In this regard Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary terms it an unpardonable criminal act. The commentary goes on: The objective of the SDF's projected military exercises in the Indian Ocean and Pakistan is to set a precedent for the simultaneous overseas advance and comprehensive military exercise of the three services of the "SDF" and show that Japan is fully capable of staging any military operation overseas. ��� Japan's moves to stage such joint military exercises, not bound to legal restrictions and departing from precedent, cannot be construed otherwise than a very dangerous development. ��� This is a clear indication that the Japanese reactionaries have not given up their old dream of "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" though half a century has passed since their defeat and the world greeted a new century but have become more undisguised in their moves to realize their wild ambition for overseas expansion. ��� The crimes committed by Japan in the past are still fresh in the memory of the world people. ��� In view of both their nature and temper, the Japanese militarists represent a war force which can launch aggression any time under any brigandish pretext. ��� The projected joint military exercises of the "SDF" overseas can never be justified nor can their criminal and dangerous nature be covered up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Famous writer ��� Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- New song "Arirang for Prosperity" is popular in the DPRK.

The song has gripped the hearts of the people across the country and the world progressives as it reflects the unanimous wishes of the Korean people for the good health of President Kim Il Sung who works heart and soul till late at night without having a moment's rest. ��� Then he produced works portraying the leader and reflecting the spirit of the times such as "We will always live with the leader" and "Flower in full bloom all over the country." ��� Several pieces of words of songs "We believe in you as in heaven," "With same spirit as displayed in 'arduous march'," and "We will never forget," created by Yun In recent years, caused a great sensation in the literature and art circle as they fully reflected the spirit of the times and all the people's thought and feelings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minju Joson marks world day of teachers ��� Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- Diverse functions are being held in different countries to improve education and boost the status of teachers in society and public concern for them on the occasion of the world day of teachers (October 5).
