    Pyongyang, August 10 (KCNA) -- It stands out with greater urgency in the drive for the building of a great prosperous powerful nation today to improve labor administration, says Rodong Sinmun in a signed article Thursday. The article goes on:
    The drive to build a great prosperous powerful nation is a noble one to achieve an overall development in all fields of social life including the country's economy and culture, not to speak of the idea and spirit of the people and their fighting morale and manner of work, and bring a decisive victory of Korean-style socialism. Improving labor administration is an indispensable requisite to guiding all the working people to display devotion and sincerity in the present-day struggle for the prosperity of the country by giving full play to their patriotism.
    The reality clearly proves that when labor administration is steadily intensified to suit the nature of the socialist society and the requirement of social development, there emerge heroes of the times, true labor innovators and performers of feats working hard with all sincerity for the country and the people, the society and the collective in all fields and units.
    Improving labor administration is an important demand for further consolidating and developing the socialist system in the DPRK by establishing revolutionary disciplines and well-organized work system in all society.
    Our state political system could be consolidated and the advantages of Korean-style socialism were given full scope in all fields of social life in the teeth of the U.S. imperialists' vicious anti-DPRK moves in the period of the "Arduous March" and the forced march as the Korean people staunchly fought with indomitable devotion and revolutionary fighting spirit.
    Improving labor administration is a prerequisite to bringing a new upswing in economic construction with the nation's own efforts by calling labor resources into most effective service.
    Only when labor administration controlling manpower, the most active and decisive factor in production and construction, is improved as required by the Songun era is it possible to make an efficient use of all the human and material resources of the country and build a great prosperous powerful nation of Juche on this land by our own efforts and in our own way.
