All Koreans Called upon to Achieve Great National Unity

    Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- Only when the seventy million Koreans go united can they decisively foil the moves of the U.S. imperialists for aggression war against reunification and witness the beginning of a new history of peace and reunification on this land. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    The issue of Korean reunification is, in essence, a matter of rejoining the blood ties of the Korean nation artificially divided by outside forces and achieving the national unity and success in the reunification movement depends on how to attain the national unity, the article notes, and goes on:
    The cause of Korean reunification means the cause of the driving force of the Korean nation.
    This cause calls on the Koreans to be responsible for accomplishing it and carry it out by themselves according to their independent will and wishes. It is, therefore, a fundamental issue the solution of which requires primary efforts to bolster the driving force for reunification in the efforts to achieve the cause of national reunification.
    If all Koreans in the north and the south and abroad pool their will and, on this basis, achieve the great national unity, they can settle the essential issue in accomplishing national reunification and then this will help solve the remaining matters with ease. It is in this context that the great national unity precisely means national reunification.
    The tremendous vitality of the great national unity has been proved by the successes made in the efforts to improve the inter-Korean relations and in the movement for reunification in recent years. To strengthen the great national unity presents itself as a more urgent issue in the present struggle to implement the June 15 joint declaration, taking it as a landmark of national reunification.
    All the political parties and organizations and people of different social standings in the north and the south and abroad should support each other and take joint actions in the efforts to achieve the peace of the country and accomplish the cause of national reunification. The primary task facing them is to check and frustrate the U.S. imperialists' moves to ignite a new war and their attempt to perpetuate their presence in south Korea.
    National independence, reconciliation and the great unity of the Korean nation are what all Koreans unanimously desire and ardently wish.
    All Koreans desirous of peace and independent reunification of the country should go united to achieve independence and great national unity. This is the only way for the Korean nation to survive and achieve reunification.

Monthly Samil, Immortal Banner for National Liberation

    Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- Seventy years have passed since President Kim Il Sung started publishing Monthly Samil, the organ of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland (ARF). Much upset by the brisk activities of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (KPRA) and the ever-spreading ARF in the latter half of the 1930s, the Japanese imperialists were hell bent on repressing the revolutionary forces and severing the relations between the guerrillas and people while further intensifying the "punitive operations" against the KPRA.
    With a scientific penetration into the obtaining situation, the President initiated the founding of revolutionary publications, powerful propaganda and agitation means for rapidly propagandizing the revolutionary ideas and fighting slogans among the popular masses, uniting and training them organizationally and ideologically, and powerfully pushed ahead with the work.
    After the Nanhutou Meeting (February 27 to March 3, 1936), he built secret camps in the Mt. Paektu area to make a new upsurge of the Korean revolution and set up a publishing house there as part of the preparatory work for founding the organ of the ARF.
    Basing himself on this preparation, he inaugurated Monthly Samil on December 1, Juche 25 (1936).
    Monthly Samil was a mass politico-theoretical magazine with a basic mission to help realize the idea of the ARF to achieve the country's independence with the concerted efforts of the whole nation.
    The President found times to write articles to be carried in the magazine even in the fierce battles with the enemy.
    From the first days since its foundation, Monthly Samil played a tremendous role in rallying not only the members of the KPRA but also the broad sections of people in the patriotic struggle against the Japanese imperialists and arousing them in the struggle.

Spirit of Independence Asserted

    Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- If any country gives up the anti-imperialist struggle, failing to see through the vulnerability of the imperialists and harboring an illusion about them, they can never be free from their domination, subjugation, exploitation and plunder. It is the way out for all countries and nations to carry out the revolution and construction by themselves and in their own way from their own viewpoint, combating any illusion about imperialism. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    Harboring any illusion about imperialism and counting on it is the most harmful matter which the world revolutionary people should guard against in the ongoing struggle to accomplish the human cause of independence, the article notes, and goes on:
    The imperialists are leaving no means untried to create an illusion about capitalism, claiming that the hegemonic nature of the imperialists has changed.
    What is important for combating the illusion about imperialism is not to see just the appearance of the capitalist society but to see through its ulterior motive.
    The capitalist society is "heaven" for the bourgeois ruling class, but a hell on earth for the working class.
    It is not capitalism but socialism that guarantees dignity, rights and worthy life to an independent human being.
    A policy for the people can be enforced only under the socialist system.
    One should be vigilant against "aid" and "cooperation" much publicized by the imperialists.
    This kind of aid and cooperation are nothing but leverage for their exploitation, plunder, domination and subjugation.
    People should not be deceived by the imperialists' loudmouthed "peace."
    The U.S. is advocating its anti-terror war for aggression as a just war, painting itself as "an apostle of peace" and " a champion of democracy and human rights".
    All the peace-loving forces of the world are called upon to heighten their vigilance against the moves for aggression and war the imperialists are escalating under the deceptive signboard of "combating terrorism and ensuring peace" and intensify their struggle against imperialism.
    The revolutionary political parties and people should firmly adhere to the independent stand against imperialism, strictly guard against any slightest manifestation of illusion about capitalism and combat it.

