Kim Jong Il gives on-the-spot guidance to newly-built chicken factory
Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il yesterday
gave on-the-spot
guidance to chicken factory no. 112 built by servicepersons.
The factory with a total floor space of more than 25,000 square metres
is a state-of-the-art factory
equipped with the latest facilities ranging from chicken feed processing to
feeding, water supply, hatching,
production of chicken meat and eggs, lighting and temperature and humidity
regulation of chicken-house.
People's army soldiers finished with credit the difficult and vast
project in less than one year,
demonstrating once again the revolutionary spirit of soldiers of the heroic
KPA.
Kim Jong Il, much pleased to see the factory successfully constructed
by soldier-builders in a short span
of time, highly appreciated their feat and extended thanks to them.
He said that chicken factory no. 112 was qualitatively built on such a
high level that it would win the
admiration of posterity, adding that the noble patriotic devotion of
soldier-builders to the country and people
was, indeed, praiseworthy.
He put forward detailed tasks to be carried out to manage and operate
the factory, such as building up the
factory better and keeping the production at a high rate at an early date.
He said chicken factories, duck factories and cattle farms as modern as
this chicken factory were built or
now under construction in hearty response to the party's intention to
provide the people and servicepersons
with a sufficient amount of meat and eggs and that the existing
stock-breeding bases should put breeding on a
scientific and technological basis to steadily increase the production and
factories now under construction
should be successfully completed as edifices of eternal value to pass a
prosperous socialist homeland on to
posterity.
He said in recent years modern stock-breeding bases, catfish farms and
fish farms with high productivity
have been built in different parts of the country to prove their worth and
if pig and duck factories based on the
latest science and technology are built in addition to them it is possible
to provide the army and people with a
rich diet.
Underscoring the need to bring about a revolutionary change in
stock-breeding so as to enable the people
to have as good diet as others', he proposed concrete tasks to be fulfilled.
He earnestly instructed that all domains and units should develop
stock-breeding on a large scale through
a vigorous mass movement to provide the people with a more affluent and
cultured life.
He was accompanied by Kim Kuk Thae, secretary of the WPK Central
Committee= Pak Song Bong,
first vice department director of the WPK Central Committee= and generals
of the KPA Hyon Chol Hae and
Pak Jae Gyong.

reunification on October 26.
In the statement he said that the President Kim Il Sung saw to it that
the July 4 north-south joint statement
was published and set forth the most reasonable and realistic policies and
proposals for reunification
including the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of
Koryo and the 10-point programme
of the great unity of the whole nation.
The great leader Kim Jong Il formulated the principles, proposal and
ways for national reunification
advanced by Kim Il Sung as the three-point charter of national

S. Korean Red Cross President's mud-slinging at DPRK
Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- The President of the Red Cross of South
Korea who visited
Pyongyang at the head of the first batch of separated families and
relatives of the south side was reported to
have let loose extremely provocative outbursts against the DPRK, its
dialogue partner, at a recent interview
with the South Korean magazine "Monthly Korea."
The central committee of the Red Cross Society of the DPRK issued a
statement Friday assailing his
remarks.
At the interview he let loose such slanderous words that Pyongyang
"remained stagnant instead of
making progress" over the last decade, visitors from the south "changed
their clothes almost everyday" but
northerners "went in the same dresses all the time" and "it will be the
north not the south that will lose when
exchange gets under way," etc.
He went the length of maliciously vilifying even the dignified
political system in the north by talking
rubbish that "reunion of separated families was a mirror of heterogeneity
between the south and the north and
qualities of their systems," "there is no freedom in the north" and people
in the north "live in an oppressive
atmosphere in a tightly controlled society."
He in the capacity of the President of the Red Cross dared to use the
exchange of the hometown visiting
groups of separated families and relatives in the anti-DPRK smear campaign.
This is an intolerable challenge and mockery of the DPRK from the
humanitarian and compatriotic point
of views.
The statement continues:
The central committee of the DPRK Red Cross Society bitterly denounces
his provocative interview as an
anti-national deed of going against the June 16 joint declaration and a
separatist move intended to bring the
north-south relations back to those of confrontation.
The deeds of the President of the South Korean Red Cross have thrown an
unpredictable, grave obstacle
to settling the humanitarian issues between the north and the south.
In the name of the nation we cannot but settle accounts with him who
spoke for the ultra right-wing
forces preoccupied by the conception of anti-north confrontation by
slandering the north and taking issue with
its political system.
We are merciless in dealing with the provocateurs.
We will not talk with him who did what a Red Cross official should not
do, considering it hard to settle
such humanitarian issues as alleviating misfortune and sufferings of
separated families and relatives as long
as he stays in his office.
The north side will have to reexamine the immediate exchange of
visiting groups of separated families
and relatives and the future inter-Korean Red Cross talks.
Adherence to principle of national independence called for
Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- The Worker's Party of Korea's principle
of reunifying the country
independently is a fundamental one governing the solution of the issue of
national reunification, says Rodong
Sinmun today in a signed article.
Noting that the principle of national independence is a core issue of
settling the national problem, the
article says: It is because national independence is what keeps the nation
alive and it is a fundamental
guarantee for the nation's existence and development to protect independence.
The article goes on:
Only when the principle of national independence is maintained, is it
possible to preserve the Juche
character and national identity and carve out the destiny of the nation
according to its desire and will.
