Rodong Sinmun calls for greeting February holiday with signal exploits
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today editorially calls
upon all the members of the
Workers' Party of Korea and other working people to turn out in the work to
greet the birthday of Kim Jong Il,
February 16, with signal feats. The editorial titled "Let's demonstrate the
spirit of Juche Korea with pride of having
the great leader" notes that we should speed up a general advance to build
a powerful socialist nation, firmly
convinced that our leader is the greatest and we will win a brilliant
victory only when we follow the party and the
leader.
Referring to the pride and self-confidence of the Korean people blessed
with the great leaders Kim Il Sung and
Kim Jong Il, the editorial says: The courage of the Korean people who
openly say what they wish to do no matter
what others may say and their faith in certain victory that they can surely
build a powerful nation on their own
efforts are based on their conviction of the greatness of Kim Jong Il.
The Korean people are shaping their destiny on the strength of his
ever-victorious revolutionary idea, it says,
and goes on:
It is thanks to his great idea and line that today all work goes well
in the DPRK and its people are consistently
advancing along the road of victory without the slightest deviation in the
revolution and construction.
He is a man of distinguished calibre. this calibre firmly convinces the
Korean people that there is nothing
impossible for them in the world and they can defeat any formidable enemy.
Underscoring the need to deepen the absolute worship for him on the
occasion of the February holiday, the
editorial continues:
The hearts of the party members and other working people should swell
only with the faith that he is the greatest
in terms of idea, leadership and virtues. A people highly proud of their
party and their leader would never look up to
others and follow others' mode.
We should become absolute advocates of his revolutionary ideas and
faithful personifiers of his work method.
We should defend our political system, our economic structure and our way
of life without the slightest vacillation
no matter what others may say.
Our situation still remains difficult. But, we should be bold enough to
pull through manifold ordeals and
difficulties with the will and faith in certain victory.
The editorial calls for fully displaying in the present-day second
great Chollima advance the mettle of the Korean
communists to make a breakthrough towards victory with fortitude.
Over 180 espionage flights
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. warmongers committed over 180
cases of aerial espionage
against the DPRK in January, according to military sources. Involved in
them were strategic and tactical
reconnaissance planes of various types, including strategic reconnaissance
planes "U-2" and "RC-135", tactical
reconnaissance planes "RC-12" and "RF-4c", an electronic warfare helicopter
"EH-60", a patrol plane "P-3" and
early-warning plane "E-3".
These planes made sorties from their bases in Japan and abroad. Flying
over the area along the Military
Demarcation Line and over the east and west coasts of Korea, including
Chunchon, Yangyang and Kanghwa island,
the planes carried out aerial photographing and electronic reconnaissances
of the objects along the frontline and in
coastal areas and the depth of the DPRK.
Cave-in of subway under construction in South Korea
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- A cave-in took place at a subway
construction site in Taegu on January 22,
a radio report from Seoul said. On the early morning of the day a passing
bus fell down 30 metres by the cave-in,
leaving some of the passengers dead. Before the accident taxi drivers
informed the subway management side seven
times that the ground of the construction site would fall down, but the
management side and the city authorities
turned a deaf ear to the warnings, said the radio.
The radio noted the accident proved the authorities incapable of
providing against the accident, which is a "joint
work" between the South Korean authorities and the business side.
Democratic Labour Party founded in S. Korea
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- The Democratic Labour Party was founded
in South Korea on January 30,
according to a radio report from Seoul. The party in its inaugural
declaration said that it will liquidate corrupt politics
and gangland-style politics as the party representing the "marginalized
social groups" such as workers, peasants and
the poor.
Kwon Yong Gil, one-time chairman of the (South) Korean Confederation of
Trade Unions and the "National
Federation of Press Trade Unions," was elected its chairman at the
inaugural meeting.
He said that the party set itself the goal of fighting for the repeal
of the "security law" and struggle against the
lay-off system and he will hit it.
Present at the inaugural meeting were over 3,000 party members and
progressive party officials from Japan and
other countries.
