New dyeing method developed in DPRK
��� Pyongyang, September 6 (KCNA) -- Researchers of the textile institute
of the DPRK branch academy of light industrial science succeeded in
developing new dyeing method. This method involves a dyeing process of
letting knitting threads go through lather dye.

used in an ordinary dyeing process. It cuts down the dye consumption 50-60
per cent.

greatly diminish the dye content in the spent water and render its disposal
easier.

machine and a lathering device capable of dyeing a variety of threads.

Statement of spokesman for DPRK Foreign Ministry
��� Pyongyang, September 6 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign
Ministry today issued a statement to the press 56 years after the U.S.
troops occupied South Korea. The statement said:
��� On September 8,56 years ago, the U.S. troops occupied South Korea.
��� The United States, who had watched for a chance to invade Korea from
over a hundred years ago, occupied South Korea by force of arms allegedly
under the pretext of "disarming" the defeated Japanese army after the end of
the second world war.
��� If the U.S. troops had not been stationed in South Korea, the Korean
nation would not have sustained the tragedy of territorial and national
division under the constant threat of war for more than half a century.
��� All the patriotic efforts of the peace-loving DPRK government and people
to put an end to national division and achieve independent and peaceful
reunification of the country have not borne proper fruition due to the
obstructive moves of the U.S. troops since their military occupation of
South Korea.
��� The tough and hostile policy of the new U.S. administration towards the
DPRK is now further increasing the danger of the U.S. troops stationed in
South Korea.
��� The Bush administration defined the DPRK as "no. 1 enemy" and is
unilaterally forcing it to "reduce conventional force" in a bid to disarm
and stifle it by force of arms, instead of taking a practical measure to
withdraw its aggressor troops from South Korea without delay in conformity
with the mounting desire of the Korean nation for reunification and the
atmosphere of peace and detente on the Korean peninsula after the
announcement of the June 15 joint declaration.
��� The United States is vociferating in public about "resumption of
dialogue" without precondition with the DPRK, while extensively reinforcing
its armed forces in and around South Korea, modernizing them with up-to-date
equipment and staging war exercises against the DPRK one after another.
��� The arms buildup and war exercises corresponding to the U.S. military
presence in South Korea are now increasing arms race and the danger of war
in the Korean peninsula and northeast Asia.
��� This situation clearly proves that the U.S. troops stationed in South
Korea are a big obstacle to the improvement of inter-Korean and the
DPRK-U.S. relations and the smooth settlement of the issue of peace and
reunification on the Korean peninsula.
��� The present reality clearly shows that the U.S. troops stationed in
South Korea are the harasser of peace, the very one who keeps the nation
divided and the root cause of all misfortune and sufferings of the Korean
people.
��� The withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Korea is a pressing issue the
solution of which brooks no further delay for peace and security in the
Korean peninsula and northeast Asia.

Telephone message to chief delegate of S. Korea
��� Pyongyang, September 6 (KCNA) -- The head of the delegation of the
north side to the inter-Korean ministerial talks sent a telephone message to
the chief delegate of the south side. He in the message welcomed the south
side's positive response to the north side's constructive proposal to resume
the talks between the authorities of the north and south.
��� Agreeing to the south side's proposal to hold the 5th inter-Korean
ministerial talks side would render positive cooperation in making the talks
successfully proceed in the spirit of the June 15 joint declaration amidst
the nation's expectation and concern.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

construction, management and operation. He expressed great satisfaction at
the fact that soldier-builders built well the modern factory equipped with
up-do-date facilities in less than one year in the spirit of devoted service
for the people.
��� He then set forth highly important tasks which would serve as a
guideline in radically improving the standard of the people's diet through
the increased production of side-line foodstuffs including meat, eggs and
fish.
��� He called for displaying to the full the vitality of the existing
stockbreeding and fish breeding bases.
��� In order to boost productivity at the stockbreeding bases, he noted, it
is necessary to enhance the responsibility of leading officials of the
enterprises and put breeding on a scientific and technological basis so as
to give fullest play to the potentials of modern facilities.
��� He instructed the officials to consolidate the fodder bases to keep the
production at the chicken factories and stock farms going at a high level.
��� He also set forth tasks to be fulfilled to build more modern
stockbreeding and fish breeding bases.
��� He earnestly called on all fields and units to wage a mass movement to

affluent and modern as early as possible.

vana ilusion de japon
��� pyongyang, 6 de enero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en un
comentario de hoy advierte que llegan a la etapa muy temeraria las
maquinaciones de los reaccionarios japoneses encaminadas a realizar su
antiguo sueno de la "esfera de coprosperidad de la gran asia oriental". el
comentario senala:
��� recientemente la reunion de la seguridad estatal y la sesion del
gabinete del gobierno japones aprobaron oficialmente el "plan de arreglo del
poderio defensivo de medio plazo" para los 5 anos a partir del 2001 y
decidieron destinar para ello 25 billones 160 mil millones de yenes, es
decir 930 mil millones de yenes mas que el plan anterior.
��� durante el periodo del nuevo plan el gobierno japones se propone
emplazar los aviones nodriza, cazas "f-2" y otros armamentos de tipo nuevo,
formar las nuevas divisiones de las "fuerzas de autodefensa" terrestres,
crear las fuerzas armadas especiales y poseer la capacidad de cumplir la
guerra bioquimica.
��� el japon acelera su armamento nuclear y se entrega febrilmente al
complot dirigido a establecer el peligroso sistema "teatro de defensa
anti-misil", en contubernio con los estados unidos.
��� todo esto demuestra que los reaccionarios japoneses dan espuelas a sus
preparativos de nueva agresion a fin de realizar su antiguo sueno de la
"esfera de coprosperidad de la gran asia oriental".
��� el japon cumplio varios planes de aumento de fuerzas armadas agresivas.
ahora las fuerzas militares de este pais ocupan uno de los puestos
delanteros a nivel mundial.
��� los reaccionarios japoneses ya preparados en lo militar, economico y
politico para la guerra acechan codiciosamente la oportunidad de iniciar
accion militar para nueva agresion al ultramar. con esto tiene que ver su
vociferacion del "enfrentamiento al caso de emergencia en el contorno del
japon".
��� con este rotulo ellos pretenden ejercer sus fuerzas armadas en la
extensa region de asia para establecer la esfera de control militar y la
esfera de dominio.
��� para ello la peninsula coreana constituye un blanco real.
��� pero los reaccionarios japoneses aproximaran solo su autodestruccion al
tomar el camino de nueva agresion para resucitar su antiguo imperio.
