5 OSAKA TEACHERS' UNION ADVOCATES U.S. TROOP WITHDRAWAL Pyongyang KCNA in English 1^37 GMT 2k Jan 77 OW /Text7 Pyongyang, 2k Jan (KCNA)---The 37Uth Central Committee meeting of the Osaka Teachers Union of Japan was held at the Osaka Educational Hall on the 13th, according to a KNS report from Tokyo. The meeting unanimously adopted a resolution demanding the withdrawal of the U.S. troops from South Korea and radical change of the Japanese Government's Korean policy. The resolution denounced the United States for unilaterally declaring South Korea its "forward defence zone" and keeping its troops in South Korea in disregard of the resolution of the 30th session of the United Nations General Assembly on the Korean question. The U.S. troops' occupation of South Korea is not only a great hurdle to the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea but also a great threat to peace and security of Korea and Asia. We demand the prompt withdrawal of the U.S. troops from South Korea, protest against the Japanese Government's manoeuvres and call for radical change of its Korean policy. CSO: h920

6 PLANNEB TRIAL OF ROK STUDENTS DRAWS 'NODCNG SINMUN' IRE Pyongyang KCNA in English 1^35 GMT 18 Jan 77 OW /Text7 Pyongyang, 18 Jan (KCNA)--The Pak Chong-hui puppet clique who prolong their remaining days by suppression will have to pay a dear price for their repression, warns today's NODONG SINMUN. The fascist hangmen of South Korea have detained for nearly 1^ months the Seoul collegians, who waged a mass struggle against the puppets' fascist terror rule, treacheries and bribery scandal in December last year, and savagely tortured them to invent "charges" against them and are going to refer them to a murderous "trial" for inflicting penalties upon them. Lashing at this brutal act, the paper says in a commentary: As for the struggle of the Seoul collegians, this is a resistance against the fascist and predatory rule of the puppets who have turned South Korea into a human butcher house and an eruption of their national resentment against the treacherous acts of the gangsters trying hard to prolong their remaining days under the patronage of foreign forces, even offering them a large amount of dollars and women. This entirely just act of the collegians can by no means become a crime. The commentary observes: This notwithstanding, the Pak Chong-hui puppet clique arrested these students and have put them to monstrous tortures. This is a patent proof that the puppets' brutal suppression is assuming an extremely criminal nature with each passing day. Pointing out that the Pak Chong-hui military fascist clique, who leave no means and method untried to stifle the South Korean students' daily mounting struggle against fascism and for democracy, knocked into shape the fascist military organisation called "Students Homeland Defence Corps" designed to watch and control every movement of the students and are frequently herding them out to powder-reeking military drills, the commentary notes: This is an unheard-of criminal act and a virulent challenge to the patriotic people. It brands the Pak Chong-hui clique as military hoodlums who, having neither politics nor logic, know only bayonet-brandishing.

7 The struggle of the people will go on unless the colonial fascist rule of the U.S. imperialists and their stooges the Pak Chong-hui puppet clique is terminated in South Korea and the struggle of the students will also continue so long as the puppets persist in their treacheries, the commentary notes, and continues: The South Korean students' struggle is part of the struggle of the South Korean people at large. It is a natural outcome of the colonial and fascist rule of the foreign aggressors and the South Korean puppet clique. With no brutal repression can the Pak Chong-hui puppet clique arrest the struggle of the South Korean students, declares the commentary in closing. CSO: U920

