Kim Jong Il visits tropical catfish farm
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il on Tuesday
visited a tropical catfish plant built by
soldiers of the Korean People's Army.
KPA soldiers successfully built this plant on a highly scientific and
intensive basis in less than six months by fully
displaying the revolutionary spirit of soldiers.
Kim Jong Il inspected the outside and inside of the clean and cozy
plant, which looks like a scientific research
center, to acquaint himself with details of its construction and the
conditions of catfish breeding.
Looking round industrial fish breeding processes, he expressed great
satisfaction at the plant and highly
appreciated the feats of servicemen who built the wonderful fishing farm of
world standard in a short period with
devotion to the people.
Then he advanced highly important tasks which would serve as guideline
in developing tropical catfish breeding
on a large scale.
The experience of the plant, whose employees are no more than ten and
which is producing hundreds of tons of
tropical catfish in a year, clearly shows in practice that tropical catfish
is the best in realizing intensive fish breeding, he
said.
Our country has very favourable conditions for the breeding of tropical
catfish as it abounds in hot springs, he
said, and called for making an effective use of the existing ones, finding
out more sources of hot water and conducting
a powerful all-people movement for breeding tropical catfish.
In order to increase the production of tropical catfish, he noted, it
is important to put its production strictly on a
scientific basis. He urged the officials and working people in this field
to intensify scientific research into tropical
catfish and introduce an advanced breeding method in hearty response to the
idea of the Worker's Party of Korea on
attaching great importance to science.
It is imperative to solve the fish food problem our own way because a
brisk campaign for breeding tropical catfish
will be conducted in all parts of the country in the future, he said, and
called for finding and tapping all food resources
suited to the physiological characteristics of tropical catfish and
building a solid processing base.
He was accompanied by Jo Myong Rok, director of the KPA general
political department, Kim Yong Chun, chief
of the KPA general staff, Kim Il Chol, Minister of the People's Armed
Forces, KPA marshal Ri Ul Sol and KPA
generals.
He was also accompanied by secretaries of the WPK Central Committee Kim
Kuk Thae and Kim Yong Sun and
first vice department directors of the party central committee.
Kim Il Sung's idea of great national unity
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- The idea of great national unity propounded
by the President Kim Il Sung is a
precious asset and a fundamental cornerstone for the independent and
peaceful reunification of the country, says
Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
It goes on:
This can be explained by the fact that great national unity is a
prerequisite for the independent and peaceful
reunification of the country.
It guarantees national dignity and paves the way for shaping the
nation's destiny.
The cause of national reunification is the cause of independence to
establish the sovereignty of the Korean nation
nationwide and its driving force is the Korean nation.
Historic experience proves that a nation can achieve its independence
and sovereignty and defend them only when
it is firmly united. If the great unity of the entire nation is to be
achieved, it should rise above sense of confrontation
and win-loss concept.
It is of urgent necessity for national unity and reunification to make
a switchover from the relations of distrust and
confrontation between the north and south to those of confidence and
reconciliation.
The north and south should jointly pave the way for national
reunification by achieving concord and seeking
co-existence, co-prosperity and common interests on the basis of
recognizing each other's ideology and system.
All the members of the nation should attain its great unity from the
stand that they are of one and the same blood,
transcending the differences of idea, ideal, political view and system.
Only then is it possible to put an end to the
inter-Korean relations of confrontation, achieve national reconciliation
and unity and reunify the country peacefully.
This can also be explained by the fact that great national unity is the
core of the issue of national reunification.
Kim Il Sung made a most lucid clarification of the core of the issue of
national reunification by explaining the issue
as one of fully realising independence of the country and the nation and
achieving reconciliation and unity of the nation.
If the Korean nation is to preserve its identity as a homogeneous
nation with an ancient history and independently
shape its destiny, it should reunify the divided nation and win back its
dignity as a homogeneous nation.
This process will precisely lead to restoring the basic ways for the
existence and development of the nation and
realising national reunification.
The great unity of the entire nation serves as a basis of establishing
an independent and reunified state.
Kim Il Sung set forth the policy of reunifying the country by means of
founding the Democratic Confederal
Republic of Koryo, a unified state based on confederacy formula, with a
deep insight into the nation's historic
requirements for providing reasonable ways for reunification acceptable to
both the north and south under the actual
conditions where the two differing political systems, ideologies and
systems exist.
