They launched armed invasion against the young DPRK all of a sudden on June 25, 1950, to destroy it but suffered the bitterest defeat in their history. They are going to stage various "commemorations" of the half centenary of the Korean War and continue similar events in years to come in a bid to justify their Korean War of aggression and hurl young and middle-aged Americans into a new Korean war of aggression, the article notes, and goes on: It is true that the U.S. aggression troops are mercenaries but money is not enough to mobilize them to the war of aggression. Americans are reluctant to send their sons to the war of aggression on Korea. The U.S. allies, too, are turning their backs to the U.S., half believing and half suspecting its aggressive policy toward the DPRK. "Commemorations" of the half centenary of the Korean War are a brainchild of the U.S. warhawks to cope with this situation. The "commemorations" will never change the truth behind their provocation of the Korean War nor help their aggression troops drop war-phobia. All wars fought by the U.S. took place in alien lands and, therefore, not a single shell dropped on the U.S. territory as was the case with the Korean War. The U.S. imperialists intend to undertake the second Korean war as before. But such war method will not work on the DPRK. If they dare provoke the second Korean war, the DPRK will attack everywhere the U.S. aggression troops are stationed and wipe them out. The U.S. warhawks are well advised to abandon their absurd intention to instill war fever into GIs and civilians and undertake the new Korean war supported by them. Their projected "commemorations" will only precipitate their doomsday. U.S. to deploy tactical hi-energy laser weapon in Korean peninsula Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- The U.S. military is reportedly scheming to deploy the tactical hi-energy laser weapon in the Korean peninsula. The U.S. Army developed in cooperation with Israel this weapon, which is said to intercept rockets and short-range missiles, and test-fired it in New Mexico of the U.S. on June 6. Boasting of its successful test-fire, the U.S. military is now examining the planned deployment of the weapon in the area near the demilitarized zone on the Korean peninsula allegedly to "deter the North Korean forces," Jiji reported. This proves that the U.S. is persistently seeking its design to stifle the DPRK by "strength." Japanese reactionaries warned against their moves for reinvasion Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA)-- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary assails the Japanese reactionaries for channeling everything into their moves to reconquer Korea after making it the primary target of their aggression overseas. Japan is getting ever more frantic in its moves to redeploy its units to be favorable for its reinvasion of Korea and in its war drills, while equipping the "Self-Defence Forces" with sophisticated weapons, the commentary notes, and goes on: Their loudmouthed "declaration on the renouncement of war" is nothing but a charade intended to create the impression that they are working for "peace," not for war. Their much talk about "renouncement of war" just reminds one of a wolf pretending to be a lamb. The Japanese reactionaries are dreaming of war, not peace, and watching for a chance to set out on reconquest of Korea. "Renouncement of war" on their lips is no more than a subterfuge to win popularity and achieve their political design. The DPRK can never remain a passive onlooker to their moves for reinvasion but have no option but to take a corresponding measure. The Japanese reactionaries should bear in mind that their moves for reconquest will entail irretrievable consequences. Absurd assertion of Japan Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today comments on Japan's assertion that the settlement of the "suspected kidnapping" is the key to the improvement of DPRK-Japan relations. The assertion is a preposterous sophism of no value, the news analyst says, and goes on: The reason why the issue of DPRK-Japan relations has not yet been resolved lies in that Japan has not made an apology and compensation for the past misfortune and sufferings upon the Korean people but continued its hostile policy toward the DPRK. Lurking behind the absurd assertion of Japan is an ulterior intention to contort the character of DPRK-Japan relations improvement so as to shirk the responsibility for the settlement of the past by all means. It is not merely to vent the past national wrath and grudge that the DPRK demands Japan's settlement of the past. It is necessary for the DPRK and Japan to achieve a lasting peace and harmony as near and good neighbors. That is why the DPRK raises Japan's settlement of the past as the hardcore matter of DPRK-Japan relations improvement. Japan should not resort to such a smear sophism as the "suspected kidnapping" but make an honest redress for the past, which is its moral obligations and the requirement of the times. It will be a right conduct to relieve Japan from a moral and physical ruin. Korea's