A press release read out at the press conference noted that the "all-people action" was an eruption of resentment against the present "government" and a just struggle to win the right to existence and settle by themselves the crisis facing the popular masses.
    It lashed out at the conservative media for backing the present "government" in its brutal suppression of the participants in the action and painting those who fought in defence of the right to existence as "mobs."

Veneno que paraliza el espiritu independiente

    Pyongyang, 1 de diciembre (ATCC) -- Cuando un pais no se percata de la vulnerabilidad del imperialismo sino renuncia la lucha antiimperialista abrigando la ilusion sobre el, nunca podra liberarse del dominio y subyugacion, la explotacion y pillaje. Rechazar la ilusion sobre el y realizar con su criterio, a la manera suya y con su propia fuerza la revolucion y construccion es el camino de la subsistencia de cada pais y nacion. Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual de este viernes y continua:
    Para los pueblos revolucionarios del mundo en la lucha por realizar la causa de independencia de la humanidad, lo mas nocivo que suscita precaucion es abrigar la ilusion y cifrar la esperanza en el imperialismo.
    Los imperialistas al hablar como si hubiera cambiado su naturaleza dominacionista recurren a todos los medios y metodos para crear la ilusion sobre el capitalismo.
    Lo importante para deshacer la ilusion sobre el imperialismo es ver no aparentemente sino en su fuero interno la sociedad capitalista.
    Esta es "paraiso" para la clase dominante burguesa e "infierno" para las masas del pueblo trabajador.
    El ser humano puede tener la dignidad independiente, el derecho y la vida autentica solo en la sociedad socialista, donde se practica la politica para el pueblo.
    Debe guardarse de la "ayuda" y "cooperacion" de que hablan tanto los imperialistas. Estas dos son lazos de la explotacion, pillaje, dominio y subyugacion.
    No debe dejarse enganar por trompeta de "paz" de los imperialistas. EE.UU. describe como la "justicia" la "guerra antiterrorista" y se precia de "apostol de la paz" y "defensor de la democracia y los derechos humanos".
    Todas las fuerzas del mundo amantes de la paz deben elevar la vigilancia contra las maniobras de agresion y guerra que los imperialistas perpetran bajo el rotulo de "antiterrorismo" y "preservacion de la paz" y librar una vigorosa lucha contra estos.
    Los partidos y los pueblos que hacen la revolucion deben mantener firmemente la posicion independiente antiimperialista y abandonar la ilusion sobre el capitalismo.

Rodong Sinmun aboga por la unidad nacional para la reunificacion

    Pyongyang, 1 de diciembre (ATCC) -- Cuando 70 millones de coreanos unan sus fuerzas, se frustraran las maniobras de los imperialistas norteamericanos encaminadas a desatar una guerra de agresion, que van en contra de la reunificacion de Corea, y comenzara en la tierra patria una nueva historia de la paz y reunificacion. Adelanta el diario Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual publicado este viernes y prosigue:
    La reunificacion de Corea es el problema para empalmar los vasos sanguineos de la nacion coreana, cortados artificialmente por las fuerzas extranjeras, y lograr la unidad nacional, de la cual depende el exito o el fracaso del movimiento por la reintegracion territorial.
    El sujeto de la causa de reunificacion de la Peninsula Coreana es precisamente la nacion coreana.
    Es decir, ella debe cumplirla por cuenta propia conforme a la voluntad independiente y la demanda de si misma.
    Por lo tanto, el fortalecimiento de las fuerzas subjetivas para la reunificacion resulta el problema fundamental de mayor prioridad, que se resolvera cuando todos los coreanos del Norte, el Sur y en ultramar logren la gran unidad nacional a base de la identificacion de la voluntad.
    Cuando se logre esto, los demas problemas seran solucionados facilmente.
