80th Anniversary of Anti-Japanese Women's Association Marked

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the Women's Hall Monday to mark the 80th anniversary of the formation of the Anti-Japanese Women's Association. The association was formed on Dec. 26, Juche 15 (1926) under the energetic guidance of President Kim Il Sung and thanks to the unremitting activities of Kang Pan Sok, the mother of Korea.

The Korean women's movement is being successfully carried forward and developed and strenuously advanced under the veteran and tested leadership of Kim Jong Il. Today the Korean women are devoting their strength and wisdom to the struggle to bring earlier the dawn of a great prosperous powerful nation under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    It is the ideological and moral disposition of the Korean women and members of the women's union in the Songun era to devotedly defend the headquarters of the revolution as a citadel and a shield, regarding it as happiness to dedicate their lives and families in remaining loyal to the idea and intention of Kim Jong Il, following only him with unquestioned trust, no matter how many times the world may change. All the women should learn from and follow the noble example shown by Kim Jong Suk in devotedly defending the leader and become steadfast women revolutionaries and true revolutionary comrades of Songun who follow Kim Jong Il in idea and faith and devotedly defend him in whatever storms and thereby consolidate as firm as a rock the single-minded unity of the revolutionary ranks around the headquarters of the revolution.
    Present at the meeting were Yang Hyong Sop, vice-president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, and Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.


Tailings Treatment Ground Built

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- Soldiers of the Korean People's Army have succeeded in building a ground for treating tailings, which had been regarded useless. Soldiers of the Ra Son Jae-led unit buckled down to a job to treat and use tailings, saying that the tailings heaped in a mine were precious resources of the country. They did the work of their own accord.
    Officers of the unit acquired the ore-dressing technology at their leisure while performing military tasks and developed a new technology of treating tailings in close contact with scientists.
    They decided to build a treatment ground at the point of joining of tailing sewers from the ore-dressing plant of the mine and built it in the revolutionary soldier spirit under difficult conditions.
    Their devoted efforts bore fruit in a few months.
    Now the ground produces concentrated ore of higher grade than what they had expected.
    The construction of the treatment ground makes it possible to produce a large quantity of concentrated ore and add beauty to the natural scenery of the surrounding area.

    The constructors, with a high degree of enthusiasm, have done a lot of work in a matter of eight months since the ground-breaking ceremony of the project at the end of March.
    As of December 10, they completed the project of filling several hundred-meter-section of the Phyongam Reservoir Dam with earth and to cover it with stones and turf. And they successfully carried out a blasting for b
   lowing 60,000 cubic meters of earth to build the spillway dam of the Risang Reservoir.

    The projects for working pits and main tunneling have been promoted in scores of waterway tunnels. The earth excavation for the foundation projects of hundreds of structures including underground ducts, open channels and bridges is progressing apace as planned.
    The constructors have built the earthen dikes for waterways in the main by carrying hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of earth in the revolutionary soldier spirit with a goal to form all the earthen waterways by the end of the year.

More Relics Displayed in Chilgol Revolutionary Museum

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- More revolutionary relics have been added to the Chilgol Revolutionary Museum. Those working in the field of the preservation of revolutionary relics recently succeeded in discovering and ascertaining many more revolutionary relics related to the patriotic family in Chilgol and the noble revolutionary career and feats of Kang Pan Sok, an indomitable revolutionary fighter, and the course in which young Kim Il Sung grew up to be a great revolutionary. On this basis the museum has undergone a radical change in the content of exhibits and the style of their display.
    On display in the museum with five rooms are photos, historical relics, art works and hundreds of books, magazines and newspapers and other mementoes bearing witness to the revolutionary activities of members of the family of Kim Il Sung's father in Mangyongdae and his mother's family in Chilgol.
    The first two rooms are devoted to materials on the family in Chilgol, a patriotic literary family, and an oil painting depicting Kang Pan Sok standing on a hill in Xiashahe after the Anti-Japanese Guerilla Army was founded and other historical materials telling how the mother endowed with rare personality from her childhood grew up to be the mother of Korea, wife of a revolutionary and an outstanding leader of the Korean women's movement.