The reunification by confederacy formula presupposes tolerating and
recognizing the existence of the two systems
and governments in the north and south. Hence, great national unity serves
as a basis for this reunification.
Japanese moves to revise constitution
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- Kato, former secretary general of the
Japanese Liberal-Democratic Party, recently
said that in case the United Nations asks its member states to contribute
to the "UN peace-keeping activities
accompanied by military activities," "Japan should revise article 9 of the
constitution" to respond to it.
His remarks clearly show that Japan is trying hard to legalize the
overseas dispatch of the "Self-Defence Forces"
through which to pursue a sinister political purpose, says Minju Joson
today in a signed commentary.
It goes on:
With an ulterior intention Japan is scheming to amend article 9 of the
constitution which prohibits the use of armed
forces as a means of settling conflicts and collective military action.
The Japanese reactionaries are straining every nerve to make Japan a
warring state again to reinvade the Korean
peninsula and the rest of Asia and achieve their ambition for domination
over Asia which the Japanese imperial army
failed.
This is why they are trying to revise article 9 of the constitution, a
obstacle in expanding overseas the military
activities of the "Self-Defence Forces".
It is another purpose of the Japanese reactionaries to give an
impression that Japan contributes to world peace and
stability by taking an active part in the "UN peace-keeping activities" so
as to create a "favourable atmosphere" in
realizing their "ambition for becoming a political power."
U.S. nuclear attack plan disclosed
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- Tokyo Shimbun dated May 8 disclosed the
U.S. plan which was worked out in
the 1960s to stage a nuclear attack from the Japan proper in "event of
contingency" on the Korean peninsula and other
areas.
According to a document of the U.S. State Department recently obtained
by Kyodo, at that time the U.S. worked
out an operation plan to promptly introduce nukes from Okinawa
Into its military bases in Yokoda, Misawa and Idazuke of Japan and
stage from the Japan proper nuclear attack by
bombers on its surrounding countries in "emergencies" on the Korean
peninsula and other areas.
Under this plan the U.S. stationed in Kadena base eleven C-130
transport planes capable of carrying nuclear
weapons and built in those military bases installations to load nukes on 51
fighters and bombers of various types in
short time.
It proves that the U.S. had set the bases in Japan as sortie
springboard for a nuclear war, the paper said.
S. Korean students wage anti-U.S. demonstration
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- Over 20 members of the anti-U.S. national
salvation death-defying squads of
Korea University and other universities in South Korea reportedly thronged
into the U.S. embassy in Seoul yesterday
to stage a surprise demonstration.
They went into the embassy, holding a placard reading "Go home, GIs who
killed civilians during the June 25
Korean War" and chanting slogans such as "Punish the chief culprits for the
Kwangju bloodbath and massacres of
civilians in the Korean War."
On the second floor of the embassy building they scattered at least 300
handbills contending that the U.S. was a
behind-the-scene manipulator of the Kwangju bloodbath, and chanted fighting
slogans.
S. Korea's possession of chemical weapons disclosed
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- It has been brought to light that the "ROK"
army has possessed a considerable
number of chemical weapons, the "CBS" of South Korea reported on May 9.
The number of South Korea's chemical weapons increased too much to be
stockpiled in the closely guarded
arsenal.
So, the authorities began scrapping chemical weapons at a factory built
in Yongdong, North Chungchong
Province, last year. The radio said this disclosed possession of chemical
weapons is expected to create a stir in the
international community.
Nevertheless, the authorities of South Korea, a possessor of chemical
weapons, are raising a hue and cry over
non-existent "chemical weapons" of the DPRK in a bid to cover up their crimes.
U.S. dangerous moves for biological and chemical war
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- The United States is getting ever more
undisguised in its moves for a biological
and chemical war in South Korea.
Recently the U.S. organized four new chemical units of the U.S. Army
under the second division and the 19th
theatre supporting command of the U.S. forces stationed in South Korea
under the pretext of "coping with" the
non-existent "threat of biological and chemical weapons" from the DPRK.
