Nationwide Struggle against Outside Forces Urged

   Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- The March First Popular Uprising in Juche 8 (1919) 88 years ago was an eruption of the wrath of all people at the Japanese imperialists who illegally occupied Korea and resorted to brutal repression and looting against the Korean people, says Rodong Sinmun in an editorial today.
    Noting that the patriotic spirit of the uprising has been carried forward through generations, dynamically propelling the cause of national independence, the editorial goes on:
    What the people desired in the uprising was sovereignty and independence against Japan. President Kim Il Sung, the peerless patriot and legendary hero, put an end to the atrocious colonial rule of the Japanese imperialists by leading the heroic armed struggle to victory. After the liberation the U.S. imperialists placed south Korea under their military occupation. And when they provoked a war of aggression with the criminal scheme to realize their ambition for dominating Korea, the Korean nation gave them a taste of its fist and won a great victory in the war.
    The peace of the country and the dignity of the nation can be defended and the historic cause of national reunification be accomplished only by a resolute struggle for independence against outsiders. This is the truth engraved ever deeper on the hearts of the Koreans today.
    All the fellow countrymen should wage a vehement struggle to achieve national sovereignty on the nationwide scale, holding aloft the banner of national independence against outside forces.
    The whole nation should pool its strength and put up a stiff fight against the U.S. strategy of domination over Korea and anti-DPRK hostile policy.
    The reinvasion design of the Japanese reactionaries, the sworn enemy of the Korean nation, must be thwarted. With bitter resentment at the Japanese imperialists, all the Koreans should deal a decisive counter blow to the anti-DPRK sanctions by the Japanese forces of aggression and smash their anti-DPRK moves and make Japan pay a proper price for its past crimes through a nationwide anti-Japanese struggle.
    If the domination and interference of the outsiders are to be brought to an end and national sovereignty be achieved, the "Grand National Party," a group of traitors allied with outside forces, must be pushed out of the arena of history.
    All the fellow countrymen should work strenuously to see that importance is attached to the nation, peace defended and unity achieved under the banner of independence against outside forces and thus bring earlier the historic day when the desire of the March First fighters will be realized and the dignity of the reunified Korean nation be displayed all over the world.

Abrogation of NSL Urged in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- The People's Solidarity for Abolition of the "Security Law" in south Korea reportedly sponsored a meeting in Seoul on Feb. 24 to vow to get the "National Security Law" repealed and frustrate the public security authorities' suppression.
    Speakers at the meeting said that the arrest of two teachers affiliated to the Teachers Union has made one see more clearly into the anti-reunification nature of the anachronistic NSL. And they stressed that all the people should turn out in the struggle to get the evil law abrogated and achieve the national reconciliation and peace.
    They also called for removing the shadow of the NSL from all realms of society, dissolving the public security machines, the leftover of dictatorship, and clearing away all systems violating freedom of thought and speech.


Scientific and Technological Foundations of Geological Prospecting Strengthened

   Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- Great efforts have been made to strengthen the scientific and technological foundations of the geological prospecting in the DPRK.
    The State Bureau for Guidance of Natural Resources Development has established scientific prospecting methods and introduced them into practice.
    The Central Mineral Resources Survey Corps has drawn digital geological maps reflecting in detail geological structure and distribution of mineral resources in relevant areas. They make it possible to conduct the mineral prospecting in a more scientific and effective way.
    The South Hamgyong Provincial Prospecting Management Bureau has built a geological database in cooperation with a competent scientific research group and developed a new technology with which it can estimate natural resources, which are greatly helpful to its subordinate units.
    The Nampho Hydro-geological Prospecting Corps under the South Phyongan Provincial Prospecting Management Bureau and scientists and technicians in the related fields are collecting at the final stage the research data which are of nationally great significance.
    The State Bureau for Guidance of Natural Resources Development are registering achievements in the efforts to apply modern, light and precise prospecting facilities and to consolidate the material and technical foundations for the prospecting field.
    Many units under the bureau are striving to manufacture trial products of boring machines, more efficient and lighter than previous ones and the technical equipment of prospecting equipment production bases has been steadily improved.

Gravity-fed Water Supply System Pays Off

   Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- A gravity-fed water supply system has been recently introduced in Hyesan City, Ryanggang Province, in the northern part of the DPRK.
    Officials and citizens of the city undertook a project for utilizing the water of the Osi Stream as drinking and life water since May Juche 93(2004).
    They, who have experienced that self-reliance is the only way to life, completed the project in a little over two years, overcoming all the difficulties and bottlenecks.
    The quality of the stream water is just as good as that of the famous Sindok spring water of Korea.
    The stream, which has emptied into the River Amnok from olden times, is now being used for the health and every day life of the citizens.
    The system is also economic for it doesn't need any pumping facilities, water purifying materials and electricity.


