Kim Jong Il visits military dog training camp of Ministry of People's
Security
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, supreme commander of the
Korean People's Army, inspected a military dog training camp under the
Ministry of People's Security on Thursday. Accompanying him were vice
marshal of the KPA Ri Yong Mu, secretary of the c.c., Workers' Party of
Korea Kim Kuk Thae, KPA generals Ri Myong Su and Hyon Chol Hae and others.
��� After being briefed on the work of the camp, Kim Jong Il went round
cages of dogs to learn in detail about their breeding.
��� What is very important in breeding military dogs is to thoroughly
establish a system of producing pedigreed terriers and, at the same time,
ensure the feed supply and the veterinary and anti-epizootic system, he
said, indicating the orientation and ways for doing so.
��� Then, he saw military dogs in training and put forth tasks to be carried
out to intensify their drill.
��� He also acquainted himself with the work for people's security and
advanced highly important tasks for further improving the work of people's
security organs in keeping with the requirements of the developing
situation.
��� Our socialist motherland is impregnable as the heroic KPA, each of whose
soldiers is a match for a hundred, is firmly standing guard over the defence
line and the members of the people's security organs and the people's
security forces who are intensely loyal to the party and the revolution, are
reliably defending the security of the country and the people, he said.
��� He expressed the expectation and belief that all the security men would
stand firm at the outposts of the class struggle and devotedly work to
defend the gains of the revolution and the lives and property of the people,
deeply aware of their mission as servants faithful to the people.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaesong Schoolchildren's Palace
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- Kaesong, a city that borders the
Military Demarcation Line in central Korea, is home to renowned
Schoolchildren's Palace. The complex, with a total floorspace of 11,457
square metres, is well-equipped for pupils' after-school activities.
��� The pupils join groups of their choice at the palace, broadening their
knowledge and participating in sporting and artistic activities under the
able guidance of qualified teachers.
��� There are now 40 different groups including those of mathematics,
physics, computer studies and foreign languages.
��� With the support of the state, many of the graduates have gone on to
become big names in science and technology, sport and the arts. over the
past four decades, the palace has trained 1.25 million children.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
New elements of Koryo Insam discovered
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- Dr. U Je Duk of the biology branch of
academy of sciences' botany institute has shed light on new elements of
Koryo Insam (ginseng), adding to the 32 elements already discovered, through
his in-depth research, which relied on advanced methods and equipment. He
has identified three kinds of Saponin: Koryo Insam Saponin R1, R2 and R3,
and revealed their structures. Whether these ingredients are peculiar to
Koryo Insam under soil conditions of Korea and what part they play in the
special medicinal effect of the herb have yet to be discovered.
��� After separating the Saponins and studying their structures, the
researchers have produced a dozen standard products of Insam Saponin, a
quality criterion of Insam products.
��� They have also developed techniques for making anti-cancer Saponin from
Koryo Insam.
��� Koryo Insam contains Saponin which is potentially anti-cancerous, but
too inadequate in quantity to be effective.
��� By chemical and microbiological methods, the researchers have changed
the structure of the Saponin so that it is contained in relatively greater
proportion in the ginseng, enough to prove beneficial against cancer.
��� This achievement adds greatly to the popularity of Koryo Insam.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anniversary of foundation of factory college observed
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the
People's Palace of Culture yesterday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of
the foundation of the factory college. President Kim Il Sung visited no. 65
factory situated in Kunja-ri, Songchon county, South Phyongan Province, at
that time in February Juche 40 (1951) during the period of the Fatherland
Liberation War. There he unrolled a plan to establish a factory college for
workers in the place where they worked and lived and founded the factory
college on July 15 of the same year where workers might study while on the
job.
��� Over 50 years the number of factory colleges increased to more than a
hundred and they have produced a large number of engineers in their
respective fields and managerial officials.
��� Choe Thae Bok, secretary of the central committee of the Workers' Party
of Korea, said in a report that the past half-century covered by the factory
colleges has been glorious years which clearly proved in practice the
validity and advantages of the study-while-working higher educational
system.