8 PAPER SCORES PAK FOR IRREGULARITIES IN SOUTH KOREA. Pyongyang KCNA in English l$$k GMT 2k Jan 77 OW /Review of 2k January NODONG SINMUN commentary/ /Text7 Pyongyang, 2k Jan (KCNA) The Pak Chong-hui puppet clique are these days kicking up the frantic din of firing and expelling the "dishonest civil servants" with the mobilisation of the "inspection teams," talking about the "eradication of irregularities" and "establishment of official discipline" after their bribery vis-a-vis the United States had been exposed to the world. Commenting on this racket, NODONG SINMUN today says: Large numbers of "civil servants suspected of misconducts" have already been expelled after becoming the target of "eradication of irregularities." But no one in the puppet ruling quarters has been branded as "civil servants suspected of misconducts" and purged. Noting that the mastermind of the "dishonest civil servants" in South Korea is in the puppet ruling quarters, the commentary says: All those in the present reactionary ruling quarters are without exception illicit moneymakers who have raked up a ridiculous amount of wealth by swindle. Pak Chong-hui the traitor, the commentary says, is the ringleader of illicit accumulation of wealth. Since the "military coup" this bastard has pocketed 100 billion won and squandered $7 million of the "national treasury" for the bribing operation vis-a-vis U.S. congressmen. The commentary recalls that the Pak Chong-hui puppet clique have systematically offered big bribes to liberal democratic Dietmen of Japan. The Pak Chong-hui puppet clique's outcry over "eradicating irregularities" is a deceptive trick and farce designed to lull the daily mounting anti- "government" sentiments of the people and cover up their crimes, it observes,

9 and continues: Another aim pursued by the South Korean puppets in this din is to remove the commotion and uneasiness within the ruling quarters bycreating a terror-ridden atmosphere under the slogan of "eradication of irregularities," liquidate the elements going against the grain with them and thus build a foothold for one-man fascist dictatorship. The commentary says in conclusion: The mastermind of irregularities is Pak Chong-hui the traitor and traitor Pak Chong-hui himself is the very criminal who must be expelled before any others.

Hwang-Sam-yong, a leading member of the Seoul City Committee of the Revolutionary Party for Reunification, said: The New Year address of the Great Leader is a textbook of socialist construction which summed up with high pride the great victory won last year in the North by performing miracles of human historic significance and indicated a brighter road of socialist construction.

It is the greatest and cherished national desire of the entire Korean people to reunify their divided country at the earliest possible date, and this poses itself as an ever more burning demand as years go by and time flows." Respected and beloved Comrade Kim Il-song, the great leader, said these words, deeply concerned for the fatherland which has been divided for over 30 years, Pae Yong-Sun noted, and said: We cannot but feel guilty of our failure to lessen the care /word as received7 of the great leader.

14 PAPER URGES YOUTH TO LEARN FROM KIM'S CHILDHOOD Pyongyang KCNA in English l U2 GMT 22 Jan 77 OW /fodong SINMUN 22 January editorial: "Let All the Youth and Children Firmly Prepare Themselves as True Successors to the Cause of Chuche_ 7 / ext_7 Pyongyang, 22 Jan (KCNA) Today marks the lapse of 2 years since the great leader Marshal Kim Il-song left the native home in Mangyongdae on the "One-Thousand-Ri Long Trip for Restoration" with a grand aspiration to restore the fatherland. On this significant anniversary, NODONG SINMUN 22 January runs an editorial headlined "Let All the Youth and Children Firmly Prepare Themselves as True Successors to the Cause of Chuche." The editorial says: Now the youth and children throughout the country are vigorously waging a movement for learning from the Great Leader's glorious youth and childhood through their extensive extracurricular activities and study, including an excursion along the course of the "One-Thousand-Ri Long Trip for Restoration." For all the youth and children to firmly prepare themselves as ardent communist revolutionaries of chuche type by learning from the Great Leader's youth and childhood is, indeed, a worthy and glorious work for bringing into bloom through generations the revolutionary cause started by the respected and beloved leader. The respected and beloved leader Marshal Kim Il-song has taught: "Our younger generation is entrusted with the sacred task of carrying forward the brilliant revolutionary traditions and achievements of the struggles born of the Korean communist movement from the time of the anti-japanese armed struggle to present socialist construction, and of ensuring the complete victory of socialism and communism in Korea." 10

