    Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a signed article as regards the lapse of 62 years since the U.S. military occupation of south Korea.
    The U.S. imperialist aggression forces in south Korea are as good as a time bomb gravely threatening the peace on the Korean Peninsula and the destiny of the Korean nation and a heavy bar lying in the way of improvement of inter-Korean relations and national reunification, the article notes, and goes on:
    The U.S. occupied south Korea by force of arms and established its colonial domination system there. On the basis of it, it has maliciously blocked the Korean nation's struggle for peace of the country and its reunification while intensifying the moves for aggression on the DPRK.
    The U.S. policy of occupying south Korea is chiefly aimed at invading the DPRK and realizing its ambition for military domination over the whole of the Korean Peninsula which is situated in a strategically important position.
    The U.S. imperialists ignited the Korean war in 1950, fully revealing before the world the aggressive nature of their occupation of south Korea and their true colors as a criminal.
    Even after the end of the Cold War the U.S. has not discarded its anachronistic Korea policy but continued resorting to arms buildup and anti-DPRK war exercises in south Korea, thus rendering the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the extreme pitch of tension and increasing the danger of outbreak of a nuclear war.
    The U.S. advertises that its military presence in south Korea is to "deter someone's provocation" and "keep peace" in and around the Korean Peninsula. But it is sheer sophism confusing the right and wrong and a crafty deception to justify and perpetuate the U.S. imperialist aggression forces' occupation of south Korea.
    Their occupation of south Korea can never be justified. With nothing can the U.S. conceal the crime-woven history of 62 years during which it has wantonly violated the dignity and sovereignty of the Korean nation, gravely wrecked peace of the Korean Peninsula and sought the confrontation between the north and the south and their permanent division after occupying south Korea by force of arms.
    There is no justification and pretext for the U.S. to keep its aggression forces in south Korea.


Early Withdrawal of U.S. Forces Called for

   Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- The U.S. Forces Command in south Korea is stepping up the restructuring of its armed forces and staging war exercises against the DPRK almost everyday, while blustering recently that it would "turn its forces into a more powerful army to deter provocations" after listing the DPRK as a "country to blame for those provocations."
    Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes in a signed article in this regard: The U.S. moves to permanently keep its aggression forces in south Korea can never be pardoned as they are anachronistic and perfidious acts to threaten the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula and block the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea.
    The U.S. continued military presence in south Korea is quite contrary to the trend of the present times toward independence, peace and reunification.
    It is as clear as noonday that durable peace can neither settle on the Korean Peninsula nor can the June 15 era of reunification make smooth progress as long as the U.S. imperialist aggression forces are present in south Korea.
    They professed to be "liberator" and "friend" from the outset of their occupation of south Korea but could not conceal their true colors as an aggressor, plunderer and murderer.
    They plundered south Korean peasants of a large area of farm land, their means of living, turning it into the U.S. military bases. And they are forcing south Korea to spend money exceeding 3 billion U.S. dollars collected from south Koreans as taxes as "funds for the upkeep of U.S. forces."
    The Koreans will never allow the U.S. to perpetuate its forces' presence in south Korea but wage a persistent struggle to drive the aggressors out of south Korea at any cost.

Everyday dresses good and convenient for activities presented by members of the women's union in various parts of the country, in particular, fully represented the zeal of the Korean women to preserve the excellent tradition of Korean dresses and further develop it.
    While the show was under way it involved diverse programs such as fashion show, lectures on how to design and make Korean dresses and technical service.