��� He called on the officials in the field of education and the teachers
and students of the factory colleges to consolidate the factory colleges as
strong bases for the development of science and technology greatly
instrumental in building a powerful nation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan's anti-DPRK rumour refuted
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries are now
spreading anti-DPRK rumors while staging such a burlesque as analyzing the
possibility of what they call "large-scale terrorism" to be committed by the
DPRK against Japan. In this regard Minju Joson today says in a signed
commentary: This is a foolish trick which can be dreamed up only by the
Japanese reactionaries accustomed to exploiting other's misfortune for
attaining their foul aim.
��� This is nothing but a clumsy drama orchestrated by the Japanese
reactionaries to take advantage of the international situation getting daily
complicated in the wake of the large-scale terrorist attacks on the united
states for attaining their foolish aim to tarnish the DPRK's prestige and
calm down international protest and condemnation of their wartime
atrocities.
��� The DPRK's prestige is rising in the international area as the days go
by.
��� This cannot but be a telling blow to the Japanese reactionaries because
they regard the anti-DPRK hostile policy as their state policy and are
desperately pursuing it.
��� They are keen to undercut the DPRK's prestige at any cost and justify
their policy.
��� The DPRK will not pardon them for getting feverish in their anti-DPRK
campaign, groundlessly pulling it up.
��� Their desperate moves to infringe upon the DPRK's dignity and
sovereignty compel it to strongly react to them.
��� They are well advised to give up at once such a foolish farce as
inviting disasters and beg the DPRK to pardon them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rodong Sinmun on guiding idea in era of independence
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed
article titled "founding of guiding idea in era of independence" says that
President Kim Il Sung founded the Juche idea, the guiding idea in our era,
and leader Kim Jong Il has steadily developed and enriched it. The president
was the most outstanding thinker and theoretician in the era of
independence, it says, and goes on:
��� The president founded the Juche idea with a deep insight into the
requirements of the new era in which the popular masses, once oppressed and
humiliated, emerged as the master of their destinies. He thus put the
people's struggle for independence on a new higher stage and ushered in a
new era, the era of independence in the development of human history.
��� The Juche idea has been embodied in the Korean revolution to bring about
a fundamental turn in the destiny of the country and the nation. The great
epoch-making role played by the Juche idea for the country and the
revolution and in the cause of global independence in the 20th century
cannot stand comparison with any revolutionary idea of the working class.
��� The president's revolutionary idea and theory are not only of
encyclopedic significance but completely original ideas and theories as they
are new discoveries.
��� The new ideas and theories comprehensively propounded by him include the
theory on the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution, the
original theory of the socialist revolution on transforming relations of
production on socialist lines prior to technical reconstruction and the
theory on the three revolutions, ideological, technical and cultural. All
this could not be found in the preceding revolutionary ideas and theories of
the working class.
��� The socialist construction has made a victorious advance along the
unique road of development in Korea entirely because he advanced the
original revolutionary ideas and theories and led the work to apply them.
��� When people uphold his revolutionary ideas and theories they can solve
any problem arising in revolutionary practice in the era of independence.
This is the truth proven in the revolutionary struggle of the 20th century.
��� His famous works, a library of the Juche idea, have been published in
over 60 languages in more than 100 countries and disseminated there. This
clearly shows how outstanding his ideological and theoretical exploits are.
��� These immortal ideological and theoretical wealth created by the
president, the wealth no other man could ever do, would have been
unthinkable without his natural gift and outstanding activities as a thinker
and theoretician.
��� Kim Jong Il has always exerted his utmost efforts to defend and exalt
the revolutionary ideas of the president in the whole course of his
revolutionary activities.
��� After the president's demise, Kim Jong Il put up the slogan "Let us
thoroughly arm ourselves with the revolutionary idea of the great leader
comrade Kim Il Sung" and has since worked heart and soul to exalt the idea.