15 Saying that the younger generation which is growing as the reserves of our revolution is faced with a heavy yet worthy task today, the editorial continues: Our younger generation is the glorious generation assuming the lofty mission of accomplishing the cause of dyeing whole society with the chuche idea along the road of revolution hewn by the Great Leader after he started on the "One- Thousand-Ri Long Trip for Restoration." We must reunify the divided fatherland at the earliest possible date and build a paradise of socialism and communism on the soil of the fatherland. The youth and children who are to carry forward the revolutionary cause must be prepared more firmly as they have a long way to go and much work to do. Only when the members of the rising generation are reliably prepared as revolutionaries of chuche type, the builders of socialism and communism, the prospects of our revolution get brighter and the cause of dyeing whole society with the chuche idea is brought to brilliant accomplishment through generations. To become staunch revolutionary fighters who never change their minds and never vacillate, they must nurse spotlessly pure and clean loyalty deep in their hearts for the Great Leader and the party in the days of their youth and childhood when their spiritual world is as clean as a sheet of white paper. Only when our youth and children actively strive to thoroughly revolutionise themselves can they successfully carry forward the revolutionary traditions of the anti-japanese struggle and continue with the revolution to the end, not stopping the struggle, even if time flows and the new generation succeeds the old. Noting that the Great Leader has shown most profound care for the younger generation, the editorial says: The youth and children should further display their honour as the guard detachment and death-defying corps in accomplishing the historic cause of dyeing whole society with the chuche idea, deeply cherishing in their hearts the great benevolence of the respected and beloved leader. What is most important for all the youth and children in preparing themselves as revolutionaries of chuche type is to make tireless efforts to study the Great Leader's youth and childhood as they are and faithfully follow his example, in warm response to the militant call of the party: "Let us learn from the glorious youth and childhood of the Great LeaderI" 11

16 The editorial continues: The respected and beloved leader in his early years cultivated his grand aspirations for the revolution to devote his all only to the revolution, making the lengthy and arduous "One-Thousand-Hi Long Trip for Study" and "One-Thousand-Ri-Long Trip for Restoration" and firmly resolving not to return before he restored the fatherland, with a gnawing ache in his heart at the tragic sight of the overridden fatherland and at the thought of the sufferings of the stateless people. The Great Leader ardently loved the fatherland and the people and bitterly hated imperialism, landlords and capitalists, the enemies, and energetically studied and gave himself to constant meditation to find a new road of revolution. The lofty revolutionary idea and noble traits carried by the Great Leader in his youth and childhood are a great pattern which the youth and children should study and follow to become revolutionaries. The movement of learning from the glorious days of youth and childhood of the Great Leader put forward by the party is a great movement which makes all the youth and children feel the high honour and worth of revolutionaries and steadfastly leads them along the road of revolution, the road of socialism and communism, indicated by the Great Leader. Ill our youth and children, with a clear understanding of the true meaning of this loyal movement, should earnestly study and take, for example, the days of youth and childhood of the Great Leader in their study, organisational life, extracurricular activities and in all other fields and prepare themselves still better as revolutionaries of chuche type.

17 INDOCTRINATING YOUTH WITH LOYALTY TO KIM IL-SONG Pyongyang NODONG CH'ONGNYON in Korean 18 Dec 76 p 2 [Article by Pak Yong-tok and Kim Kyong-ho: "Let Us Foster Youth and Children as Chuche-type Revolutionaries by Effectively Carrying Out the Indoctrination in Loyalty to Our Great Leader From SWYL Committee Work in Hoeryong County."] [Text] Indoctrination with boundless loyalty to our great leader and the glorious Party Center this forms a basic core in the political and ideological indoctrination of youth. Holding high the slogan, "Let Us Follow and Learn From Our Great Leader!" during the preceding period, the Hoeryong County SWYL Committee vigorously developed a movement to cause the youth and children to thoroughly study our respected and beloved leader's immortal concept of chuche, and his glorious and resplendent revolutionary history, and especially to cause them to follow and learn from our great leader's glorious childhood and youth. It also gave thorough attention to the task of causing youth and children to emulate the example of the members of the Korean People's Revolutionary Forces who were boundlessly loyal to our great leader. Several of their experiences are introduced in the following. To Emulate the Loyalty Hotter Than Fire Marshal Kjm Il-song, the respected and beloved leader, taught us, "We must emulate the revolutionary struggle of our revolutionary forerunners and inherit and develop their fighting spirit. Thus, we must ensure that all fight for the unification and independence of the fatherland and for the ultimate victory of the Korean revolution with the revolutionary and indomitable fighting spirit with which the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas fought in the thick forests of Paektu. In fostering our growing youth and children as ardent revolutionaries who possess a devoted loyalty to our great leader and to the glorious Party Center, it is of extreme importance to indoctrinate them to emulate the boundless loyalty which the members of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla forces had for our great leader. 13

