S. imperialists of provoking the Korean war, imposing war disasters upon the Korean people and aggravating the national division and the confrontation between compatriots.
    If the U.S. imperialists ignite another war of aggression against the DPRK, oblivious of the lesson drawn from the fate of the USS "General Sherman" that sank 140 years ago, the Korean people will mercilessly wipe out the aggressors and thus take a thousand-fold revenge upon them as they have brought misfortune to the Korean people generation after generation.
    Present there were Ri Kwang Ho, department director of the C.C., the Workers' Party of Korea, Thae Hyong Chol, president of the Academy of Social Sciences, officials concerned and researchers, teachers, journalists, editors and lecturers in the fields of science, education, media, class education in Pyongyang.

Kubin Stock-Breeding Co-op Farm Pays Off

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The Kubin Stock-breeding Co-op Farm in the Kangdong County, Pyongyang, is profusely paying off. The farm 32 kilometers distant from the County Township had not been known in the past. Today it has become famous throughout the country as a model grass-eating domestic animal breeding farm.

    Each member of the farm breeds 30 to 40 goats.
    Its annual milk output has surpassed the level of several hundred tons.
    The milk processing work-team has a lactic acid bacilli cultivation room, milk products laboratory and modern milk processing and refrigeration facilities.

Cause of Building United Party of Working Masses Accomplished

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The foundation and development of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), organizer and guide of all victories of the Korean people, are unthinkable apart from the immortal exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung. The activities for founding a new type of revolutionary party were kicked off in the mid 1920s.
    The President formed the Down-with-Imperialism Union (DIU), the origin of the WPK, in October 1926 and founded the Young Communist League of Korea, the vanguard for guiding all the anti-Japanese mass organizations in a unified way, in August 1927. After then he had laid down the organizational and ideological foundation for founding a party.
    On July 3, Juche 19 (1930), he formed the Society for Rallying Comrades, the first party organization, which would be of parent significance in organizing and expanding basic party organizations. And then he formed basic party organizations in the Korean People's Revolutionary Army and earnestly pushed ahead with the work of building an organizational backbone for founding a party while strengthening the unity and cohesion in ideology and will of the revolutionary ranks.
    He, basing himself on the historical root and solid foundation for founding a party during the hard-fought anti-Japanese war, founded a revolutionary party capable of guiding the Korean revolution to victory with credit on October 10, 1945 right after the liberation of the country.
    After that, he conducted energetic activities in order to strengthen and develop the party into a mass party representing various classes and social strata.
    The merger of the Communist Party and the New Democratic Party was realized with success in a short span of time, with the result that it was strengthened to be a united party of the working masses in late August 1946.
    It was the brilliant victory and precious fruit made in the struggle for founding a revolutionary party of the working class he had waged since the first days of his revolutionary activities.
    Over the last 60-odd years, the WPK has displayed the dignity as a party striving for the interests of the working masses without any error or deviation in its lines and as an invincible party winning victory after victory with the might of the single-minded unity.

Japan's Heinous Crime of Industrial Destruction

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The Japanese imperialists had inflicted tremendous material damage on the Korean people in the past. The pernicious and unpardonable crime is that they destroyed industrial establishments of Korea before fleeing after their surrender in the Second World War. They mercilessly devastated most of the industrial facilities in an attempt to prevent the Korean people from building a new country after national liberation (August 15, 1945).
    They wrecked beyond recognition over ten compressors and tens of main facilities of the Synthesizing Workshop and many electric facilities including electric converters of the Electric Conversion Workshop at the Hungnam Fertilizer Factory.
    They did not hesitate to ravage 19 hydro-power stations including the Suphung Hydro-power Station and to blast electric facilities and transformers in the Puryong and other power plants.
    164 coal mines including the Ranam, Kowon, Kaechon and Anju Coal Mines and 178 mines including the Musan, Jaeryong and Unryul Mines were destroyed by the Japanese imperialists.
    They also demolished lots of railway transport means and facilities and communication network such as railway factories, bridges, tunnels, lines and yards, locomotives, passenger and freight trains.
    Such destruction acts were most serious in North Hamgyong Province. They blew up a wagon loaded with explosives in the Saenggiryong railway tunnel and disassembled and threw the machines and equipment of the Rajin Railway Factory into the East Sea of Korea.
    The Japanese imperialists brought one hundred and tens of locomotives and thousands of passenger and freight trains to south Korea.
    They sank most of ships including 70 motorboats with a total loading capacity of 99,000 tons in different ports across the northern half of the country and destroyed facilities in Chongjin, Rajin, Hungnam and all other ports and even small ferrying facilities in rivers and streams.
    On top of this, they reduced to ashes or carried away with them important technical documents for economic management and operation. And they instructed pro-Japanese elements to continue subversive activities.
    The Korean people strongly demand Japan sincerely apologize and compensate for the crimes committed during its 40-odd-year occupation of Korea and the destruction done before fleeing.

