Rodong Sinmun on Japan's stand towards U.S. MD
��� Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- The Japanese foreign minister recently
said that Japan understands the necessity of the U.S. missile defense
program and there is no change in the stand of the Japanese government
towards it. In this regard Rodong Sinmun today carries a signed commentary,
which says:
��� It is unpardonable that Japan expressed "understanding" toward the U.S.
MD program which is being pushed forward under the unreasonable pretext of
"missile threat" from the DPRK.
��� Japan is chiming in with the U.S. MD program out of the deep-rooted
hostility towards the DPRK.
��� It is an unchangeable intention of the Japanese reactionaries to isolate
and stifle the DPRK in collaboration with the United States. Japan's joining
the United States in taking issue with the DPRK is an expression of the open
U.S.-toeing policy and an extension of the hostile policy towards the DPRK.
��� The Japanese authorities should know that it will favour Japan to live
with its own view.
��� If the Japanese authorities do not give up their habitual U.S.-toeing
stance, it will wreak havoc with Japan.
��� Japan's ambition to isolate and stifle the DPRK is an infeasible
illusion. Japan cannot approach the fast changing political situation with
its own view unless it gets rid of the U.S.-toeing stance.

What does U.S. missile aim at?
��� Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- The United States is trying to build an
interceptor missile base what it calls an experimental base in Alaska state.
Commenting on this, Minju Joson today says:
��� With a view to trying to justify its unreasonable act, the U.S. is now
spreading the fiction of "missile threat" from what it calls "rogue states"
including the DPRK. Its assertion is a sophism designed to cover up its
criminal purpose. The U.S. is the only one country that has the largest
number of nuclear arms and missiles in the world.
��� The missiles the U.S. is trying to intercept are not ours but the
missiles from other big countries that may attain superiority over its
strategic arms. It is trying to set up state-of-the-art missile defense so
as to disable strategic offensive weapons of those countries. It is the U.S.
ulterior intention to contain all elements lying in the way of its efforts
to carry out a strategy for world supremacy and use nuclear arms and
missiles unchallenged as it pleases.
��� Now that the U.S. tries to attain a sinister political, military
strategic purpose against the DPRK through the medium of missiles, the DPRK
is compelled to counter its moves with sharpened vigilance.
��� The U.S. has no reason and right to slander the self-defensive
countermeasure of the DPRK.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taedong River-crossing competition held
��� Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- A competition of Pyongyang school youth
and children for crossing the River Taedong was held yesterday on the
occasion of the youth day (August 28.) It brought together more than 1,500
boys and girls of senior middle schools selected from districts and counties
of the city.
��� They showed well their swimming techniques they have cultivated through
maritime sports activities in the modern indoor and outdoor swimming pools
across the city.
��� At the end of the competition prizes were awarded to the teams that
proved successful in it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. is stumbling block in way of Korea's reunification
��� Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- The United States is throwing a wet
blanket over the Korean nation's efforts to reunify the country
independently under the banner of the June 15 joint declaration and
persistently obstructing the reunification, while resorting to the
anachronistic hard line policy of confrontation. The U.S. administration is
keen to establish the missile defense system targeted against the Korean
peninsula and the DPRK, clamoring about theory of non-existent "threat from
the north."
��� Working hard to make the Korean peninsula an ignition point for a world
nuclear war, the U.S. is trying to deploy, first of all, two aegis equipped
with 30 latest interceptor missiles in the East Sea of Korea within one year
to one year and a half to come.
��� It is going to draw South Korea into its moves to establish the Missile
Defense system. After designating the DPRK as the "enemy no. 1" the U.S. is
running wild to achieve its aim of aggression at any cost while pulling up
the DPRK over the "issue of conventional weapons."
��� The U.S. is revealing its true color as the obstructer of independent
reunification of Korea and a cancer-like entity in the way of reunification
by further intensifying war maneuvers against the DPRK.
��� It is allocating 14 billion dollars every year for the upkeep of its
troops in South Korea for war.
��� The U.S. bellicose elements' criminal hostile policy toward the DPRK and
war maneuvers are no more than a foolish attempt to stem the trend of
history.

Over 870 civilians killed in Koje area
��� Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- It has been disclosed that killings of
civilians were committed three times in Koje area of South Kyongsang
Province from April 1949 to July 1950 in connection with the case of the
"converts federation" which was faked up under the pretext of helping those
with the leftist idea make ideological conversion, "protecting" and
"guiding" them and the number of the dead totaled 878, according to the
Yonhap News from Seoul. Jon Kap Saeng, researcher of the society for the
study of the modern history of South Kyongsang Province, at the inaugural
meeting of the "Koje society for the bereaved families of the civilians
killed before and after the Korean War" on August 21 made this assertion in
his paper published under the title "truth of Koje area."
��� At the meeting the Koje society of bereaved families and the South
Kyongsang regional meeting for the settlement of the issue of civilian
killings in the open questionnaire addressed to the Koje city authorities
and "assembly" demanded them build an office to prepare notices on the
civilian dead and form a special fact-finding committee of mass killings.

Korean children perform at East Asia Regional Children's Art Festival
��� Beijing, August 23 (KCNA) -- The East Asia Regional Children's Art
Festival was held in Beijing from august 21 to 23 under the sponsorship of
the UNESCO. Korean children's repertoire included chorus "Song of General
Kim Jong Il," a vocal quartet "Rainbow for Reunification" and a Kayagum solo
"Onghyeya." It truthfully represented the happy and cheerful children
studying and growing with nothing to envy in the world under the warm care
of leader Kim Jong Il.
��� Instructors of the art troupes of different countries and other
participants were deeply moved to see the performance. They said: "it is
fascinating. We saw the fantastic art." "The performance of the Pyongyang
Students Art Troupe made the audience wake from sleeping. This festival
seems to be a festival of the Pyongyang children."
��� The festival brought together children's art troupes from seven
countries and regions of East Asia including the DPRK, China, Mongolia and
Japan.

NDFSK will emerge victorious
��� pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- Papers here today dedicate articles to
the 32nd anniversary of the National Democratic Front of South Korea
(NDFSK), a patriotic vanguard representing the desire and will of the South
Korean people. The revolutionary party for reunification, the predecessor of
the NDFSK, was founded on August 25, Juche 58 (1969).
��� The South Korean revolutionists renamed the RPR the NDFSK on July 27,
Juche 74 (1985) and put forward a new fighting program and goal to meet the
demands of a new situation in which independence of the society is set afore
and anti-American spirit of the people became the irresistible trend in
South Korea in the wake of the Kwangju Popular Uprising in may 1980 and the
development of the party.
��� Rodong Sinmun in a signed article says:
��� With the emergence of the NDFSK the South Korean people came to have a
genuine representative and reliable political organisation that fights for
their desire and demand for independence and the social revolutionary
movement in South Korea was able to enter a new higher stage of its
development under the banner of Juche.
��� The NDFSK has creditably performed its mission it assumes on behalf of
the times and history. For this, it enjoys undisputed confidence and support
of broad segments of people. it is fully backed by political parties,
organisations and peoples of many countries around the world as well.
��� Minju Joson says more than three decades of the NDFSK were years in
which it has grown to be invincible and it brought new historic changes to
the movement for independence, democracy and reunification in South Korea.