reunification proposals favored Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- Roberto Gabriele, general secretary of the central committee of the Italian Movement For Peace and Socialism, signed the signature paper supporting the three-point charter of Korea's reunification on June 5 on behalf of the party. Kim Il Sung's reminiscences published in Bulgaria Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- Vol. 2 of part 1 the anti-Japanese revolution of "With the Century," the reminiscences of the President Kim Il Sung, was brought out by the Narodna Tribuna Publishing House of Bulgaria on May 30. For Spanish-speaking people "amenaza de misiles de norcorea" es farsa enganosa pyongyang, 10 de junio (atcc) -- segun informaciones robert einhorn, asistente del secretario de estado norteamericano encargado de no proliferacion de armas nucleares dijo el 7 del mes en curso que el plan de "defensa nacional de misiles" de ee.uu. es para detener la "amenaza de misiles " de la rpdc. este plan "tiene la meta de contrarrestar la amenaza que se considera provenga de los paises como norcorea, es decir las amenazas de misiles que reaparecen", cacareo el. esto no pasa de ser una perorata para racionalizar y justificar su plan de "defensa nacional de misiles" encaminado a ocupar la heguemonia militar en el mundo y procurar un pretexto para llevarlo a efecto. este plan constituye una nueva edicion del plan estadounidense de "guerra de las galaxias" de la epoca de la guerra fria. a fin de eludir la repulsion de la opinion interna y externa ee.uu. presento primero el plan del "teatro de defensa misil" y el ano pasado proclamo como politica del estado la explotacion y ubicacion del sistema de "defensa nacional de misiles" pretextando el lanzamiento del satelite artificial de tierra de la rpdc en 1998. de hecho restauro el plan de la "guerra de las galaxias". robert einhorn dijo mentiras de que el sistema de "defensa nacional de misiles no estara esgrimido a china ni producira la carrera armamentista en asia ni destruira el equilibrio estrategico del mundo". la "amenaza de misiles" de la rpdc no pasa de ser una farsa para ocultar el blanco principal del plan de "defensa nacional de misiles" y enganar la opinion mundial y asi justificar sus maquinaciones de dominio militar. atcc denuncia a ee.uu. que elude responsabilidad pyongyang, 10 de junio (atcc) -- esta en peligro el destino del acuerdo basico rpdc-ee.uu. en que el segundo se compromete a tomar con responsabilidad las medidas para ofrecer a la primera los reactores de agua ligera segun la carta de garantia del presidente estadounidense. es conocido por todos el hecho de que ee.uu. en contraste con la actitud leal de la rpdc en cuanto a la ejecucion del acuerdo se limito a hablar de la construccion de los reactores de agua ligera y entrego muy irregularmente a la rpdc el petroleo crudo como energia alternativa creando asi gran confusion y dificultad en la gestion economica de ella. al respecto la rpdc advirtio ya en reiteradas ocasiones a los ee.uu. y le exigio dar prueba de credulidad con la ejecucion sincera e inmediata de los puntos del acuerdo. pero la parte norteamericana no abandona tal posicion y actitud e incluso en estos dias recurre a viles artimanas tendentes a liberarse de su responsabilidad del incumplimiento del acuerdo basico. citemos un ejemplo. el informe de averiguacion del congreso norteamericano recientemente dado a conocer se senala: "existe gran posibilidad de disponer de muchas armas nucleares a traves del desarrollo de la tecnologia de fabricacion de bombas nucleares con la asistencia de los cientificos rusos" y "hay un informe y pruebas que demuestran la posibilidad de la importacion ilicita de plutonio de rusia". la publicacion del informe coincide con la demanda por la rpdc de la recompensacion del atraso del ofrecimiento de reactores de agua ligera de ee.uu. y como tal deviene un acto bandidesco enderezado a descargar a ella su responsabilidad del incumplimiento del acuerdo basico. ee.uu. reconocio que despues de publicado el acuerdo basico no se tardaron en congelarse todas las actividades nucleares de la rpdc y no puede haber ninguna sospecha de ello. constituye un reconocimiento de tal realidad la publicacion de la declaracion del departamento de estado estadounidense relativa a su presente visita a la instalacion subterranea de la comuna de kumchang y su resultado. tal visita se habia realizado tambien el ano pasado. por eso tambien rusia publico una informacion que niega el informe de averiguacion del congreso estadounidense en la cual subrayo: "este informe es evidentemente prejuiciado e inutil para crear una atmosfera favorable a la solucion de la cuestion de la peninsula coreana y la efectuacion exitosa de las conversaciones de nivel supremo norte-sur de corea". ee.uu. debe asumir la responsabilidad de la recompensacion de la perdida economica ocasionada por la dilacion de la construccion de los reactores de agua ligera, de su incumplimiento del acuerdo basico y del peligro que corre este documento y actuar con buena fe. __________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