U.S. Commits Over 180 Cases of Aerial Espionage against DPRK

    Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists committed more than 180 cases of aerial espionage against the DPRK by mobilizing strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes with various missions in August, according to a military source. U-2s took off U.S. air force bases in south Korea almost every day and made shuttle flights eastward and westward in the sky above the areas along the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) for hours to photograph the depth of the north and conduct electronic reconnaissance of it.
    RC-135 took off an overseas base and circled over Taebu Islet and the areas of Yangphyong and Yangyang for two days to spy on all areas of the north.
    E-3 spied on the forefront areas for several days while commanding the flying corps hell-bent on various forms of war exercises. EP-3 flew into the air above the East Sea and the West Sea of Korea to spy on the coastal areas and the seabed of the north side.
    A daily average of five or six tactical reconnaissance planes including RC-12, RC-7B and RF-4C flew in the sky above the areas along the MDL day and night to spy on the important targets on the frontline and in the Eastern and Western coastal areas of the north.
    Strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes involved in the espionage against the north numbered eight on Aug. 21, the day the U.S. imperialists started the "Ulji Focus Lens" joint military exercises, and on Aug. 22 each and ten on Aug. 23 and nine on Aug. 24 and 25 each.

Reopening of Shipping of "Mangyongbong-92" Urged by Koreans in Japan

    Tokyo, August 29 (KNS-KCNA) -- Officials of the Union of Democratic Korean Women in Japan and representatives of the parents of students of Korean schools on August 24 visited the Japan Red Cross Society to demand the reopening of the shipping of "Mangyongbong-92," according to Joson Sinbo, the organ of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan. They noted that some time ago the Japanese government refused to permit the portcall of the ship, making it very difficult for Korean women and other Koreans in Japan who have their families and relatives in the DPRK to visit the homeland and for students of Korean schools to make a study tour there.
    They urged the society to bend efforts for the reopening of the service of the ship from the humanitarian stand.

