Kim Hong Hwi, a researcher of the Institute for Japan Studies, in an article dedicated to Minju Joson Wednesday noted that lots of people have unanimously termed the "memorial service" a burlesque too far from what was expected.

With the Japanese king's coming dethronement next year, many people around the world strongly demanded that he make responsible remarks over the issue of the settlement of the past and listened to him carefully with such expectation. But what he uttered was just a repetition of what the successive governments of Japan made, the article said, and went on:

The despicable acts of the Japanese reactionaries seen on the anniversary of Japan's defeat were just the struggling of a militarist venomous serpent.

Militarism led Japan to the abyss of defeat and is still leading its future to doom.

There is only one way out for the Japanese reactionaries rushing headlong into the ruin, being intoxicated by the militarist toxin. The only way for Japan to co-exist with the international community and go toward the future is to depart with militarism at an early date and to retake humane appearance.

It is once again advised that the only right way the Japanese politicians can choose for the country and the people is to part with the crime-woven past, be responsible for the history of crimes and opt for genuine peace.
