Five-storey pagoda at Jahye Temple
��� Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- Among many Korean historical relics is the
five-storey Pagoda at the Jahye temple, evidence showing the resourcefulness
of the medieval Koreans. The stone Pagoda remains in the yard of the Jahye
temple, whose construction dates back to the period of Koryo dynasty
(918-1392), in Sowon-ri, Sinchon county, South Hwanghae Province in the
middle of Korea.
��� It consists of a pedestal in two tiers, a tier of stereobate, a
five-storey tower body and the top. It is 5.94 metres high.
��� In every side of the lower part of the stereobate, there are three
hollows.
��� Square pillar is projecting from the main body of the stereobate and
each storey of the tower. The first storey is decorated with sculpture.
��� At each centre of its both northern and southern sides is a lock and on
both sides of the lock are the images of the two deva kings, the guardian
gods of Buddhism.
��� The sculpture is delicate and refined.
��� The cap is thin and the eaves are protruding comparatively long, which
makes it look large and light. At their corners are holes used for hanging
bells.
��� The design of the five-storey tower which becomes narrow going upward
gives an admirable symmetrical effect and its cutting was done daintily with
polished engraving. This pagoda has every claim to be described as one of
the excellent stone pagodas in the early period of Koryo.

sofisma de japon, comentario de atcc
��� pyongyang, 19 de marzo (atcc) -- el dia 15, saito, director general de
la agencia de defensa del japon embellecio en una sesion de la dieta
japonesa el papel de las "fuerzas de autodefensa". el dijo que "hoy en que
se eleva la esperanza de la sociedad internacional en el japon, la agencia
de defensa y las fuerzas de autodefensa se responsabilizan de la paz y la
estabilidad no solo del japon sino tambien de la sociedad internacional".
��� la "esperanza" de la sociedad internacional en el japon es la absurda
palabreria y una burla e insulto a la sociedad internacional.
��� en particular, su pretencion de que las "fuerzas de autodefensa" del
japon que sirven de "brigada de choque" para el cumplimiento de la
estrategia mundial agresiva del imperialismo norteamericano son defensoras
de la "paz y la estabilidad de la sociedad internacional" constituye un
descarado sofisma.
��� el japon no tiene calificacion de hablar de la "paz y la estabilidad".
es el perturbador de la paz y la estabilidad. hoy la sociedad internacional
demanda energicamente al japon que haga la estricta reflexion, disculpa e
indemnizacion por sus actos criminales cometidos en el pasado y ponga fin a
sus maquinaciones militaristas para nueva agresion.
��� recientemente lo que se revela mas abiertamente en las maquinaciones de
resurgimiento militarista es el aumento armamentista, reforzamiento de
armamento de las "fuerzas de autodefensa", operacion ultramarina y
movimiento para envio de efectivos al ultramar.
��� a fin de ocultar tales preparativos para la nueva agresion los
gobernantes reaccionarios y belicistas militaristas del japon hablan de "paz
y la estabilidad de la sociedad internacional", y el director general de la
agencia de defensa se pone a la delantera de esta demagogia.
��� pero, por tal sofisma no se dejan enganar corea y el resto de asia y la
sociedad internacional porque no se olvidan de la pasada historia agresiva
del japon.
��� los reaccionarios japoneses deben poner fin a su grosera trompeta de
"paz" enderezada a ocultar su ambicion agresiva y liquidar cuanto antes sus
crimenes cometidos en el pasado ante corea y los demas paises de asia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
no debe subestimar a su rival
��� pyongyang, 19 de marzo (atcc) -- el pueblo y el ejercito de corea
observan con aguda vigilancia los movimientos militares de ee.uu. y sus
actos provocativos y tienen la firme decision de librar la batalla decisiva
contra ee.uu. si este recurre de continuo a la politica de fuerza militar y
de aplastamiento contra la rpdc en vez de sacar lecciones de su derrota
sufrida en el pasado en corea.
��� la historia recuerda frescamente el milagro que corea que es un pais
pequeno creo en la pelea contra ee.uu. que se jactaba de la supremacia
mundial.
��� la guerra coreana de la decada de los 50, los incidentes del barco
"pueblo" y el avion de espia "ec - 121" de la decada de los 60, el
"incidente de phanmunjom" de la decada de los 70, el alboroto de "inspeccion
nuclear" y el "caso de derribo del helicoptero" de la decada de los 90 ...