ATCC denuncia a las fuerzas belicistas surcoreanas

    Pyongyang, 31 de agosto (ATCC) -- Segun medios de prensa surcoreanos, en estos tiempos, en su intento de desplegar dentro de 4 o 5 anos nuevos cazabombarderos no tripulados para combates reales, el "Instituto de Ciencias de Defensa Nacional" del Sur de Corea acicatea el desarrollo de estos aparatos capaces de batir en tiempo de emergencia las baterias de largo alcance del Norte de Corea desplegadas en inmediaciones de la Linea de Demarcacion Militar. Al respecto, el ministro de "Defensa Nacional" surcoreano dijo el dia 25 en el "comite de defensa de la Asamblea Nacional" que "el nuevo avion constituye un medio trascendental para neutralizar en etapa inicial los canones de largo alcance norcoreanos".
    De esta forma, insinuo que esa labor es un eslabon de los preparativos de ataque preventivo, que impulsan los belicistas surcoreanos considerando como un hecho consumado la guerra contra el Norte.
    Si se tienen en cuenta sus palabras, resulta obvio que ahora las fuerzas belicistas proyanquis del Sur de Corea andan mas atareadas que nunca para ejecutar el guion de guerra, trazado por su amo norteamericano para atropellar por via militar a la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea.
    Como es conocido por todos, aunque EE.UU. aboga verbalmente por la reanudacion de conversaciones a 6 partes, en realidad acecha una oportunidad para desatar la guerra contra la RPDC practicando una politica de confrontacion militar con esta.
    Bajo tales circunstancias, el circulo militar surcoreano acelera el desarrollo de ese ultramoderno medio militar revelando que la "reconciliacion" y "cooperacion", de que hablaba tanto hasta ahora, no pasan de ser un engano.
    Entran en etapa crucial las imprudentes maniobras de los belicistas surcoreanos encaminadas al desarrollo e introduccion de armamentos de todo tipo, entre otros, tanques y carros blindados de nuevo modelo, submarinos de propulsion nuclear, buques tipo Aegis, misiles, satelites espias de uso militar, AWACS y cazabombarderos no tripulados.
    Solo en el concepto de hacer frente a la artilleria de largo alcance de la RPDC, las autoridades militares surcoreanas introdujeron en junio ultimo mas de 100 "proyectiles combinados de impacto directo", susceptibles de ser cargados en el caza "F-15K", y hasta 2012 quieren poseer la cantidad nonupla.
    Junto con tales preparativos materiales, elaboran por otra parte el "plan de operacion conjunta en tiempo de guerra" suponiendo el papel "protagonico" del ejercito surcoreano.
    Lo mas ridiculo del caso es que ellas aceleran estos freneticos preparativos belicos pintandolos de "defensa nacional de caracter independiente".
    Pero, ya quedo desenmascarado lo fraudulento de este sofisma.
    El pasado dia 14, el embajador norteamericano acreditado en el Sur de Corea, Vershbow, al aclarar la posicion oficial de EE.UU. sobre el "traspaso del control de operaciones en tiempo de guerra", senalo que la alianza militar con el Sur de Corea y la capacidad "defensiva" de las fuerzas combinadas no se debilitaron sino se fortaleceran en lo adelante.
    Resulta muy claro que esos elementos surcoreanos proyanquis introduciran en suelo surcoreano mayor cantidad de pertrechos militares sofisticados de todo tipo esgrimiendo la fingida doctrina de "defensa nacional independiente" a las ordenes de EE.UU.
    Pero, esta conducta es una gran tonteria igual a lanzarse al fuego con la gasolina.
    Si las autoridades castrenses surcoreanas siguen trabajando como sirvientes de la capa dominante de EE.UU., que intenta sacar provechos del conflicto fratricida entre coreanos, seran castigadas duramente por toda la nacion.

Simposio por 140 aniversario de hundimiento de barco "Sherman"