��� The ideological and theoretical activities conducted by Kim Jong Il in
the 90s are so outstanding that they can hardly be found in the biography of
any great man.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anecdotes about President Kim Il Sung
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- One day in April, Juche 51 (1962) an
aide to President Kim Il Sung asked him to refrain from working from dawn as
he worked till late at night. On hearing this, the president said that he
had got used to getting up early since the period of the anti-Japanese armed
struggle. Saying that always busy with the building of a new homeland after
the liberation of the country followed by war and rehabilitation, his life
never allowed him to relax even a moment, he told him that probably he would
not be able to drop the habit of rising early in the morning all his life.
��� It was one day in November, Juche 44 (1955), 2 years after the war
ceased, officials visited him and showed blueprints of his residence. The
president, turning them one by one, instructed them to build a small and
simple house of Korean-style instead of building a big luxury one with
imported materials, reproaching them for going to separate him from the
people.
��� A revised design shown to him a few days later was also rejected as he
was not pleased with too large space of some parts of the house. He, with a
smile on his face, told officials to build as large and magnificent a
building as they please when building a schoolchildren's palace in the
future. The design was thus revised three times.
��� There is another anecdote about him. On May 1, Juche 49 (1960) there was
a state banquet in celebration of the holiday of the working class in the
presence of the president. After a while he asked the officials to permit
him to leave the hall as dear guests were awaiting him.
��� They were none other than Choe Yong Ok and her sisters who ran to greet
him when he arrived at his residence.
��� They were orphans whom he knew only a few days ago.
��� Worried that they might spend the holiday lonesomely, the president
called them to his residence.

Greetings to Malian President
��� Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, President of the
Presidium of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly, yesterday sent a message of
greetings to Alpha Oumar Konare, President of Mali, on the occasion of the
41st anniversary of the proclamation of its republic. The message expressed
the belief that the traditional friendly and cooperative relations between
the two countries would grow stronger and develop in the future and wished
the president and people of Mali greater success in their work for national
unity and peace and socio-economic development of the country.

ee.uu. es pais malvadote
��� pyongyang, 21 de mayo (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en el numero
de ayer inserto un articulo individual revelando que ee.uu. es un pais
malvadote del mundo. refiriendose a algunos indicios del "pais malvado"
enunciados por el gobierno de ee.uu. el articulo lo revela con hechos:
��� el primer indicio es el desarrollo de las armas nucleares, biologicas y
quimicas y misiles. ee.uu. es el primer pais que corresponde por entero a
este indicio. es un pais heguemonico del mundo en las armas nucleares,
biologicas y quimicas y misiles. supera considerablemente a otros paises en
la cantidad y fuerzas destructivas de estas armas. ee. uu. es un tamano
criminal que se valio de estas armas para acarrear tremendos danos a la
humanidad. es el unico pais que uso por primera vez en la historia armas
nucleares contra la humanidad en hiroshima y nagasaki. durante el periodo de
la guerra coreana trato varias veces de usarlas.
��� el segundo indicio es el "apoyo al terrorismo".
��� el departamento de estado norteamericano en el "informe anual sobre el
terrorismo" incluyo en la lista de "paises de apoyo al terrorismo" a varios
paises, pero ee.uu. es el verdadero criminal de este particular.
��� despues de la aparicion de la administracion de bush perpetro mas de una
vez incursiones aereas contra irak.
��� ee.uu. es calificado de pais malvadote del mundo por sus maniobras y
jugarretas perpetradas contra otros paises.
��� la accion militar de ee.uu. de hace dos anos contra yugoslavia
contraviene al derecho y normas de relaciones internacionales.
��� la administracion de bush dio a conocer su intento de negar la ejecucion
de "protocolo de kyoto". es una banalidad de un pais gangsteril que recurre
a todos los actos injustos para perseguir sus intereses.
��� tal arbitrariedad de ee.uu. no puede surtir efecto en el mundo.
��� la humanidad llevara sin falta a ee.uu. al juicio de la historia para
dictarle sentencia severa.