18 The Hoeryong County Committee of the SWYL always focused its attention in this work, which possesses such an important place in the indoctrination in loyalty to our great leader, on causing them to follow and learn from the boundless loyalty of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the immortal paragon of the chuche-type communist revolutionary. This was so because the central work of the SWYL lies in the indoctrination of all youth and children with boundless loyalty to our great leader, and especially because the immortal revolutionary achievements of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the paragon of the chuche-type communist revolutionary who posseses a boundless loyalty to our great leader, are nestled in the soil of Hoeryong. Indeed, the life of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable communist revolutionary fighter, is a glorious life embellished with the warmest and most noble kind of loyalty to our great leader, and it provides instruction concerning how the revolutionary loyal to our fatherly leader should live and fight. And the very soil of Hoeryong is a historic place where the noble life of Mother Kim Chong-suk is contained which makes every heart burn with boundless loyalty to our fatherly leader. Every time they look up to the bronze statue of Mother Kim Chong-suk, which soars high at the foot of Osandok, the youth and children of this county warmly feel the boundlessly noble revolutionary spirit of our Mother who lived every minute of her life with single loyalty to our fatherly leader and gladly devoted even her youth and life to the fight along the sole path of revolution which he led. Even in a clump of grass and in the trees, our Mother's noble spirit of loyalty is harbored, making it impossible to look at them indifferently. Let us bloom as revolutionary blossoms with sincere and full loyalty to our greatvleader, like Mother Kim Chong-suk, who demonstrated for us a life of the noblest loyalty! Let us forever deeply admire and support our great leader with loyalty, and carry on the chuche revolutionary cause generation after generation, following the rays of the guidance from the glorious Party Center, and let our loyalty more fully bloom in this soil! The hearts of SWYL members in the country are thus filled with a burning loyalty and determination. Therefore, the Hoeryong County SWYL Committee planned and organized with purpose and aim the task of causing youth and children to actively follow and learn from the boundless loyalty to our great leader which Mother Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable communist revolutionary fighter, demonstrated, while further boosting our youth's and children's brimming passion of loyalty and wisdom. 14

19 First of all, the county SWYL committee concentrated its efforts on causing all youth and children within the county to thoroughly study and completely understand the revolutionary life and activities of the boundlessly noble loyalty of Mother Kim Chong-suk, who devoted her utmost solely to our fatherly leader in her fight. For this purpose, with specific plans for each month and each quarter, the county SWYL had all primary level SWYL organizations and Young Pioneers organizations in the county develop on a regular and strong basis the task of intensively explaining and bringing home to our youth and children the noble life and revolutionary activities of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable revolutionary fighter who fought with single devotion to our great leader. The county SWYL committee organized and carried out this task in a concentrated manner by using the birthday and death anniversaries of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the paragon of the chuche-type communist revolutionary, as advantageous occasions. In observing these anniversaries, the county SWYL committee had our youth and children thoroughly learn through intensive study, speeches, and propaganda concerning how Mother Kim Chong-suk throughout her life continuously admired and trusted Marshal Kim Il-song, the great revolutionary leader whom our people met for the first time in their several thousand years of history, and whom they completely supported; how she strongly defended him politically, ideologically, and with her very life; how she adopted our great leader's concept of chuche as her firm conviction; and how she unconditionally and thoroughly implemented the orders and instructions he issued without even the slightest deviation. Thus, all the youth and children of the county, led by SWYL members at the Koksan factory of Hoeryong and at Tokhung-ri, and by Young Pioneers at Hoeryong Girls' Senior High School, reached a level where they could talk without stumbling about the noble life and revolutionary activities of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the immortal paragon of the chuche-type communist revolutionary fighter, which were resplendently embellished with a boundless loyalty to our great leader. The county SWYL committee was not content with this. The loyalty of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable communist revolutionary fighter, to our great leader, reached a pinnacle of sublimity matchless in its heat and intensity. The county SWYL continuously intensified the task of emulating the loyalty to our great leader which was hotter than fire and which marked every stage of Mother Kim Chong-suk 1 s noble life with breadth and depth in various forms and ways. 15