��� despues del fin de la guerra fria, ee.uu. desato el alboroto de
"inspeccion nuclear" a fin de doblegar a la rpdc acusandola del "problema
nuclear".
��� insinuo que en el caso de la desobediencia de la rpdc a la demanda de
ee.uu. este le ejerceria la fuerza como en irak y le forzo a obedecer
docilmente a su demanda bandidesca sobre la inspeccion nuclear. pero, la
rpdc la rechazo categoricamente. las relaciones rpdc - ee.uu. llegaron al
estado de extrema tension. se creo una situacion critica en que pudiera
estallar la segunda guerra coreana.
��� la atencion del mundo se dirigio a la peninsula coreana.
��� las personas del mundo dijeron: obedecer corea a la demanda de ee.uu. o
estallar la guerra. pero, en la peninsula coreana ocurrio un fenomeno que
volco la imaginacion de ellas.
��� en marzo de 1993 fue proclamado el estado de alerta de guerra por la
orden del comandante supremo del ejercito popular de corea y publicada la
declaracion del gobierno de la rpdc de retirarse del tratado de no
proliferacion nuclear.
��� todo el pueblo coreano se levanto con el fusil en sus manos.
��� " con la intransigencia a la intransigencia ", esta fue la voluntad del
ejercito y pueblo de corea.
��� posteriormente ee.uu. no pudo evitar fracaso en sus reiteradas
maquinaciones de aplastamiento militar contra la rpdc.
��� ahora, ee.uu., pese a estas lecciones historicas, toma el camino del
enfrentamiento frontal con la rpdc. pero el pueblo coreano no se asusta.
��� los imperialistas norteamericanos deben evaluar correctamente a su rival
antes de arrojarse a este.
��� hoy corea tiene fuerzas mas poderosas que antes.
��� el pueblo y el ejercito de corea cuentan con la direccion del gran
general kim jong il, genial e invencible comandante simpar, dispuesto de la
ferrea voluntad, audacia y destacada inteligencia. por eso podemos derrotar
a cualesquier enemigos poderosos.
��� los imperialistas norteamericanos deben enfriar su cabeza calentada por
la locura de guerra y evaluar correctamente a su rival.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
hay que lograr cooperacion entre coreanos
��� pyongyang, 19 de enero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong simun" en el numero
de hoy inserto un articulo individual senalando que la nacion coreana debe
tomar el principio de la independencia nacional por el principio fundamental
para el logro de la reunificacion y mantener la posicion de cooperar no con
las fuerzas foraneas sino entre los compatriotas. el articulo continua:
��� la declaracion conjunta norte-sur del 15 de junio es la bandera comun de
la nacion que todos los coreanos deben enarbolar para la reunificacion de la
patria, porque ella constituye una declaracion de independencia,
reunificacion pacifica y gran unidad nacional basada en los tres principios
por la reunificacion de la patria y un jalon para esta causa suprema
nacional.
��� se lograra sin duda alguna la reunificacion de la patria cuando se
ejecute estrictamente dicha declaracion que exige solucionar de manera
independiente el problema de reunificacion del pais con las fuerzas propias
de los coreanos que son duenos de esta causa nacional.
��� hoy la actitud sobre la declaracion conjunta norte-sur es la actitud
sobre el problema de la reunificacion de la patria y la norma que distingue
el patriotismo de la traicion a la patria. todas las personas quienes
aspiran a la reunificacion no deben vacilar ni eludir ni obstaculizar la
labor de apoyarla y ejecutarla.
��� para ejecutar cabalmente dicha declaracion son importantes la
responsabilidad y el papel de las autoridades y politicos.
��� estos deben ser mas firme que nadie en el espiritu de la independecia
nacional. no deben apoyarse en las fuerzas foraneas sino en las fuerzas
propias de la nacion. deben lograr la cooperacion no con las fuerzas
foraneas sino entre los compatriotas.
��� no deben perseguir, so pretexto de "seguridad", la cooperacion militar
con las fuerzas foraneas contra la misma nacion.
��� toda la nacion coreana es el sujeto de la solucion del problema de la
reunificacion de la patria y las masas populares de distintos sectores del
norte y el sur son encargados del movimiento de esta gran empresa nacional.
��� todos los coreanos, sin distinguir el norte del sur, las autoridades de
los civiles y las fuerzas en poder de las de oposicion, deben ser duenos en
la ejecucion de la historica declaracion conjunta norte-sur del 15 de junio.
