Kim Jong Suk's Exploits in Building Party and State

   Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- Anti-Japanese woman hero Kim Jong Suk was the most faithful soldier of President Kim Il Sung. She laid a foundation for the implementation of the President's line of building the Party and the state.
    Everywhere she went, she saw to it that the work of the party organizations was carried out according to the revolutionary idea of the President in the days of the building of a new country when democracy and reaction were standing face to face in sharp antagonism.
    She visited the Chongjin City Party Committee in North Hamgyong Province in December Juche 34 (1945) and told officials who were going to great pains for the implementation of the line of building party organizations to firmly build them up with people tested and tempered in the revolutionary struggle for the liberation of the country as the core elements, admit elites to the party from among the masses of various strata and form party organizations in factories and enterprises as early as possible.
    And she gave detailed instructions to establish a strict centralized discipline in the Party, raise the role of the propaganda department of the Party, reinforce the ranks of cadres and make officials possess the revolutionary method of work and the popular style of work.
    In the later period, she put deviations on the right track in the work of different local party organizations to see that the President's line of Party building was implemented correctly.
    She also put her heart and soul into the work for implementing the President's line of building the state.
    A few days after her triumphant return to the homeland, she got together with officials of a local people's committee and told them to carry through the President's line of state building up to the hilt.
    When she visited local areas, she acquainted herself with the work of the people's committees and clarified tasks of the officials to give a better account of themselves as intended by the President.
    Braving danger, she gave lectures to audiences into which quite a few reactionaries sneaked their way and brought home the justice of the President's line of people's government to the people, inspiring them to turn out as one in the building of a new country.
    The great changes in the days of the enforcement of the laws on agrarian reform, nationalization of major industries, labor, sex equality, etc. promulgated by the President were associated with the noble feats of Kim Jong Suk.
    There was no affair which did not bear marks of her efforts in the days of building the state, such as instituting the national emblem and the national flag well reflecting the far-reaching plan and policy of the President on state building and drafting the constitution of the DPRK.
    Indeed, the great feats of Kim Jong Suk for the future development of the Workers' Party of Korea and the revolution and for the prosperity of the DPRK will remain long in history.


Kim Jong Suk's Immortal Service for Army Building

   Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- Anti-Japanese woman hero Kim Jong Suk had keenly experienced from the first days of her revolutionary activities the truth of the revolution that the country and the revolution could be defended only by force of arms, and done her best to bring the line of army-building put forward by President Kim Il Sung into practice.
    After the national liberation, she assisted the President in the efforts to build a regular army and gave important instructions to officials in this regard on over 420 occasions.
    She visited the Pyongyang Institute, a base for training military and political cadres, more than 30 times to emphasize that efforts should be exerted to the education of the students in the loyalty to the President. And she also frequented to Central Security Officers School where she amended its teaching program so as to arm the students with the military ideas of the President and tactics suitable to the actual conditions of Korea.
    She made deep attention to the training of commanding officers of all services in the building of the regular army.
    One day in June of Juche 35 (1946) she instructed officials of the Pyongyang Institute to construct an airfield with its own efforts and went out to the construction site to give a helping hand to the students and inspire them to complete the project at an early date.
    And one day in November 1947 she informed the director of Marine Security Officers School of the President's instructions on rearing naval officers by itself and asked leading officials of a relevant province to render a positive helping hand to the work for setting up the school.
    In those years she was also busy with efforts to guide the logistic work for the building of a regular army.
    She found herself among manufacturers of military uniforms and led them to produce the trial uniforms and accoutrements as early as possible.
    Thanks to her energetic effort, the designs of uniforms of the Korean People's Army were fixed in March 1947.
    When the first mechanized unit of the regular army was being organized, she made uniforms of commanding officers of a tank unit by herself and called on the unit frequently and paid attention to training tank drivers within three months, breaking the existing formula.
    The immortal exploits performed by her in the work to strengthen the armed forces of the DPRK as an invincible country will shine long in the Songun revolutionary history.

    The editorial says: Kim Jong Suk performed undying exploits for the country and the people, the times and history which an ordinary human being could not do even in thousands of years. She set a shining example showing how a revolutionary and a human being should live and struggle.
    She was an indomitable revolutionary fighter as she created a shining model in devotedly defending the leader with transparent outlook on the leader.
    She absolutely trusted President Kim Il Sung, the pioneer of the Korean revolution and the invincible and iron-willed brilliant commander, as the lodestar of the nation and great man born of Heaven. She devotedly defended the President with the fixed faith that he guarantees the liberation of the country and the prosperity of the nation.

    Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    Kim Jong Suk devoted her all to implementing President Kim Il Sung's idea and intention to achieve national reunification and performed immortal exploits in that course.
    The Koreans' cause of reunification started and has developed since its outset, firmly guided by the idea and line of the President. This would be unthinkable without her immortal devotion and efforts.
    It was thanks to her energetic devotion and efforts for national reunification that all the Korean people could unite close around the President irrespective of ideology and ism and the cause of reunification confidently advance from its start, guided by the Juche-oriented idea and line of the President.
    What was important among the great exploits performed by her for the cause of national reunification was that she laid a firm foundation for bringing about a bright future of national reunification and prosperity.
    The exploit Kim Jong Suk performed by giving birth to and bringing up Kim Jong Il as the sun of the nation who would carve out a bright future of the cause of national reunification will last forever along with the history of the nation.
    There grew up the dependable second generation of the revolution who would creditably perform the mission and role as the masters responsible for the movement for national reunification. This was the great feat performed by Kim Jong Suk in the history of the reunification movement.
    Her noble desire for national reunification is now being translated into a brilliant reality thanks to Kim Jong Il, concludes the article.


U.S. Bellicose Forces' Scenario for Preemptive Attack on DPRK Flayed

   Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- Recently the U.S. bellicose forces staged reckless aerial war exercises in a coordinated operation with the U.S. Seventh Air Force present in south Korea while deploying overseas-based F/A-18 and KC-130 and other flying corps in south Korea by turns. The purpose of the exercise was to strike ground targets, provide close air support, fight air battles and make intensive strikes by formations of planes.
    Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Tuesday terms this saber rattling part of the war moves of the U.S. bellicose forces to stifle the DPRK through surprise attacks.
    The madcap drills being staged by them to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK behind the scene of dialogue as part of their preparations for a second Korean war only cast a doubt as to whether the U.S. is willing for dialogue or not, the commentary notes, and goes on:
    The dialogue advertised by the U.S. while seeking confrontation is, in fact, nothing but a military option to disarm its dialogue partner mentally and mount a surprise preemptive attack on it.
    It is the intention of the U.S. conservative hard-liners to pressurize the present U.S. administration to call off dialogue with the DPRK and strain the situation in a bid to make it complicated.
    No one can predict what shocking cases the U.S. bellicose forces will fake up to scuttle the negotiations between the DPRK and the U.S. while busying themselves with war exercises and moves to modernize their armed forces in the future. Their stand is to screw up the military confrontation and ignite a war. This is clearly evidenced by the fact that the U.S. forces are pushing forward such dangerous plan for modernizing their armed forces as the so-called "future combat system" targeted against the DPRK and staging interceptor missile tests one after another.
    Now that the U.S. conservative hard-liners are contemplating a reckless preemptive attack on the DPRK, its army and people are making preparations to resolutely counter it. It is the invariable stand and will of the DPRK to respond to dialogue with dialogue and counter force with force.


Japan's Moves to Build up Missile Shield under Fire in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification and the Citizen's Solidarity for Pacifist Constitution in south Korea reportedly made public a joint statement on Dec. 19 denouncing Japan's moves to speed up the building of its missile shield.
    Recalling that some time ago, a MSDF destroyer shot down a ballistic missile with SM-3 in a test conducted off Hawaii backed by the U.S. Naval Force, the first of its kind, the joint statement said:
    Japan is contemplating deploying Aegis ships loaded with SM-3s in surrounding waters of the East Sea of Korea in the future and revising the "guidelines for the use of the missile shield" so that its government may issue an order to intercept missiles at the phase in which "north Korea gets ready to fire missiles."
    This proves that the real intention of Japan's buildup of missile shield is to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK.
    The above-said moves of Japan are intolerable as they diametrically run counter to the moves for establishing a peace-keeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula, spark an arms race in the surrounding areas and violate its "pacifist constitution" banning the exercise of "the right to collective self-defense."
    The joint statement strongly demanded Japan stop at once the moves to build up the missile shield quite contrary to the peace in Northeast Asia including the Korean Peninsula.

The revolutionary cause pioneered by President Kim Il Sung will be successfully realized as the Korean army and people are united single-mindedly around Kim Jong Il, he stressed.
    Zhukova, executive manager of the Korean Koryo Medicine Center in Moscow, praised the noble revolutionary career of Kim Jong Suk, woman commander of Mt. Paektu who devotedly defended the headquarters of revolution and gave birth to and brought up Kim Jong Il as brilliant future of Korea, saying that she is a great woman revolutionary who devoted her all to the country and people.
    Vorontsov, chief of the Section for Korea of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that Kim Jong Il's Songun politics has enervated the U.S. offensive for stifling the DPRK while opening up a bright vista for the Korean people building a great prosperous powerful nation.
    Juan Jose Leon Vega, chairman of the Cuban Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification, in his speech at the meeting praised the undying feats performed by the three generals of Mt. Paektu in the sacred cause for the liberation of the country and freedom and happiness of the people.

    She, whose parents were killed by the Japanese imperialist aggressors, set out on the road of the revolution in her early years and joined the Korean People's Revolutionary Army led by President Kim Il Sung to fight for the liberation of the country with arms in her hands, it noted.
    The greatest exploit performed by her is that she brought up Kim Jong Il as the successor to Kim Il Sung and as the distinguished leader who would guide the future of Korea, the statement said, adding: She passed away long ago, but her august name and feats will shine forever.