20 As an example, we might mention the fact that the low level SWYL at Hoeryong Paper Factory carried out indoctrination through study and discussion meetings concerning the recollections by her "Gem-like Heart," so as to cause SWYL members to warmly engrave in their hearts the revolutionary spirit of unconditionally and absoluteness which Mother Kim Chong-suk demonstrated in her implementation of our great leader's orders and instructions. It was 3 days after members of the Korean People's Revolutionary Forces prepared a feast for the autumn moon festival in 1939, at Olgigang, Hwaryonghyon, and merrily celebrated their holiday. On that day, our great leader summoned the sewing team members and assigned them the task of making winter military uniforms distributing them to all members within the period of one month in anticipation of the large unit encirclement operations to be planned and carried out in the forthcoming winter. But it was never an easy task to make military uniforms to be distributed to all troops within only one month. There were more than just one or two obstacles: for instance, the biggest problem was that there was only one needle per sewing machine. And if a needle was broken, it would have been impossible to make winter military uniforms in time for winter. But, her heart inflamed with the single determination to make winter military uniforms no matter what within the target date which our great leader was so concerned about, Mother Kim Chong-suk, who was in charge of operating the sewing machines, repeatedly sharpened her needle whenever its hole wore out, rapidly operated her sewing machine, and actively helped with the work of other sewing team members. Also, even during the late night and early morning hours while others slept, she would stealthily get up and work alone, helping to lessen the volume of that vast work. When the work reached the point where there were only 10 more military uniforms to sew, the hole in the only sewing machine needle that had survived the hard use broke. Therefore, sewing machine team members proposed to Mother Kim Chong-suk to sew by hand the remaining few military uniforms. Mother responded then by saying that those military uniforms sewed by machine and those by hand could not be the same. She placed the holeless needle in the machine and operated it, holding thread with one hand so as not to let the thread slip, and she sewed the last set. Thanks to the devoted struggle 16

21 of Mother Kim Chong-suk, who cared not about her own health at all while tenaciously grappling with the sewing of military uniforms, the sewing of winter military uniforms for all the members of the troops was successfully completed in less than a month. Thus, the unit was able to carry out the great encirclement operations without a hitch as planned. The low level SWYL committee at Hoeryong Paper Factory movingly told this immortal story of loyalty contained in the recollections, raised the problem of what should be emulated in this, and guided members to discuss it. In this process, the SWYL members were tremendously moved. But that was not all. From the look of each, it was clear that they accepted in their hearts something precious that could not be traded for anything in the world. At that moment, SWYL members clearly visualized the noble image of Mother Kim Chong-suk, who sewed the military uniforms of the Korean People's Revolutionary Forces members^ by overcoming all kinds of difficulties during the bloody anti-japanese days. Warmly engraved in the center of their hearts was the strong will and the conviction of unconditionality of our Mother, who regarded the revolutionary tasks assigned by our Comrade Commander at once as laws and supreme orders, and carried them out to the end by fully demonstrating their unlimited devotion and sacrifice. The county SWYL committee also caused SWYL organizations and Young Pioneers organizations in the county to grasp more thoroughly the immortal revolutionary life and activities of struggle of our Mother by means of pictures, songs, films, and novels about Mother Kim Chong-suk, the paragon of the chuche-type communist revolutionary, and caused the youth and children to cherish her hotter-than-the-sun loyalty to our great leader by which forcefully present itself in such pictures, songs, films, and novels. Various forms of works designed to emulate Mother Kim Chong-suk's loyalty to our great leader, including "Comrade Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable communist revolutionary fighter who defended the revolutionary command post with her life," a pictorial explanation series shown not long ago at a method research meeting for functionaries of the national SWYL, were all actively developed with purpose and direction by SWYL and Young Pioneers organizations in the county. With Purpose and Direction, Related to Practical Activities. Comrade Kim Il-song, the respected and beloved leader, taught us, "In ideological work their main duties and directions should be determined in accordance with the revolutionary tasks proposed during each period and each stage of our revolutionary development, and they must be carried out to fit the level of consciousness among the broad strata of the masses, as well as their practical life." 17