    Pyongyang, 31 de agosto (ATCC) -- Tuvo lugar la vispera en el capitalino Palacio de Estudio del Pueblo el simposio del sector de ciencias sociales con motivo del 140 aniversario del hundimiento del barco norteamericano de agresion "Sherman". En sus respectivos trabajos publicados en esta ocasion, el profesor titular y Dr. Jo Hui Sung quien es jefe de instituto de la Academia de Ciencias Sociales; el licenciado y jefe de catedra de la Universidad Kim Il Sung, Kim Pyong Chol; el subprofesor titular y licenciado Kim Tok Song quien es jefe de catedra de la Universidad Pedagogica Kim Hyong Jik; el consejero del Instituto para la Reunificacion de la Patria Kang Jong Ho; el subprofesor titular y licenciado, Han Yong Chan quien es decano de la Universidad Pedagogica Kim Chol Ju; el licenciado, Ri Hyok, quien es jefe de seccion del Instituto de Asuntos Internacionales revelaron la intrusion de esa nave y su motivo politico, y el caracter reaccionario de las maniobras de los imperialistas yanquis para agredir a Corea, que perduran hasta hoy.
    Explicaron que el barco "Sherman", que se infiltro en Corea en agosto de 1866, tuvo la mision de patrullaje para realizar la ambicion de EE.UU. de agredir a Corea.
    En particular, a las ordenes del gobierno norteamericano de imponer la "apertura" a Corea, este buque dotado de armamentos pesados fue el primero en llegar a Corea entre los barcos de su pais y otras potencias europeas. Para lograr sus objetivos bandidescos, todos sus tripulantes armados incurrieron sin vacilacion en la provocacion militar, el asesinato y pillaje atentando seriamente la soberania de Corea, senalaron.
    El hundimiento del "Sherman" fue el resultado de la patriotica y abnegada lucha del ejercito y la poblacion del castillo de Pyongyang y significo la derrota de la primera invasion armada de EE.UU., apuntaron.
    Kim Ung U (bisabuelo del Presidente Kim Il Sung) llamo a los moradores de Mangyongdae al combate para hundirlo y propuso aniquilar a los enemigos con la "tactica de ataque con el fuego" con embarcaciones en llamas, argumentaron.
    Revelaron con hechos historicos los infames actos criminales de los imperialistas norteamericanos que instigaron las maniobras de los imperialistas japoneses de implantar el dominio colonial monopolico sobre Corea y apoyaron incondicionalmente la falsificacion del "Tratado de 5 Puntos de Ulsa", la anexion de Corea a Japon y la cruenta gobernacion militar.
    Prosiguieron que al provocar la guerra coreana, los yanquis acarrearon grandes desastres al pueblo coreano y agravaron la division y confrontacion fratricida de la nacion coreana.
    Si los yanquis desatan otra vez la guerra de agresion contra la RPDC olvidando el tragico destino del barco "Sherman" de hace ahora 140 anos, los coreanos aniquilaran despiadadamente a los agresores y tomaran la venganza contra los imperialistas yanquis que les impusieron indecibles desgracias de siglo en siglo, sentenciaron.
    Participaron en el foro el jefe de departamento del Comite Central del Partido del Trabajo de Corea, Ri Kwang Ho, el presidente de la Academia de Ciencias Sociales, Thae Hyong Chol, y otros funcionarios, investigadores, profesores, reporteros, compiladores y conferenciantes de las ramas de ciencia, educacion, prensa e informacion y educacion clasista en esta capital.

Hazanas de Kim Il Sung en la fundacion del PTC

    Pyongyang, 31 de agosto (ATCC) -- La fundacion y el fortalecimiento del Partido del Trabajo de Corea (PTC), organizador y orientador de todos los triunfos del pueblo coreano, son inconcebibles al margen de las inmortales hazanas del Presidente Kim Il Sung. Los preparativos para la fundacion de un partido revolucionario de nuevo tipo se iniciaron desde mediados de la decada de 1920.
    Al fundar en octubre de 1926 la Union para Derrotar al Imperialismo, el Presidente dio el origen del PTC y sento el cimiento ideo-organizativo de la fundacion del partido comenzando por constituir en agosto de 1927 la "Union de la Juventud Comunista de Corea", entidad vanguardista a cargo de dirigir de manera unificada a todas las organizaciones masivas antijaponesas.
    Construyo el 3 de julio del 19 (1930) de la Era Juche la Asociacion de Camaradas Konsol como primera organizacion partidista que servia de ejemplo en la creacion y ampliacion de las entidades basicas. Despues, formo las mismas en el Ejercito Revolucionario Popular de Corea e impulso con dinamismo las labores para fortalecer la unidad ideo-volitiva de las filas revolucionarias y preparar la estructura organizativa para fundar el partido.
    El Presidente, quien en los arduos dias de la guerra antijaponesa echo la raiz historica y la firme base para esa causa, fundo a unos meses posteriores a la liberacion de Corea, especificamente, el 10 de octubre de 1945, un partido revolucionario capaz de dirigir al triunfo la revolucion coreana.
    Despues, desplego dinamicas actividades para desarrollarlo como entidad masiva que represente a varias clases y sectores.
    Por fin, a finales de agosto de 1946, logro con exito en un corto plazo la fusion entre el Partido Comunista y el Neodemocratico, convirtiendolo en un partido unido de masas trabajadoras.
    Este acontecimiento significo un brillante triunfo y precioso resultado de la lucha historica por fundar un partido revolucionario de la clase obrera, a la cual el Presidente dedico todo lo suyo desde los primeros dias de sus actividades revolucionarias.
    Durante mas de 60 anos desde entonces, el PTC exalta su dignidad como partido invencible que sin cometer ningun error o desviacion en el cumplimento de sus lineas, lucha por los intereses de las masas trabajadoras y siempre sale victorioso con el poderio de la unidad monolitica.
