S. Korean Authorities' Submission to U.S. under Fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 7 (KCNA) -- The transfer of the U.S. military base in Ryongsan, Seoul, is prompted by the U.S. interests and it has nothing to do with south Korea as it is aimed to serve the purpose of the U.S. strategy to dominate the DPRK and meet its "security interests," says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. It goes on:
    South Korea is obliged to bear all the expenses to be incurred by the transfer of the U.S. military base in Ryongsan under the "memorandum" on the transfer concluded between south Korea and the U.S. in 1990.
    The south Korean authorities were so servile as to implore the U.S. to cut down the expenses even a little, far from demanding the repeal of such humiliating document. But with their solicitation rejected, they are inclined to cover all the expenses.
    They have offered many young south Koreans as bullet shields for the U.S. forces, behaving like a rat before a cat. As if it were not enough, they are going to spend the money collected from the people as taxes for the transfer of the U.S. military base from which to start a war on this land. This behavior is touching off towering indignation among the Koreans.
    What is clear from the controversy over the transfer of the U.S. base is the fact that south Korea is no more than a servant of the U.S. All those countries in the world which have U.S. bases receive rent from the U.S. but it is only south Korea that bears even the expenses for the transfer of its base. How wretched they are.
    Those who are keen on tickling the fancy of outsiders, utterly indifferent to the interests of their people, can never get rid of subjugation but are destined to go to ruin. The south Korean authorities should take a pro-nation stand based on independence and reason and properly handle the issue of the transfer of the U.S. military base.
