Independence, Banner of Victory

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, February 24 (KCNA) -- The Korean revolution has developed all along, going through all trials of history under the banner of Juche, the banner of independence. In an interview with KCNA as regards the 70th anniversary of the historic Dahuangwai Meeting held from February 24 to March 3, 1935 during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, Prof. and Dr. Jong Chi Gon, dean of the History Faculty of Kim Il Sung University, said:
    Independence can neither be presented by others nor come on its own accord as the days go by.
    So long as there remain imperialism and dominationism on the globe, people can achieve independence only through patriotic and indomitable struggle against them.
    While leading the Korean revolution, President Kim Il Sung had independently shaped all the lines and policies in conformity with the desire and demand of people and actual conditions of the country and thoroughly implemented them.
    The Dahuangwai Meeting serves as an example for this. At the meeting he defended the Juche-oriented line of the Korean revolution and its rights.
    At that time the Korean revolution was undergoing a serious crisis owing to the national alienation acts of the Japanese imperialists and activities of the national chauvinists and factionalists infected with flunkeyism.
    Though he was weak due to the rigor he caught during the expedition to North Manchuria, the President participated in the meeting. He revealed the reactionary nature of left-wing chauvinists' sophism that most of the Koreans residing in East Manchuria were "Minsaengdan" members or suspects and that Koreans could not become cadres and should not seek the slogan of national liberation.
    The meeting, which opened a new phase of upsurge in the revolution, gave a profound truth that independence, the life and soul of a country and a nation, can be defended only by a great leader.
    This truth has been testified once again by the DPRK, where the red flag of Juche has continued to fly over the last decade despite the imperialists' intensified moves to isolate and stifle it.
    Leader Kim Jong Il has successfully advanced the cause of socialism, frustrating the enemy's anti-DPRK rackets with his independent Songun politics, the most powerful mode of politics.
    The Korean people will as ever win a great victory in the revolution and construction with the idea of independence, the banner of eternal victory.