    Displayed in the Room No. 5 are historical relics proving the noble intention of the three generals of Mt. Paektu to make uninterrupted revolution generation after generation to realize the desire of Kang Pan Sok.
    Videotaped materials, CDs and other multi-media are used to display relics in a peculiar manner in the museum. They deal with the long and rugged path of the revolution traversed by Kang Pan Sok who said one should go to the end of the earth if one is to achieve the liberation of the country.


Superheated Campaign for Militarization in Japan Blasted

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- The land of Japs was and is chiefly to blame for the strained and aggravated situation in Northeast Asia, declares a Minju Joson analyst Tuesday. Commenting on the grave developments in Japan, he says:
    The Upper House of Japan on December 15 passed without a hitch the bill on upgrading the status of the Defence Agency to a ministry in the wake of its carriage through the Lower House, thus effectuating it as a law. And, some time ago, the "fundamental law of education" that had been in force for 54 years was revised legally. The dust kicked up in Japan in elevating the status of the Defense Agency to a ministry and adopting a new "fundamental law of education" cannot be interpreted otherwise than one aimed to put greater spurs to the realization of the militarist ambition for overseas expansion.
    The policy stance of the Japanese reactionaries is to hasten in break-neck speed the policy of overseas expansion by converting Japanese islands today into a "war state," totally throwing away even the nominal mask of "pacifist state." In reality, Japan is taking ideological, military and institutional measures one after another to realize its ambition for overseas expansion.
    In military aspect, it is showing strong zeal to strengthen ties with NATO. Looming up abundantly clear is the crafty stratagem of Japan to zealously intervene in international disputes in the form of active participation in military cooperation with NATO and attain its political purpose of overseas aggression through that leverage. The Japanese reactionaries should know that the provocation of a war of reinvasion will lead it to self-destruction. The land of Japs will stand no chance of another revival, if it starts a war of reinvasion in Northeast Asia.


Distortion of History by Japanese Reactionaries under Fire

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- The land of Japs is a country with a long record of crimes which ignited wars of aggression against Asian countries and committed hideous and shocking murders and human rights abuses previously unknown. Nevertheless, it has refused to honestly admit its past crimes and persistently evaded its historical obligation to make apologies and compensations, thus making itself a target of ridicule and denunciation worldwide. This is the topic of a news analysis of Rodong Sinmun Tuesday.
    Recalling that former U.S. President W. Bush advised Japan to make efforts to heal the wounds of history, saying the Japanese politicians' visit to the "Yasukuni Shrine" meant their denial of history, the analyst goes on:
    The Japanese reactionaries, turning a deaf ear to the unanimous criticism and opposition at home and abroad, continue visiting the "Yasukuni Shrine". This reveals their sinister intention to create an ideological foothold and social climate for aggression overseas by fostering militarist hysterics in Japanese society. In other words, they seek in the visit to implant among the Japanese, those of the younger generation in particular, pride in the history of aggression and mindset of aggression for realizing at whatever cost the wild ambition to dominate Asia which they failed to materialize in the past.
    They have gone the extent to cry that the Japanese King should visit the "Yasukuni Shrine".
    Their shameless approach to the issue of "comfortable women" drafted for the Imperial Japanese Army is also made an object of denunciation and derision in the U.S. A brisk movement is noticed in the newly formed U.S. Congress for the adoption of a resolution on the issue. Their moral inferiority and effrontery are forced into a glaring light by their justification of the Japanese imperialists' crime in sex slavery and their insult of the Asian women who suffered humiliation beyond human imagination after being taken away as sex slaves.
    In extolling to the skies their past crimes and refusing to make apologies and compensations, the reactionaries of the land of Japs seek to realize their wild design of reinvasion in Asia, come what may. If they become more blatant in defying the demand of the international community to admit the past crimes and make apologies, while engaging themselves in the distortion of history, they will find themselves in greater isolation and be put to more woeful shame.


