American Mandarins' Call for Strengthened "Alliance" under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, June 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. has become evermore undisguised in its despicable bid to bind south Korea tight to the shackling "alliance." Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed commentary. It goes on: Some days ago, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs of the International Relations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives asserted the validity of the south Korea-U.S. "alliance," faulting south Korea's talk about independence. Earlier, the U.S. assistant secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs blustered that south Korea should attach importance to the "alliance" with the U.S.
    National independence, reconciliation between the north and the south and independent reunification are the demand of the times and the unanimous desire of the Korean nation. The hot wind of anti-U.S. actions raged in the wake of the June 15 event in south Korea, which had been called a tranquil zone outside the anti-U.S. turmoil in the 20th century and even the south Korean authorities talk about independence. This is something fortunate, though it came belatedly, and one should, therefore, hail this only if one has no wicked intention.
    It is only the U.S. that is displeased with this and it is working hard to hold this development in check by means of threat and blackmail.
    The U.S. is pressurizing the south Korean authorities to tighten the "alliance" with it because it is afraid that its failure to chill south Korea's desire to go independent would make it impossible to maintain its forces' presence in south Korea and its unchallenged domination over it and bring its Asia policy to fiasco. The U.S.-south Korean "alliance" which the former is working so hard to maintain is nothing but a yoke of slavery and submission unprecedented in the world. The south Korean people should turn out in the struggle to scrap the "alliance," the root cause of all evils.