22 The Hoeryong county SWYL committee carried out the work of emulating the boundless loyalty to our great leader of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the paragon of the chuche-type communist revolutionary by closely combining it with the practical activities of our youth and children. This was immensely rewarding in causing our youth and children to cherish deeply in their hearts the boundless loyalty of our Mother to the great leader and to embody it in their practical work and life. A meeting for the study of the recollections by a low level organization at Hoeryong Food Administration Office eloquently tells this. In organizing and carrying out the meeting for the study and discussion of the recollections, "She Defended the Comrade Commander with Her Life," this low level organization did not stop at a discussion of the contents of the recollections. After causing SWYL members to grasp completely the central thought and general substance of the recollections, the low level organization had them discuss the question of how they would emulate and embody the loyalty with which Mother Kim Chong-suk staunchly defended our great leader politically and ideologically throughout her whole life. Thus, SWYL members who participated in the discussion, including Comrades Yu He-ok and Son Kyong-sun, all ardently debated how they would emulate the noble example of Mother Kim Chong-suk, who entertained a hard and firm conviction that to defend the Korean revolution was at once to defend the revolutionary command post, where the great leader Marshal Kim Il-song was; who turned herself into a human bomb during the harsh, anti-japanese days in order to defend the person of our great leader with her life, devoting everything to his safety, everywhere and at all times; and who fiercely struggled to defend in every way the absolute authority of our great leader, his prestige, his revolutionary lines and policies. They also discussed what they should do themselves to live forever as our great leader's loyal guardians. In the past, the low level SWYL and Young Pioneers organizations in this county planned with purpose and aim the work of emulating the immaculate and warm loyalty of Mother Kim Chong-suk to our great leader and carried it out agressively and ambitiously, combining it with the practical struggle of our youths and children, with the result that clean chuche-type blood overflowed in them, enabling them to stand at the forefront of the implementation of our great leader's instructions. It was when our great leader, in his fatherly concern about the dietary life of the people of North Hamgyong Province, issued programmatic instructions 18

23 to step up the production of starch syrup at Hoeryong Food Products Factory, to generously supply the people with it. In order to brilliantly carry out this honorable and militant task assigned by our great leader, the problem of further reinforcing and completing the production processes was raised with urgency. To successfully resolve this problem, it was necessary to make several hundred kinds of parts within a short period of time. They comprised such a tremendous workload that normally 1 month would be required for processing. Precisely at this time, the low level SWYL factory committee organized a meeting for the study and discussion of the recollections, "She Tenaciously Carried Out the Revolutionary Thought and Revolutionary Lines of Our Comrade Commander." The meeting for the study and discussion of the recollections was held in order to carry out the instructions of our great leader, in combination with the question of processing parts, which had to be resolved urgently throughout the entire factory. This practical struggle dealt a gigantic ideological impact on SWYL members indeed. All the young machinists rose up solidly like a mountain, pledging that they would take care of the parts and guarantee their production with their machines in a matter of days. Instead of questioning the authorized capacity of their machines, they trusted the loyalty which boiled over in their hearts. How did Mother Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable revolutionary fighter, carry out the orders and instructions of our great leader? Our Mother unconditionally accepted the revolutionary tasks which our Comrade Commander assigned and thoroughly carried them out timely, demonstrating unlimited devotion and sacrifice, no matter how unfavorable the conditions might have been, and without even the slightest question or excuse whatsoever. If we are to follow and learn from Mother Kim Chong-suk's noble, revolutionary spirit of unconditionality and from her indomitable will and carry out our work, what work could we not accomplish? Thus, hotly debating their warm feelings, young machinists, led by Comrades Hyon Mi-hwa, 0 Yong-suk, and Yun Chong-suk, hurried to create the miracle of raising every day the degree of efficiency in the processing of parts 19

