S. Korean prosecution threatens to sternly deal with workers' struggle
  Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- The South Korean prosecution "declared
a war" against the workers' struggle against the restructuring of financial
institutions and enterprises, after branding it as "mass egoistic violence",
according to Yonhap News of South Korea. The prosecution will reportedly
hold a "national meeting of prosecutors for public peace" in march in order
to adopt and put into practice a "guideline for public peace operation"
chiefly aimed to crack down upon workers' struggle.
 The prosecution decided to arrest and take legal actions against all the
prime movers of "massive disturbances" without exception including strike
and organize and operate "arrest squads" at local public prosecutor's
offices and police offices across South Korea, not depending on police only
for arrest of people.



Seminar on Juche idea held in Ukraine
  Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- A national seminar on the Juche idea
entitled "The Juche Idea is a Guiding Idea of the 21st Century" took place
in Kiev on Feb. 17 on the occasion of leader Kim Jong Il's birthday. Genadi
Dmitrivich Berdyshev, vice-chairman of the Ukraine-DPRK Association, in his
congratulatory address said that it was of special significance in the
movement for the revival of socialism in Ukraine to hold a national seminar
on the Juche idea. 
 Polishuk, chairman of the Ukrainian Association for the Study of the
Juche Idea, in his report said that socialism has entered a new stage of its
development because Kim Jong Il has wisely led the world socialist movement
holding aloft the banner of the Juche idea.
 He continued: 
 The Juche idea is a great guiding idea of the era which indicates a road
for humankind to follow.
 Humankind, who has entered a new century, new millennium, will certainly
revive socialism under the banner of the Juche idea. The 21st century will
be a century in which the victory of the Juche idea would be proclaimed.
 Speakers noted that Korean socialism, to which the Juche idea has been
applied, is most ideal socialism they should build in future.
 A letter to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the seminar.



Utterance of former Japan defence agency chief blasted
  Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- Norota, former director general of the
Japan Defence Agency, was reported to have asserted in a recent lecture that
"the war for greater east Asia put an end to the colonial rule over Asia".
This outburst has come under fire in a signed article of Rodong Sinmun
today. The commentary says: The Japanese ultra-rightists do not feel guilty
for Japan's past aggression at all but are keen on presenting a distorted
picture of it. 
 The Japanese imperialists' invasion of the continent was most vicious,
barbarous and inhuman act of aggression in human history.
 The Japanese aggressor troops perpetrated such shuddering crimes as
killing everyone, setting fire to and destroying everything and looting
everything. 
 The Korean people liberated the country through several decades of an
arduous bloody struggle against the Japanese imperialists.
 After world war ii history meted out deserved punishment to them and
accordingly, Japan still remains an "enemy state."
 But the Japanese reactionaries are totally denying this.
 They have deep-rooted ambition for aggression and are thirsty for
revenge. 
 They are dreaming of war of aggression, not peace, and working hard to
dominate again Korea and other Asian countries, the commentary stresses.

DPRK circus awarded highest prize in Italy

   Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- Aerial acrobatics "flying girls" of the
Pyongyang Circus of the DPRK was
awarded the highest prize at the International Joint Circus Performance in
Italy.
The prize was awarded under the sponsorship of the World Talents
Association, the World Circus Association
of Italy and the National Circus Federation of Italy before the first
performance in Genoa on Feb. 11.
Egidio Palmeri, chairman of the National Circus Federation of Italy,
told the audience before the prize-awarding
ceremony that the highest prize was awarded to the acrobatics of the DPRK
at a significant time when the diplomatic
relations were established between Italy and the DPRK.
There are at least 150 circuses, large and small, in Italy with a long
circus history but none of them has been
awarded the highest prize, and circuses of many countries have come but the
prize has never been awarded to
circuses of other countries, he said.
He expressed his gratitude to Kim Jong Il, the great leader of Korea,
for sending such excellent acrobatics to
Italy.
Padric Tonadegui, director of the art department of the organizing
committee of the Monte Carlo International
Circus Festival, said that it is very natural and just that the highest
prize was awarded only to the aerial acrobatics of
the DPRK at the international joint circus performance.
Yedi Murillo, chairman of the World Talents Association, noted that as
one of organizers of the international
joint circus performance he had never felt pride like this time.
No others have rocked the world with so new, unique and fine circus
skill as the DPRK did, he said.
A small group of the Pyongyang Circus performed in Milano, Savona and
Genoa.
