Korean Central News Agency Extracts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Acceleration of socialist construction called for ���Pyongyang, April 2 (KCNA) -- A powerful nation is certain to be built as the last instructions of President Kim Il Sung clearly indicate the path to be followed by us and leader Kim Jong Il is wisely guiding the army and the people. Rodong Sinmun today says this in an editorial. It goes on: ��� The behest left by the president for the revolutionary soldiers and the people carries his deep trust and expectation that they would remain loyal to the revolution to the last true to their pledge and the earnest words that they should accomplish the revolutionary cause without fail, upholding the leadership of the party. ��� More thoroughly fulfilling his behest is the most sacred and honorable struggle to give a steady continuity to his history century after century and a worthwhile struggle to build a powerful nation of Juche on this land and thus successfully realize his desire and plan in his lifetime. ��� Kim Jong Il is energetically leading the army and the people under the uplifted slogan of the building of a powerful nation so as to realize the president's desire and plan on this land as soon as possible. ��� He is the supreme incarnation of the sense of moral obligation as he set a practical example teaching the true communists how to hold their leader of revolution in high esteem. ��� The editorial calls upon the whole party and army and all the people to give full play to the might of the singlehearted unity, the mainstay for the Korean revolution and an instrument for certain victory, and bring about a new surge in the building of an economically powerful nation, united closer around him, true to the president's behest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ U.S. is to blame for non-compliance with AF ���Pyongyang, April 2 (KCNA) -- If the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework (AF) collapses due to the unreasonable and hawkish attitude of the U.S. it will be totally to blame for that, warns Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. ��� It says: ��� It is none other than the u.s. which has aggravated the DPRK-U.S. relations to the extreme pitch of coolness, refusing to properly implement the AF. ��� It has backtracked from the AF, a basis of improving the DPRK-U.S. relations, by not complying with its provisions. ��� Time is running out for the provision of light water reactors (lwrs) to which the u.s. committed itself. ��� However, the lwrs construction is so delayed that nothing has been done since the ground work was undertaken. It is quite clear that the U.S. can hardly provide lwrs to the DPRK in time. ��� The U.S. is wantonly violating the principles agreed upon at the DPRK-U.S. joint statement made public in June 1993. ��� The DPRK has sincerely implemented all the points agreed upon between the DPRK and the U.S. despite great difficulties, prompted by its will not to break a promise once made to others. ��� If the DPRK had pushed ahead with its plan for nuclear energy development for a peaceful purpose, its acute shortage of power would have already been solved. ��� Yet, it has remained true to the promises it made to the U.S. although even one kw of electricity is badly needed. ��� While insisting on far-fetched assertions, the U.S. seems to work hard to shift responsibility for the non-compliance with the AF and the extremely aggravated bilateral relations onto the DPRK. ��� If it has no willingness to implement the AF and drop its hard line and hawkish attitude to stifle the DPRK, the latter will be left with no option but to go its own way. ��� The DPRK, in fact ,does not expect anything from the u.s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increased defence capability called for ��� Pyongyang, April 2 (KCNA) -- Capability for self-defence is a sure guarantee for protecting peace from the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the imperialist aggressor forces and building an independent state, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on: ��� The imperialists do not hesitate to commit military intervention and aggression against some sovereign states because their military power is weak. ��� If an army of a country is strong and its military position invulnerable, it can remain reassured and confident of what it is doing no matter how desperately the imperialists may work against it. ��� But a country with weak military power tends to look about the circumstances around it when doing anything and strain every nerve to curry favor with others. ��� Doing so can never be called an independent policy and it, in fact, cannot be construed otherwise than a dependent policy and survile attitude. ��� The DPRK neither feels scared nor daunted by the desperate moves of the U.S. warmongers. We will return artillery fire for the u.s. imperialists' rifle fire. ��� If they fire an artillery piece, we will retaliate against this with a more powerful weapon. ��� The spirit of the Korean people and people's army is based on the most revolutionary and strongest anti-imperialist class-consciousness and self-confidence in the tremendous military means. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
