    Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- The Democratic Workers' Party of south Korea reportedly launched into a one million signature campaign for the abolition of the "Security Law" on the street in front of the party building in Youido, Seoul, on Sept. 16. On display in the street were pieces of literature calling for the abolition of the SL.
    Representative Kim Hye Gyong and supreme members of the party and members of the student committee under the party collected signatures from citizens.
    Supreme member of the party Yu Son Hui, who is chairperson of the special committee for the abolition of the SL, declared that the signature campaign would sweep all areas every Thursday.


U.S. Solidarity Committee Formed

    Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- The U.S. Solidarity Committee for Supporting the Struggle of the National Democratic Front of south Korea and the South Korean People was inaugurated. John Paul Cupp, chairman of the U.S. Group for the Study of the Songun Policies, was elected chairman of the solidarity committee.
    In an inaugural declaration the solidarity committee said that neither the genuine political sovereignty of the south Korean people nor the reunification of Korea, the cherished desire of the whole Korean nation, can be achieved unless more than 40,000 U.S. troops are pulled back from south Korea and the U.S. political and military domination over it is terminated.
    The south Korean patriotic people have joined hands with their brethren in north Korea under the banner of the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, a product of the great Songun politics of Kim Jong Il, the outstanding leader of the Korean nation and the sun of the 21st century, the declaration said. They are now all out in the sacred decisive struggle to drive the U.S. imperialist aggression troops out of south Korea through the Korean nation's confrontation with the U.S. and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country without fail by the concerted efforts of the nation.
    The task of the solidarity committee issued by it is to take the lead in the international solidarity activities to put pressure on the U.S. reactionary ruling quarters to withdraw the U.S. imperialist aggression troops from south Korea at once, sign a non-aggression treaty with the DPRK and stop interfering in the internal affairs of the Korean nation and, at the same time, to positively support the Korean nation's just cause of achieving the independent and peaceful reunification of the country under the banner of the North-South Joint Declaration.
    Meanwhile, the Internet homepage opened by the solidarity committee posted six photos of the three generals of Mt. Paektu.


U.S. Double Standards Assailed

    Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- A Rodong Sinmun analyst Monday hits at the jugglery employed by the United States to gloss over the cases of secret nuclear-related experiments in south Korea, which have given rise to international controversy. The news analyst says:
    The U.S. has lorded it over in south Korea militarily and politically for nearly 60 years and all steps of great magnitude there have been taken with the prior endorsement and permission of the U.S. It is like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand that the U.S. is wearing an air of innocence over the secret nuclear activities of south Korea.
    We make it plain that the nuclear activities of south Korea were an inevitable offspring of the U.S. policy of double standards.
    Failing to produce any scientific evidence, the U.S. is persistently trying to find fault with the DPRK over the fictitious "uranium enrichment", thus creating tension on the Korean peninsula.
    While trying to ban even the peaceful nuclear activities of the countries out of its favor even by cooking up groundless "information" for the mere reason that they are different from it in ideology and system, it transfers nuclear technology to its allies and connives at their development and possession of nuclear weapons. This well shows how contradictory, one-sided and unjustifiable is the double standards of the U.S.
    It is self-evident that the DPRK can never drop its nuclear program when the U.S. is trying to cover up the secret nuclear activities of south Korea by applying the double standards to the nuclear issue.
    The cases of secret nuclear experiments made under a scrupulous plan in south Korea under the manipulation of the U.S. prove that the U.S. from the very beginning intended to use the six-party talks for disarming the DPRK, not for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. That was why it totally demolished the basis of the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula when there were some signs of positive movement toward it at the third round of the six-party talks.
    Absolutely just is the stand of the DPRK not to give up its nuclear program under the present situation.
    If a nuclear race is to be prevented in Northeast Asia, the U.S. should come to the conference table for the substantial settlement of the nuclear issue with the will to practically renounce its hostile policy towards the DPRK, the root cause of the occurrence of the nuclear issue.
    We will decide on our next action while closely watching the U.S. moves with regard to its double standards in the nuclear issue and the correction of its hostile policy toward the DPRK.