Rodong Sinmun on Desire of Humankind for Socialism

   Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- It is the law governing the development of history that capitalism goes to ruin and socialism emerges victorious and no force on earth can reverse the direction of the development of history towards socialism.
    Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article observes this.
    It goes on:
    There were difficulties in the way of advancing socialism owing to the abnormal political development toward the close of the last century, but socialism did not come to an "end" as the imperialists claimed but has made victorious progress, enshrined in the hearts of the people.
    At a time when the imperialists and the renegades of socialism made desperate efforts to destroy socialism dozens of political parties of the world met in Pyongyang and adopted the Pyongyang Declaration "Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism" signed by them, stunning the world.
    The victorious advance of the socialist cause in the DPRK signifies a striking demonstration of the truth, validity and invincibility of socialism.
    The People's Army and the people of the DPRK, true to the great Songun politics of the Workers' Party of Korea, have turned out as one to mercilessly smash the moves of the imperialists for a war of aggression, bolster the military power of the country and firmly consolidate the socialist position. The reality of the DPRK reinforced the world people's faith in the victory of socialism.
    It is the law governing the development of history that the new is sure to triumph in the struggle against the old.
    Socialism fundamentally differs from capitalism.
    Capitalism is an unpopular exploiting society, an unequal society where the privileged have power in hands and get richer by exploiting the toiling people who account for the majority of the population.
    Socialism is incomparably advantageous to capitalism. In socialist society, the people are politically stable and lead a worthwhile and happy life, having sound thinking and mentality and culture.
    In the DPRK, the people have become the master of the country and society and lead a happy life on an equal footing, exercising all their rights. The DPRK is the only country in the world where people are guaranteed all rights ranging from the right to work to the right to food, clothing and housing and the right to study and receive medical care.
    The "advantages" of capitalism much touted by the imperialists and the reactionaries are nothing but sophism to cover up the reactionary and corrupt nature and vulnerability of the capitalist system.


Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Marked

   Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- Today marks the 14th anniversary of the publication of Kim Jong Il's work "Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable."
    The work brings to light the hypocrisy and reactionary nature of sophism made by the imperialists and their mouthpieces to slander socialism and clarifies the justice and scientific accuracy of the cause of socialism.
    Rodong Sinmun Thursday carries a signed article in this regard.
    It says:
    The work provided the Korean people and progressive humankind struggling for socialism with a powerful weapon with which to foil the vicious moves of the imperialists and renegades of revolution to slander socialism and steadily advance socialist construction.
    Today the Korean people confidently foresee the future of a great prosperous powerful nation in the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il who has ushered in the new era of national prosperity after overcoming all sorts of hardship and difficulties with the might of ideology.
    The sagacity of Kim Jong Il's leadership through which he glorified Korean-style socialism with the might of ideology can be found in that he developed in depth the idea of socialism as required by the times, achieved the unity of the servicepersons and people in thinking and consolidated their single-minded unity in every way.
    His wise leadership also found its vivid manifestation in that he aroused the revolutionary zeal of the popular masses and laid a firm foundation for building a rich and powerful country.
    The great Songun idea helped formulate the Songun politics as the basic political mode under socialism and provided precious guidelines for dynamically advancing the cause of socialism in our times by fully meeting the requirements of Songun in increasing the national power and building economy and culture and in all fabrics of social life.
    It was thanks to the unbreakable unity and cohesion of all the servicepersons and people around the headquarters of the revolution in thinking and will that socialism in the DPRK has won one victory after another displaying its advantages and might despite unspeakable difficulties in recent years.
    The whole country is now pervaded with the spirit of Thaechon and fresh creation and innovations are reported from everywhere, a clear proof of the great leadership of Kim Jong Il who is making a new history of nation-building by giving fullest play to the might of ideology.