24 by more than 600 percent. Then, SWYL members at the casting shop pledged that they would guarantee the production of materials necessary for the processing of parts in order to accelerate the production of starch syrup with which our-great leader was concerned, by fighting like Mother Kim Chong-suk, who gave only joy to our fatherly leader by resolving every ;. problem with which he was concerned and by devoting her utmost and without delaying even a moment; they produced melted iron once or twice more per day. As a result of their devoted struggle, they completed the processing of parts, which would normally take 1 month, in only 5 days, and they were thus able to thoroughly carry out the programmatic instructions of our great leader. Members of No 2 primary level SWYL organization at the Yuson Forestry Office's Youngchon Youth Work Station were able to complete in only a month and a half the construction of roads, which would normally take 4 months, and the development of new forests. Last August, SWYL members at the 3rd coal mining company, Hwapung Pit at the Kungsim coal mine, showed great exploits by excavating a ventilation pit in only 6 days, which otherwise would have taken 1 month, and by bravely fighting without retreating even one step back, even under conditions of having to pour water. All this resulted from the practical struggle aggressively and substantively launched by the SWYL organizations the struggle to follow and learn from the living model of unconditionality which Mother Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable revolutionary fighter, demonstrated in her implementation of the orders and instructions of our great leader. Besides this, the county SWYL committee planned and organized with purpose and direction the work of causing our youth and children to emulate noblest revolutionary character of Mother Kim Chong-suk, who also devoted her boundless loyalty to our great leader, in close combination with their organizational political life. Thus, the Hoeryong SWYL committee proposed the task of emulating the boundless loyalty of Mother Kim Chong-suk, the indomitable communist revolutionary fighter, to our great leader as one of the most important questions in their indoctrination of loyalty and aggressively and concretely pushed it. Thus, the SWYL fosters all youth and children in the county as ardent chuche-type revolutionaries possessing ardent loyalty to our great leader and to the glorious Party Center CSO:

25 NEW AGRICULTURAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM ANNIVERSARY MARKED Pyongyang NODONG SINMUN in Korean 18 Dec 76 p 2 /Editorial: "Let Us Farther Bring Into Play the Might of the Chuche-Type New Agricultural Guidance Systemy" /Text/ Today is the l th anniversary of the day the great leader, Comrade Kim II-song, gave on-the-spot guidance to Sukchon County, South Pyongan Province and established the new agricultural guidance system, the most excellent form of socialist agricultural management. At a time when the whole country is brimming with the joy and pride of having reaped the greatest bumper harvest in the history of Korea despite the influence of a severe cold front which swept through the world and when the party's five guidelines for remaking nature are being upheld and the grandiose work of remaking nature to achieve a new upswing in agricultural production and socialist rural construction is being carried on, our people and all the farm workers who celebrate this day are filled with tremendous pride and assurance and are renewing their loyal resolve to achieve a greater upswing in farm production by bringing further into play the superiority of the new agricultural guidance system set up by the great leader. The great leader, Comrade Kim Il-song, taught as follows: "Under the condition that the scale of cooperative farmland had been expanded, its technical equipment rapidly strengthened, and the rural technical revolution presented as an urgent task, it became absolutely necessary to discard the former administrative style management system of the rural economy and set up a new management system according to the industrial business system." ("Kim Il-song Selected Works," Vol 3, p hho) The new environment in which the farm cooperativization has been brilliantly completed in our country, a unitary control by the socialist production relations established, the scale of the cooperative farms increased and the rural economic revolution accelerated overall urgently requires that the guidance management question in the rural economy be more satisfactorily settled. 21