S. Korean Authorities Urged to Retract Decision to Dispatch Troops to Lebanon

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities decided to dispatch troops to Lebanon according to the U.S. imperialists' scenario. This is part of the very dangerous preparations for a war of aggression against the DPRK as it is intended to accumulate experience for carrying out their scenario of war against it. Rodong Sinmun today observes this in a signed commentary. Noting that the south Korean authorities decided to dispatch troops to Lebanon at a "Cabinet meeting" held in the middle of November and are working hard to have the motion calling for this troop dispatch passed through the "National Assembly" as soon as possible, the commentary goes on:
    The south Korean war-like forces remain unchanged in their intention to antagonize compatriots and hurt them by force of arms despite the dynamic advance of the June 15 era of reunification.
    The south Korean military authorities have already dispatched troops to various dispute-torn areas including East Timor under the name of "helping in restoring peace" where they have accumulated experience useful to maintaining "public security" and "controlling inhabitants" in the areas of the north side in case of emergency on the Korean Peninsula.
    It is nobody's secret that the Jaitun unit of the south Korean army present in Iraq got familiar with the military operation to be conducted against the north by carrying out the large-scale long-distance night transport operation that has nothing to do with the mission to "restore peace." The principal aim sought by the south Korean authorities in the planned troop dispatch to Lebanon is to "boost the capability for logistic support," "acquire the capability for combined and joint operations" under different terrain and climatic conditions and "accumulate experience in controlling civilians" in the wartime. The south Korean authorities are getting frantic with the preparations for a war against compatriots even in foreign lands, not away from their bad habit dating back to the era of confrontation though the atmosphere of north-south reconciliation and reunification is running high on the peninsula. This is a total perfidy to the June 15 joint declaration and a challenge to the DPRK.
    Also lurking behind their planned troop dispatch to Lebanon is a cunning trick to provoke a war against the DPRK and provide preconditions for getting positive political and military backing from the outsiders.
    It is, at the same time, intended to please their American master keen to realize his ambition to dominate the whole world and hurl with ease U.S.-led multinational forces into the Korean front in case of "emergency" on the Korean Peninsula through what they call "contribution" to the UN and "multinational cooperation." Only Koreans' curses and condemnation and a miserable end await the south Korean war mongers preoccupied with the idea of doing harm to compatriots, toeing the hostile policy of foreign forces towards the DPRK.


Rodong Sinmun Reviews This Year's Achievements

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun terms this year a year of great leap in which the cause of building a prosperous powerful nation of Juche has been put on a higher stage of development and broad vistas opened up for the country and the nation. This year the army and the people of the DPRK made radical changes in politics, military affairs, economy, culture and all other fields under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il, ushering in a new heyday of national prosperity, the daily says in a by-lined article today, and goes on:
    The political and ideological position of Korean-style socialism has been cemented in every way and its might powerfully displayed this year.
    This year also witnessed the further consolidation of our revolutionary ranks' unity in thinking and purpose and morality and fidelity. The noble mental traits of the Korean army and people following the idea and will of their leader were highly displayed in the course of building a great prosperous powerful nation this year. Our revolutionary ranks have been dyed with the Workers' Party of Korea's Songun idea while being united closer with the firm faith in sure victory of socialism. It is the most precious and proud achievement made in the DPRK this year, which helps one see into a rosy prospect of Songun Korea.
    This year is a historic year in which the military power of Korean-style socialism has been exceptionally increased.
    The might of the Korean People's Army, the core of the self-defensive military capabilities and the mainstay of socialism, has been further consolidated. And the traits of attaching importance to the arms and military affairs have been firmly established in the whole society. The army and people are closely united: People assist the army and vice versa. This traditional trait is in full bloom, a pride of Songun Korea. Our country has been turned into an eternal invincible fortress which any formidable enemy dare not invade and possessed powerful war deterrent able to reliably ensure regional peace and security. It is one of the greatest achievements made by the DPRK this year.
    This year our army and people have made signal achievements in all domains of socialist construction despite manifold hardships and difficulties. All the people turned out as one in the agricultural front to implement the WPK's policy of bringing about great changes in agriculture and thus laid a firm foundation for radically increasing the agricultural production.
    Many objects of weighty significance in improving the standard of people's living were modernized or built, among them the Ryongsong Machine Complex, the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex, the Pyongyang Taesong Tire Factory and the Kumjingang Hungbong Youth Power Station. And a productive upsurge has been effected in various fields of the national economy.
    This year also witnessed the proud achievements in the building of socialist culture in the era of Songun. Incredible successes have been made in educational and literature and art fields, and distinguished gains registered in the field of sports in succession, fully demonstrating the honor and spirit of Songun Korea.
    The credit for the proud victory and achievements made this significant year goes to the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il Inspects Sub-Unit of KPA Unit 3993

