It was also reported that they used money for salaries of employees of a hotel operated by them and for their money-lending business.

The facts show that the U.S. imperialists regard south Korea just as their colonial guard and that they are arrogant and shameless aggressors and plunderers who make profits and enjoy pleasure with blood and sweats of the south Korean people, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday.

The upkeep of the U.S. forces squeezed from south Korea is enough to spare, but the U.S. is pressing south Korea for more money, 50 percent of "the defense cost sharing" from 42 percent now, the newspaper says in a commentary, and goes on:

"The defense cost sharing" is nonsensical from the view of the aggressive nature and criminal acts of the U.S. troops in south Korea.

The present tragic situation of south Korea is an inevitable product of despicable treachery of those staking their fate on the U.S. and running amuck in confrontation with the fellow countrymen in the DPRK.

The south Korean puppet authorities spare nothing for pleasing their U.S. master and pleading for cooperation in their war moves against the DPRK. This is the height of treachery.