26 The great leader, Comrade Kim Il-song, immediately grasped the ripe requirement of the developing reality with his extraordinary wisdom and perspicacity, personally visited Sukchon County, South Pyongan Province, creatively clarified the basic direction and methods for improving the guidance and management of the socialist rural economy and founded a new farm guidance system capable of realizing it. The establishment of a new agricultural guidance system, which brilliantly embodies the immortal chuche ideology and the mass line of revolution, marked a revolutionary turning point in solving the questions of guidance and management of socialist agriculture and was a great event which opened up the broad road to socialist rural construction and the development of farm production. The new agricultural guidance system which the great leader established is the most advanced chuche-type socialist rural guidance system which is able to guide the rural economy scientifically by the industrial business method. The situation in which the scope of the management of the rural economy is increasing tremendously compared to the past and farm production gradually becoming industrialized requires that the method of guiding and managing the rural economy also must be brought accordingly to approximate the advanced level of industry. In order to bring the management and operational methods of the socialist rural economy to the advanced level of industry, it is necessary that agriculture, as well, be managed by the industrial business method. This is the most correct way to rapidly eliminate the backwardness in the level of economic management of the countryside in comparison with the city, one of the basic discrepancies between urban and rural communities under socialism. When the new agricultural guidance system was established, the county cooperative farm management committee, which is the specialized agricultural guidance organ of the state, directed and managed the socialist rural economy by the industrial management method, unlike the previous work system under which the county people's committee directed the rural economy by the administrative method, making it possible to undertake all management activities in a planned and organized fashion as in industry and to realize technical guidance of farm production. As a consequence, the road opened wide for accurately furnishing state guidance of the rural economy and bringing up the level of farm management and operations to the advanced industrial management level. The new system of farm guidance created by the great leader an original system which enables the rural economy to be guided by the industrial management method and the technical guidance of farm production to be intensified. At the same time, it is a magnificent system for brilliantly settling the question of eliminating the disparity of agriculture and industry in ownership relations. 22

27 Through the establishment of the new farm guidance system, which is centered in the county cooperative farm management committee, the agricultural guidance organs have come to unitarily control the modern material-technical means and technical capabilities servicing agricultural production and to guide production through the industrial management method. At the same time, they intensified state material and technical assistance to the rural economy so as to make the production relations between industry and agriculture closer and enabled the organic union of all-people ownership with cooperative ownership to be successfully realized. Accordingly, the guidance role of all-people ownership was heightened and the process of bringing cooperative ownership closer toward all-people ownership was vigorously achieved. The establishment of the new agricultural guidance system which the respected and beloved leader set up in embodying the basic principle of economic management based on the chuche ideology is indeed a historical event which evoked a basic change and it is precisely because this chuche-type rural guidance system was established that such endless upswings and breakthroughs have occurred in socialist rural construction and agricultural production. The bumper crops which produce mountains of rice springing up everywhere in our country's socialist rural areas every year, the praiseworthy success in conquering the 8 million ton-plus grain height and reaping the greatest harvest in the history of our country this year and the great victory achieved in socialist rural construction all this gives indisputable living evidence of the incomparable superiority and immortal vitality of the new agricultural guidance system which the respected and beloved leader created. Because we have the new agricultural guidance system centered in the county cooperative farm management committee furnishing technical guidance of agricultural production with sturdy technical forces and material-technical resources which are rapidly increasing each year we have been able to successfully implement the scientific farming method which the great leader clarified, thereby making grain production grow in leaps and bounds even under unfavorable weather and climatic conditions, pushing the industrialization and modernization of agriculture at a rapid pace and bringing the might of the most advanced chuche-type irrigation system into full display. In particular, the functionaries of the agricultural guidance organs^such as the county cooperative farm management committee, which is a specialized agricultural guidance organ, penetrated deep within the agricultural workers under the guidance of party organizations and explained in depth the great leader's instructions and party policy, thereby accelerating their revolutionization and working classization and helping and guiding them all to perform farming scientifically and technologically with a fiery loyalty and selfawakening befitting the masters of the revolution. Due to the new agricultural guidance system which the great leader innövatively established, the state guidance function relative to the rural economy also has heightened? the working class type guidance of the peasants 23
