   Pyongyang, August 15 (KCNA) -- Papers today dedicate editorials to the 62nd anniversary of the liberation of Korea.
    The liberation of the country by President Kim Il Sung after defeating the formidable Japanese imperialists 62 years ago was a historic event which put an end to the Korean nation's disgraceful history of a ruined nation and brought about the birth of a genuine people's country, Korea of Juche, the editorial of Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:
    With the liberation of the country by the President the long history of the nation's distress came to an end and the Korean people became to have their genuine country and greeted a new era where they could enjoy a worthwhile life and happiness as man for the first time in history. The President put forward the idea of attaching importance to the arms that one can defeat the armed imperialists only with arms long ago and led the anti-Japanese armed struggle to victory, thus saving the destiny of the country and the nation from the crisis of life and death. The Korean people will always remember the President's exploits to be recorded in the national history for all ages.
    After the liberation of the country the DPRK has covered the course of proud victory and prosperity under the wise guidance of the President.
    The country liberated and built by the President is now greeting a new era of prosperity thanks to the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    His Songun politics helps the DPRK demonstrate its might as a dignified country with a strong sense of independence and an invincible socialist fortress century after century.
    He successfully applied the Songun leadership exploits and experience of the President and established the original Songun political mode. This was a historic event which brought about a great turn in the struggle to build a rich and powerful country and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche. It is thanks to his Songun politics that the Korean People's Army has grown to be the matchless revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu, the defence industry of the country developed into a modern and powerful independent defence industry and the trait of attaching importance to the arms, the military affairs has been firmly established in the whole society.
    The President's plan for building a rich and powerful country is being carried out in all fields thanks to the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il. The country in which the great Songun politics is being successfully applied will make ceaseless creations and leaping progresses and the President's behests will come true in the socialist country.
    Minju Joson calls for uniting around Kim Jong Il single-mindedly to dynamically push ahead with the general march of the Songun revolution to let the country liberated and built by the President further prosper.
