The editorial says:

On Sept. 17 General Secretary Kim Jong Il again provided field guidance to the construction sites of the Huichon Power Station. At that time he said that every minute and second in the construction sites of the power station witness a leaping advance and innovations and world-startling miracles are being wrought without let-up in the crucible of the high-pitched drive. He called this exceptionally high speed "the speed of Huichon".

This is a great speed for socialist construction symbolizing and representing the present era of great surge when everyone is making a leaping advance towards a thriving nation, riding on a Songun Chollima.

The "speed of Huichon" is an expression of the intense loyalty of the servicepersons and people in the DPRK who unconditionally carry out what

Kim Jong Il determines, a demonstration of the national self-esteem and mental power of the Korean people to demonstrate before the world the dignity and national power of Kim Il Sung's Korea. And it is, at the same time, an expression of the popular heroism of the servicepersons and people, their hearts burning with faith in socialism.

The above-said speed represents the speed of advance of the great harmonious whole that can be created in Songun Korea only where the plan and resolution of the leader reflect the will of all the servicepersons and people and they are put into practice.

This speed promises a rosy future of Songun Korea as it helps give full play to the essential advantages and vitality of Korean-style socialism based on collectivism, which keeps its real feature alive.

The creation of the above-said speed is a brilliant fruition of Kim Jong Il's strategy for building a thriving nation and his outstanding leadership ability.

The creation of the speed marks a historic event of great significance in the history of the Workers' Party of Korea and the revolution, the editorial notes, adding that this speed represents the most shining success made in the 150-day campaign and serves as a banner encouraging all the servicepersons and people to bring about uninterrupted innovations and progress.

The editorial calls on all officials and other party members and working people to dynamically advance at the "speed of Huichon" in hearty response to the call of the Party and thus successfully conclude the drive for effecting a great surge this year and make a breakthrough towards winning a final victory on all fronts.