Escalating campaign for defeating candidates in S. Korea
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- The Citizens' Solidarity for General
Elections (CSGE) is escalating the
campaign for defeating "national assembly" candidates in different areas
and sectors, according to a radio report
from Seoul. The Christian youth council under the CSGE called a press
conference on January 26 and decided to
establish citizens' indictment centres for classifying the objects of the
campaign in more than 50 regional
organizations.
The Inchon action solidarity put four "assemblymen" on the list of
those candidates to be defeated and
announced it. The citizen's city solidarity for political reform in Kwangju
and other regional organizations are
classifying disqualified candidates.
Environmental and women organizations and singers are joining in the
campaign. Meanwhile, the bar
association for democratic society organized a large lawyers' group on Jan.
28 to support the campaign of the CSGE
and other civil and public organizations and started its activities.
Saying that people should no longer be barred from being involved in
politics by the reactionary "election law,"
the organization declared that it would render all possible juridical
support to the campaign to make it successful.
GIs' crimes against humanity
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- The GIs' massacres during the Korean
War have become the focus of the
world's mass media. They have disclosed unheard-of mass killings by the GIs
in South Korea during the Korean
War one after another terming them extra-large crimes against humanity.
In recent few months alone, over 40 cases of mass killings have been
disclosed. In September last year, the
Associated Press disclosed the fact that the U.S. troops killed more than
400 civilians in Rogun-ri, Yongdong
county, North Chungchong Province, in July 1950.
It was also recently disclosed that they killed and buried in water
hundreds of citizens by exploding a bridge in
Waegwan town, North Kyongsang Province, murdered more than 1,800 "political
prisoners" in Taejon prison and
threw napalm bombs into a cave in Sang-ri, Yongchun-myon, Tanyang county,
North Chungchong Province, in
January 1951 and thus killed more than 300 citizens who took shelter there.
In Suji-myon of Ryongin city and in Munsan town of Phaju city of
Kyonggi Province and other areas citizens
fell victim to the U.S. troops' air raid operation conducted in the name of
"mosquito."
In one year after the start of the war more than one million people
were killed in South Korea.
The GIs also killed people in the northern half of Korea, too, where
they occupied temporarily during the war.
In Sinchon county, South Hwanghae Province, the U.S. imperialist
aggressors killed in cold blood more than
35,000 people, or a quarter of the county population, during over 50 days.
This massacre put even crimes committed by the Hitler fascists in the
concentration camp during the Second
World War into shade.
They killed more than one million citizens in different parts of the
northern half of Korea including 15,000 in
Pyongyang and 19,000 in Anak county.
The U.S. imperialists began to murder Koreans from 1866.
The Americans who sailed along the River Taedong on pirate ship
"General Sherman" at that time killed scores
of innocent people in areas around Pyongyang.
The South Korean people have turned out in an active anti-U.S.
struggle, mindful that the U.S. imperialists
who occupied South Korea under the mask of "liberator" and "aid donor" are
the sworn enemy of the Korean
nation.

Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- The 32nd Cairo international book
exhibition was open in Cairo on January

South Koreans defect to north
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- South Korean Ri Chol Ho, 43, and his
daughter Ri Son Mi, 12, came over
to the northern half of Korea a few days ago. He was born in Todok-ri,
Ryongsong-myon, Kyongsan city, North
Kyongsang Province.
He graduated from primary and middle schools in his native place before
serving in the "ROK" army. He made
taxi service in Seoul before coming over to the north.
Speaking of the motive of his defection, he said that he worked hard
with a hope for a better life, but it turned
out to be a daydream as money decides everything in the unfair South Korean
society.
I had a number of opportunities to know well that the north is a true
happy society where popular politics is
pursued and everyone enjoys happiness, he noted.
He resolved to come over to the north not only for his happiness but
for the sound spiritual and moral education
of his daughter and succeeded in coming over to the north, taking advantage
of his foreign tour.