Removal of Pro-U.S. Conservative Forces Urged

   Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- Independence, democracy, peace and reunification are the aspiration and urgent demand of the south Korean people of broad strata, states Rodong Sinmun in a signed article Thursday.
    Noting that the south Korean people have so far waged a strenuous struggle to put an end to the rule of pro-U.S. military fascist dictatorship, achieve the independence and democracy of society and reunify the country, the article goes on:
    Notably after the adoption of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, the compatriotic consciousness and atmosphere of reconciliation and cooperation have mounted among the south Korean people in the idea of "By our nation itself." This has pushed forward the rapid growth of the forces of peace and progress, promoted the independence and democracy of society and propelled the development of the movement for independent reunification.
    The conservative forces in south Korea who seek a way out in alliance with the U.S. are traitors who do not even shrink from confrontation and war between fellow countrymen.
    The pro-U.S. conservative forces are creating an atmosphere of confrontation, branding the forces of peace and progress and the pro-reunification patriotic forces desirous of progress and reform of the south Korean society as "seditious forces" and "pro-north leftist forces."
    Realities show that neither can the south Korean people live in peace even a moment nor can the Korean nation be free from care, unless the pro-U.S. warlike conservative forces are removed from the scene.

Rodong Sinmun conmemora aniversario de obra de Kim Jong Il

   Pyongyang, 1 de marzo (ATCC) -- El diario Rodong Sinmun dedico este jueves un articulo individual al XIV aniversario de la publicacion (1 de marzo de 1993) de la obra maestra del Dirigente Kim Jong Il "La difamacion del socialismo no sera tolerada", que desenmascara lo absurdo y lo reaccionario de la sofisteria de los imperialistas y sus voceros calumniando perversamente el socialismo y que comprueba la justeza y lo cientifico de la causa socialista.
     Con la publicacion de esta obra el pueblo coreano y la humanidad progresista del mundo, que luchan por el socialismo, pudieron contar con un potente remedio que les permite impulsar con mas dinamismo la construccion del socialismo frustrando las brutales maniobras de los imperialistas y los traidores a la revolucion que ponen trabas al socialismo, adelanta el rotativo y prosigue:
     Hoy en dia, el pueblo coreano ve el futuro de la gran potencia prospera en la orientacion del Songun (priorizacion militar) del Dirigente Kim Jong Il quien abre una nueva epoca de prosperidad de la patria superando todas las pruebas con el poderio de la ideologia.

Es infrenable la aspiracion de la humanidad al socialismo

   Pyongyang, 1 de marzo (ATCC) -- Es una ley del desarrollo de la historia que el capitalismo se fracasa y el socialismo triunfa. En este mundo no existe ninguna fuerza capaz de invertir el rumbo del desarrollo de la historia hacia el socialismo.
    Senala asi el rotativo Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual publicado este jueves y continua:
    Aunque a finales del siglo pasado el socialismo se tropezo con serios obstaculos debido a los anormales cambios de la situacion politica, nunca llego a su "fin" como pregonaban los imperialistas, sino avanza victoriosamente echando mas profundamente sus raices en el alma de los pueblos.
    En aquel tiempo en que los imperialistas y los traidores al socialismo maniobraban desesperadamente para extinguir el socialismo, se aprobo en esta capital de la revolucion la Declaracion de Pyongyang "Defendamos y llevemos adelante la causa socialista", en la que firmaron decenas de partidos politicos del mundo.
    El avance victorioso de la causa socialista en nuestro pais manifesto la veracidad, la justeza y la invencibilidad del socialismo.
    En pleno acato a la gran politica de Songun (priorizacion militar) del Partido del Trabajo de Corea, el ejercito y el pueblo de Corea incrementaron las fuerzas de defensa nacional y consolidaron con firmeza la posicion del socialismo frustrando tajantemente las maquinaciones belicistas de los imperialistas. Al ver esta realidad sorprendente de Corea, todo el mundo redoblo su conviccion en el triunfo del socialismo.
    En la lucha entre lo nuevo y lo viejo triunfa el primero. Esto es otra ley del desarrollo de la historia.
     El socialismo y el capitalismo se difieren radicalmente y el primero es incomparablemente superior al segundo.
    El segundo es una sociedad explotadora, desigual y antipopular en que las capas privilegiadas abusan del poder y se enriquecen explotando a las abrumadoras masas trabajadoras.
    En el primero los seres humanos viven feliz y dignamente llevando una vida estable en lo politico y noble en lo ideo-espiritual y cultural.
    En nuestro pais, las masas populares, siendo duenas del pais y de la sociedad, ejercen todos los derechos y viven todos felizmente. En el mundo no hay otro pais como el nuestro que asegura todos los derechos del ser humano como los al trabajo, a todas las condiciones de la vida, a la educacion y a la asistencia medica.
     Hoy dia los imperialistas y los reaccionarios predican la "superioridad" del capitalismo, pero esto no pasa de ser un sofisma para encubrir su caracter reaccionario, corrupto y vulnerable.