Meanwhile, all the soldiers of the U.S. forces in South Korea have been
inoculated with anthrax vaccine and gas
masks provided to them and the families of the U.S. embassy staff.
The U.S. has long prepared for a biological and chemical war on the
Korean peninsula.
During the Korean War (June 1950-july 1953) the U.S. aggressors
massacred Korean people by use of germ and
chemical weapons.
They dropped various types of bombs containing germs and poisonous gas
over 169 areas of the North Korea 804
times from January to March in 1952.
They dropped at least 15 million napalm bombs over North Korea during
the war.
After the war the U.S. forces sprayed at least 76,000 liters of
defoliant in the demilitarized zone along the Military
Demarcation Line, severely destroying ecological environment.
The U.S. and the South Korean authorities are colluding with each other
to escalate the development and
introduction of biological and chemical weapons in wanton violation of the
international law.
As a result, there are now scores of arsenals of biological and
chemical weapons and binary chemical weapons
massively stockpiled in South Korea.
All this goes to prove that the plan of the U.S. And South Korea for a
biological and chemical war is being put into
practice.
Self-reliance in national defence
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- The principle of self-reliance in national
defence is the justest one that helps all the
countries and nations aspiring after independence defend their independence
and sovereignty and solve all the military
affairs by their own efforts, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
The article goes on:
The President Kim Il Sung clarified that self-reliance in national
defence is inevitable for an independent and
sovereign state, thus providing a scientific and just guiding principle
which should be maintained in building an
independent and sovereign state for the first time in history.
Self-reliance in national defence helps all the countries and nations
aspiring after independence beat back all sorts
of aggression and subjugation of the imperialists and dominationists and
defend themselves from the enemies'
invasion.
To keep self-reliance in national defence is all the more urgent under
the present conditions where the imperialists'
moves of aggression and war have been undisguised.
The imperialists, taking advantage of the vanishment of their military
rival after the end of the cold war, are
intensifying their moves for aggression and domination over other countries
and nations more openly than ever before.
The progressive people of the world, who want independence and peace
and aspire after a new world free from
exploitation and oppression, should put into practice the principle of
self-reliance in national defence and firmly fight
against the imperialist and dominationist forces.

preparativos de guerra bioquimica en fase peligrosa
pyongyang, 10 de mayo (atcc) -- en surcorea se tornan mas abiertas las
conjuras de ee.uu. encaminadas a desatar
la guerra bioquimica.
ee.uu. acabo de formar cuatro unidades de combate quimico de la fuerza
terrestre bajo la egida de su division no. 2
ocupante de sudcorea y su comandancia de apoyo al teatro no. 19 so pretexto
de "enfrentar" a la "amenaza de ataque de
armas bioquimicas" de la rpd de corea.
por otra parte se ofrecio la vacuna anti-carbunco a las unidades
norteamericanas ocupantes de sudcorea y se
suministro careta antigas a familiares de sus efectivos y su embajada.
ya hace mucho tiempo que ee.uu. trato de desatar en la peninsula
coreana la guerra bioquimica.
en el periodo de la pasada guerra coreana de junio de 1950 a julio de
1953 ee.uu. se valio de armas bacteriologicas
y quimicas para asesinar a muchos coreanos.
de enero a marzo de 1952 arrojo arbitrariamente en 804 ocasiones toda
clase de bombas bacteriologicas y de gas
toxico sobre 169 regiones de la parte norte de la republica.
en el periodo de la guerra coreana ee.uu. uso mas de 15 millones de
bombas de napalm.
despues de la guerra ee.uu. hizo pulverizar en la zona desmilitarizada
de la linea de demarcacion militar de corea
mas de 76 mil litros de defoliante llamada "arma del diablo" y asi destruyo
despiadadamente el habitat.
los ee.uu. y las autoridades surcoreanas se confabulan para dar
espuelas a la explotacion e introduccion de armas
bioquimicas en flagrante violacion al derecho internacional.
hoy en sudcorea hay decenas de arsenales de armas bioquimicas y un
sinnumero de armas quimicas binarias que
igualan a las nucleares en la efectividad.
todos los hechos prueban que la preparacion de la guerra bioquimica de
ee.uu. y sudcorea se promueve en la fase
peligrosa.
