Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a bylined article.

Noting that Japan has become frantic in its moves to stoke the above-said disputes these days, the article discloses its basic aims and their danger as follows:

The Japanese militarists seek to acquire "dominion" on islands of neighboring countries with which they have territorial disputes in a bid to markedly expand the territorial sphere of Japan and launch reinvasion and operations to conquer Asia with those islands as its springboard and military strategic bridgehead. In the final analysis, they are set to realize their old dream of "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere" at any cost.

It is one of the main aims sought by the Japanese reactionaries in the above-said disputes to hasten the militarization of society by imbuing Japanese people with ultra-nationalism.

Such ultra-nationalist and militarist farces as national rallies demanding the "return of territories" are openly taking place in Japan with the presence of authorities. This proves that the process of turning society to the Right and militarization has already gone beyond the danger line.

Japan is persisting in the territorial disputes with so much zeal because of its present political and economic crises.

As Japan has to import most of raw materials and fuel from overseas, it is by no means fortuitous for Japan to be locked in territorial disputes with neighboring countries after designating the regions rich in resources as targets of reinvasion.

Japan's frantic moves are attributable to the zealous prodding of its U.S. master.

In pursuance of its strategic interests the U.S. seeks to use Japan as a shock brigade and war servant in carrying out its strategy for Asian domination. In the meantime, the Japanese militarists work hard to realize their militarist ambition at any cost by zealously implementing the U.S. policy of aggression.

However, this is nothing but a foolish calculation of Japan.