Kim Il Sung's Immortal Feats in Building of Socialist State

   Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- The Korean people with deep emotion are looking back on the immortal feats performed by President Kim Il Sung in creating a new history of building a socialist state on the occasion of the 59th anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
    With a scientific penetration into the requirement of the times and revolutionary development in his early revolutionary activities, the President organized and led the great anti-Japanese war under the banner of Juche idea and energetically pushed ahead with the preparatory work for establishing a genuine revolutionary power.
    He put forward the line on building a new form of government at the Kalun Meeting and clarified the task to overturn the ruling system of the brigandish Japanese imperialists and set up a genuine people's government by realizing a broad national united front in the "Ten-point Programme of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland."
    In particular, the people's revolutionary governments established in the guerrilla bases under the leadership of the President were the historical root for the foundation and development of the DPRK, which was the origin of the people-centered new state building.
    Based on the experience of the anti-Japanese armed struggle, he wisely led the struggle for accomplishing the cause of founding the DPRK after the liberation of the country.
    The obstructions of the U.S. imperialists and the traitors to the nation at that time brought manifold obstacles and difficulties to the efforts to establish a unified democratic central government and an independent and sovereign state for which the people had longed.
    Under such situation, the President set up the central power organ to guide the already formed local people's government bodies in north Korea in a unified way and consolidated the material foundation for building an independent and sovereign state.
    When the U.S. imperialists and its stooges unscrupulously rigged up the "separate election and separate government" in south Korea, he put forward the policy of setting up a supreme legislative body representing the whole of Korea and enforcing the constitution of the DPRK and roused the working masses to the struggle for founding the DPRK.
    His energetic guidance resulted in the foundation of the DPRK on September 9, Juche 37 (1948) at last and he was elected the head of the state in accordance with the unanimous desire and will of the entire Korean people.
    Today the Korean people, with Kim Il Sung as the eternal President of the DPRK, are creditably carrying his plan for building a rich and strong nation into practice under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il.

Tropas de EE.UU. son escollo principal para reunificacion de Corea

   Pyongyang, 8 de septiembre (ATCC) -- La historia de ocupacion del Sur de Corea por los imperialistas norteamericanos es la trayectoria de agresion y crimenes que recorrio Estados Unidos violando la soberania de la nacion coreana, perturbando la paz y obstaculizando la reunificacion de Corea.
    Asi senala el periodico Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual del dia 8 dedicado al 62o aniversario de la ocupacion militar del suelo surcoreano por EE.UU. y continua:
    Las tropas yanquis ocupantes del Sur de Corea devienen la bomba de tiempo que amenaza gravemente la paz de la Peninsula Coreana y el destino de la nacion coreana y la gran barrera interpuesta en el camino del desarrollo de las relaciones entre el Norte y el Sur de Corea y la reunificacion de la patria. Despues de ocupar militarmente el suelo surcoreano y establecer alli el sistema de dominacion colonial, EE.UU. intensifico las maniobras de agresion a Corea y maniobro perversamente para frenar la lucha de los coreanos por la paz y la reunificacion del pais.
    El objetivo principal de la politica de ocupacion de EE.UU. sobre el Sur de Corea reside en agredir a la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea y realizar su ambicion de dominar militarmente a toda la Peninsula Coreana situada en el nido estrategico.
    La guerra coreana desatada en 1950 por los yanquis revelo a todo el mundo el caracter agresivo y criminal de la ocupacion del Sur de Corea por EE.UU.
    Aun despues del fin de la guerra fria, el imperio siguio recurriendo en el Sur de Corea al aumento armamentista y a los ejercicios belicos contra la RPDC sin abandonar su anacronica politica hacia esta. De este modo, agravo al tope la situacion de la Peninsula Coreana y aumento mas el peligro del estallido de una guerra nuclear.
    Ahora, EE.UU. describe como si la permanencia de sus tropas en el Sur de Corea sirviera para "detener la provocacion" de alguien y "mantener la paz" de la Peninsula Coreana y sus periferias. Pero, esto no pasa de ser una descarada sofisteria y una artimana para justificar y eternizar la presencia de sus tropas en el Sur de Corea.
    Jamas sera justificada la ocupacion del Sur de Corea por EE.UU.
    Es imposible encubrir la historia de 62 anos criminales en que EE.UU. vino persiguiendo la confrontacion y la escision perpetua entre ambas partes de Corea.
    EE.UU. no tiene ninguna justificacion o pretexto para seguir enclavando a sus uniformados en el territorio surcoreano.