GNP's Traitorous Nature Disclosed

    Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Monday carries a commentator's article disclosing the crime-woven history of the Grand National Party as it is making desperate efforts to scuttle the probe into the past crimes, an issue that has sparked off an acute political confrontation in south Korea. The article cites concrete facts to prove that the GNP of south Korea has stood against the probe into the past crimes, afraid of the possible full disclosure of its pro-Japanese treachery, pro-U.S. flunkeyism, fascist dictatorship, corruption and irregularities and crimes it committed against the nation by inciting confrontation with its fellow countrymen.
    The article goes on:
    In its more than 50 year-long history the GNP has been preceded by the Liberal Party of traitor Syngman Rhee, the Democratic Republican Party of the Yushin dictator, the Democratic Justice Party during the fifth republic, the Democratic Liberal Party during the sixth republic, the New Korea Party of traitor Kim Young Sam. Despite the passage of this long time its traitorous nature remains unchanged.
    Pro-Japanese treachery is GNP's characteristic feature which has been inherited since the very beginning of its history.
    Major posts of the GNP and its forerunners are held by those who served the Imperial Japanese Army or institutions run by the Japanese imperialists in the past and their descendents.
    The coteries of the Democratic Republican Party were pro-Japanese traitors who signed the south Korea-Japan Treaty without batting an eyelid, though its conclusion had been blocked by the strong opposition of south Koreans and conflicting views on both sides.
    They introduced carnal and corrupt Japanese culture, thus poisoning the nation's soul and converting south Korea into a garbage ground of national culture.
    The GNP and its predecessors are a group of special class pro-U.S. stooges.
    As far as those who created and led the GNP and its predecessors are concerned, they were bosses of special class traitors who took the lead in pro-U.S. treacherous acts.
    They signed the south Korea-U.S. "mutual defence treaty" and "status of forces agreement", providing funds needed for the presence of the U.S. troops in south Korea, granting them extraterritorial privileges while imposing submission, disgrace and misfortune upon the south Korean people.
    The GNP is the general headquarters of fascists.
    The predecessors of the GNP were the fascist ruling juntas unprecedented in history.
    The dictatorship enforced by the Liberal Party and the Democratic Republican Party was succeeded to by the dictators of the fifth and the sixth republics which quelled the "spring of democracy" through the May 17 fascist suppression and committed the Kwangju massacre unprecedented in history and then by the notorious "civilian" fascists.
    The GNP has prolonged its remaining days by the force of the Security Law (SL), a fascist evil law, as it used the SL as a means for maintaining its dictatorship and a leverage for fascist suppression.
    Its desperate efforts to keep it in force were prompted by a sinister intention to revive fascist dictatorship as they are nothing but the last-ditch efforts of those on their deathbeds.
    The most vicious and inveterate traitorous habit of the GNP finds its expression in its confrontation with fellow countrymen and anti-reunification acts.
    Its predecessors had ceaselessly been hell bent on the moves for confrontation and war against the north where fellow countrymen live, backed by the outsiders for the past scores of years.
    The GNP's moves for confrontation with the north and anti-reunification acts have reached an extreme phase.
    When the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration was published the GNP opposed it, saying that its first paragraph may result in the withdrawal of the U.S. forces and the collapse of the "alliance" with the U.S. and its second paragraph calls for giving up the liberal democratic system and accepting the north-proposed federal system of Koryo.
    The party has also hamstrung every effort to implement the joint declaration, finding fault with it.
    It was none other than the GNP treacherous group which in its "policy statement" branded the north as a "sponsor of terrorism" and "principal enemy" even in this era after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration when the reconciliation and cooperation between the north and the south and independent reunification have become a trend of the times.
    The probe into the truth behind the past history in south Korea should be aimed at judging and punishing the crime-woven past of the GNP.
    There is no justification for the criminal and treacherous group like the GNP to stay any longer today when the liquidation of the crime-woven past is high on agenda and has become a trend of the times.

Intolerable pauta de doble rasero de EE.UU.

    Pyongyang, 20 de septiembre (ATCC) -- En relacion con que Estados Unidos intenta minimizar los casos de pruebas nucleares secretas del Sur de Corea que suscitan el debate en el ambito internacional, el diario Rodong Sinmun inserto el dia 20 un comentario individual. Estados Unidos lleva cerca de 60 anos de dominio militar-politico sobre el Sur de Corea y todos los asuntos de importancia en esta parte se decidian bajo la aprobacion y la licencia previas de ese imperio.
    Las actividades nucleares secretas del Sur de Corea son un producto inevitable de la politica de Estados Unidos que aplica la pauta de doble rasero.
    Este pais, sin presentar ninguna prueba cientifica, acusa obstinadamente a la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea del "problema de enriquecimiento de uranio" exacerbando asi la tension de la Peninsula Coreana.
    Trata de suprimir a base de "informaciones" infundadas hasta las actividades nucleares pacificas de los paises con ideologia y regimen distintos a los suyos, y al mismo tiempo, transfiere a sus aliados la tecnologia nuclear y tolera el desarrollo y la posesion de armas nucleares de estos. Este doble rasero de Estados Unidos es contradictorio, unilateral e injusto.
    Estados Unidos se propone tolerar con la pauta de doble rasero el asunto de las actividades nucleares secretas del Sur de Corea y por lo tanto, es logico que la RPDC no pueda renunciar de ninguna manera a su plan nuclear.
    Los casos de pruebas nucleares secretas que se proseguian de modo premeditado en el Sur de Corea bajo la manipulacion norteamericana demuestran a las claras que Estados Unidos se valian desde el principio de las conversaciones a seis bandas para desarmar a la RPDC en vez de lograr la desnuclearizacion en la Peninsula Coreana. Por eso, Estados Unidos deshizo por completo la base de la tercera ronda de dichas conversaciones al ver ciertos movimientos positivos encaminados a la desnuclearizacion de la Peninsula Coreana.
    Bajo tal circunstancia resulta del todo justa la posicion de la RPDC de no renunciar el plan nuclear.
    Para detener el advenimiento de la carrera armamentista nuclear en el Nordeste Asiatico, Estados Unidos debe salir a la mesa de conversaciones para encontrar una solucion sustancial al problema nuclear con la voluntad de renunciar en lo practico su politica hostil a la RPDC, que genero el diferendo nuclear.
    La RPDC tomara la decision para las acciones posteriores observando atentamente el movimiento de rectificacion de EE.UU. de la pauta de doble rasero en el asunto nuclear y de su politica hostil a aquella.