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) ? General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected a sub-unit of KPA Unit 3993. He acquainted himself with the sub-unit's performance of duty before watching the training of its servicepersons.
    He set forth the tasks which would serve as guidelines in increasing the combat capability of the sub-unit, satisfied to learn that it has trained all its servicepersons into a-match-for-a hundred fighters through tireless effective training. Then he went round an educational room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a non-staple food store, a wash-cum-bath house, an outdoor resting place and other places of the sub-unit. He was very pleased to go round the well-furnished interior facilities and the compound of the barracks kept neat and tidy. It is very gratifying to see the servicepersons living in such nice barracks, he said.
    It is one of the most important issues arising in the management of the unit to provide the servicepersons with better living conditions and take deep care of them so that they may not feel any slightest inconvenience in their living, he noted, underscoring the need to always pay deep attention to the supply service. Saying that all the units of the KPA are now assiduously managing their economic life after sprucing up their posts, he emphasized that this is a striking demonstration of the mental might of the KPA.
    He enjoyed an art performance given by servicepersons of the sub-unit. He gave the servicepersons of the sub-unit a pair of binoculars, a machine gun and an automatic rifle as gifts and posed for a photograph with them.

Rodong Sinmun condena despacho de uniformados surcoreanos al Libano

    Pyongyang, 26 de diciembre (ATCC) -- La decision de las autoridades surcoreanas de despachar a sus uniformados al Libano es un colofon de los aventureros preparativos para la supuesta invasion al Norte de Corea, que se impulsan segun el guion de Estados Unidos.  Revela el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual difundido este martes y prosigue:
     A mediados de noviembre ultimo, las autoridades surcoreanas decidieron en una "reunion del gabinete" despachar al Libano a sus efectivos y ahora se apresuran a llevarlo a cabo lo mas pronto posible con la aprobacion de la "Asamblea Nacional" en su sesion ordinaria.
     Aunque se levanto el torrente de la epoca de reunificacion del 15 de Junio, sigue invariable la intencion de los belicistas surcoreanos de tratar con hostilidad a sus coterraneos e invadirlos con las fuerzas armadas.
     Bajo el pretexto de la "ayuda en la reconstruccion de la paz", la cupula militar surcoreana habia "adquirido" en el Timor del Este y otras regiones litigiosas las experiencias para el "mantenimiento de seguridad" y la "administracion de la poblacion" en la region del Norte en los supuestos "tiempos de emergencia" de la Peninsula Coreana.
     Se revelo tambien que la unidad "Jaitun" del ejercito surcoreano, enviada a Iraq, ejercito las operaciones militares para la agresion al Norte de Corea, como el transporte nocturno a larga distancia de gran dimension que no tiene nada que ver con la "reconstruccion de la paz" de esa nacion.
     Se va desenmascarando que detras de la decision referida, se halla el proposito de las autoridades surcoreanas de "perfeccionar la capacidad de asistencia logistica", "adquirir la capacidad de operacion conjunta y combinada" en diversas condiciones topograficas y climaticas y "experimentar la administracion de la poblacion" en tiempos de guerra.  Ellas no dejaron todavia sus vicios de la era de confrontacion hasta hoy dia en que se torna calido el ambiente de reconciliacion entre el Norte y el Sur de Corea y de reunificacion de esta. Esto significa la negativa total a la Declaracion Conjunta N-S del 15 de Junio y el desafio a la RPDC.
     En trasfondo del despacho en cuestion se perfila la astuta intencion de ellas de preparar las condiciones previas que permitan recabar la activa ayuda politico-militar de las fuerzas extranjeras en la eventual guerra contra el Norte de Corea.  Especificamente dicho, quieren alegrar a su amo gringo, enloquecido por la hegemonia mundial, e introducir facilmente al frente de Corea a las fuerzas multinacionales encabezadas por EE.UU. en el "caso de emergencia" de la Peninsula Coreana a cambio de la supuesta "contribucion" a la ONU y la "colaboracion multinacional".
     A los belicistas surcoreanos que adhiriendose activamente a la politica hostil norteamericana a la RPDC, piensan unicamente en atacar a sus connacionales, les corresponderan solo la denuncia y el repudio de la nacion y el tragico fin.
