Successful Conclusion of This Year's Campaign for Great Surge Called for

Pyongyang, September 23 (KCNA) -- All the party members and other working people are called upon to continue giving spurs to the on-going general advance with the same vim and vigor with which they emerged victors in the 150-day campaign, single-mindedly united around General Secretary Kim Jong Il, and thus strikingly demonstrate once again the revolutionary spirit of heroic Korea dynamically advancing toward the eminence of a great prosperous and powerful nation with the speed of Songun Chollima. This appeal is made by leading newspapers Wednesday in editorials.

Rodong Sinmun notes that the shining victory won in the 150-day campaign helped the DPRK take a fresh giant stride forward in building a thriving nation and opened up a brighter prospect before the nation.

It goes on:

During the 150-day campaign the Korean people fully displayed boundless loyalty in thoroughly carrying out the leader's idea and intention and the party's line and policies with one and the same thought and purpose and such inexhaustible mental power as implementing them in a do-or-die spirit. This period witnessed heroic struggles through which they fully displayed the invincible stamina of Songun Korea by turning impossibility into possibility and bringing about epoch-making changes.

The 150-day campaign clearly testified to the fact that the party's intention and determination were entirely just and only victory and glory are in store for the Korean people making a steady advance while struggling with the above-said mental power.

The shining victory won in the 150-day campaign is a precious fruition of the energetic and tested guidance of Kim Jong Il.

It is the traditional revolutionary mode and fighting spirit of the Korean people to effect uninterrupted innovations and make steady progress for greater victory, not remaining complacent with the achievements already made.

The Workers' Party of Korea is calling on all the people to wage a 100-day campaign.

All the party members and other working people should make greater leaping advances on all fronts with confidence and optimism about sure victory and thus provide without fail this year a sure guarantee for the final victory in the drive for building a thriving nation.

They are sure to win in the 100-day campaign as long as there are the tested and experienced leadership of the great party, matchless military capability, the unbreakable single-minded unity, the foundation of the powerful self-supporting national economy and a large contingent of those strong in thinking and mental power.

Minju Joson calls upon all the officials and working people to dynamically conduct the 100-day campaign confident of victory and thus glorify this year as a year of great changes and a year of historic leaping advances without fail, the year which will witness a landmark turn in building a thriving nation.