By doing so it is also possible for the nation to fully exercise its
sovereignty in the international arena and
develop external relations on the principle of complete equality and mutual
benefit.
In order to settle the issue of Korea's reunification it is essential
to settle the issue of national
reunification independently on the principle of national self-determination.
The principle of national independence serves as a basis of the great
unity of the nation and a touchstone
distinguishing patriotism from treachery and the line of reunification from
that of division.
The north-south joint declaration is a declaration of national
independence which calls for solving the
issue of national reunification by the concerted efforts of our nation
responsible for its settlement.
A wide avenue will be paved for the independent and peaceful
reunification of the country if the north
and south join efforts to sincerely implement the joint declaration on the
principle of national independence.
No force on earth can check magnetic power of socialist idea
Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Socialist idea is invincible while
bourgeois idea is bound to go to
ruin and no force on earth can check the magnetic power of the socialist
idea, says Rodong Sinmun today in a
signed article.
It goes on:
The socialist idea meant to meet the interests of the broad popular
masses calls for enabling all people to
lead a free, equal and dignified life and ensuring the independent
development of all the countries and nations
free from all sorts of domination and subjugation.
The process of the development of history has already clearly proved
that the bourgeois idea can never
check the magnetic power of the socialist idea, the article says, adding
that history after the second world war
was a history of the victory of socialism.
The socialist countries achieved social-economic progress in a
historically short span of time which
would take capitalism hundreds of years.
The world socialist movement is advancing on a new track of development
overcoming temporary crisis.
Road to socialism leads to national prosperity. It is only socialism
that will enable developing countries
building new societies to clear away the consequences of the imperialists'
colonial domination and achieve
national prosperity.
The fact that more than 250 parties have signed the Pyongyang
declaration goes to prove that the socialist
idea alone reflects the desire and demand of progressive humankind.
The reality in the DPRK where man-centred socialism displays its
tremendous vitality is a striking
demonstration of the invincibility of the socialist idea.
World closely watches Japan's attitude
Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Japan's denial of its past crimes goes
to prove that it has not yet
given up its militarist viewpoint and aggressive idea but seeks to realize
its ambition to dominate Korea and
the rest of Asia, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
Accusing Japan of deliberately linking the settlement of its past with
the "issue of kidnapping," the article
says:
The Japanese government is shameless enough to keep mum about Japan's
hideous crimes of walking
away so many Koreans by force and kidnapping them in the past and working
hard to twist the relations
between the DPRK, the victim, and Japan, the assailant, persistently
raising a hue and cry over the
"suspected kidnapping" by the DPRK. Lurking behind this is a sinister
political aim.
The Japanese government seeks to play down its past crimes and drag out
the settlement of its past for an
indefinite period in a bid to wrest sort of concession from the DPRK.
It is the core of the issue of settling its past for Japan to make an
official apology and take steps to
compensate for its crimes.
It is the only way for Japan to improve the peculiar DPRK-Japan
relations fundamentally different from
those between Japan and other countries to officially apologize and
compensate for its past crimes.
Japan's redress for its past crimes should lead to its renouncement of
its hostile policy towards the
DPRK.
Over the last scores of years since the end of the war Japan has
pursued this policy towards the DPRK.
In fact, this is crimes committed by Japan against Korea at present to
add to its past crimes.
Japan's hostile policy towards the DPRK was prompted by its intention
to repeat its past history of
aggression. That is why Japan is dragging out the settlement of its past
crimes, negating its past aggression
under this or that pretext.
Recalling that those countries, who were once hostile to the DPRK, are
opting to improve relations with
it, taking the positive developments on the Korean peninsula into
consideration, the article notes:
The DPRK has a will to improve relations with Japan, but it will never
allow Japan to persistently evade
the settlement of its past crimes and embark upon reinvasion. This is the
steadfast and invariable stand and
will of the DPRK.
Japan is well advised to bear in mind that its future will depend on
its sincere apology and compensation
for its past crimes and halt to its hostile policy towards the DPRK.
Scientific achievements in DPRK
Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Scientists and technicians of the DPRK
have made successes in
developing ultra-modern technology.
The Academy of Sciences recently finished the research into over 100
kinds of IC (integrated circuit)
masks, perfected the IC version system and manufactured
ultramicrocontrolled IC and various kinds of
memory cells.
It also developed light source of laser figure oscillator, the main
equipment in the procession of
manufacturing ic mask, which is available in the domain of ultra-modern
technology such as information
procession, phototelegraphy, laser print and spectrochemical analysis.
Meanwhile, success was made in broadening silicon monocrystal of a
certain style by introducing the
mathematical model technology. This makes it possible to annually provide a
large quantity of some materials
for integrated circuit.
Scientists of the Hamhung branch of the academy were the first to
develop sensitive materials for IC.
This achievement has laid foundations for further developing the technology
of manufacturing ICs with
locally available raw materials.
Those at the building materials branch of the academy developed the
third dimensional program whereby
to design all of the main blueprints of a building by computer.
Scientists in the domain of cell and genetic engineering succeeded in
producing a large quantity of human
somatotropin with microorganism by a genetic engineering method.
Besides, they attained the new technology of producing anti-body
monoclone by an immunological
method and are making successes in developing materials needed for the
study of the genetic engineering as
well as in research into various kinds of biomolecules.
