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

   Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are recollecting with deep emotion the immortal feats of President Kim Il Sung in unfolding the new history of the building of the Juche-based people's power, entering upon the march of the new year in which falls the 60th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK.
    At the historical Kalun Meeting in June Juche 19 (1930), he formulated the character of the Korean revolution as an anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution and clearly expounded that the power to be founded in the liberated homeland should be a democratic power which would defend the interests of the broad masses.
    The anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle developed to the stage of an armed struggle in the first half of the 1930s, bringing into shape guerrilla bases of the type of liberated area.
    The line of the people's revolutionary government, a brilliant embodiment of the President's idea of building a Juche-based power, was a discovery of the century which was the first in history to indicate the most correct road of resolving the question of power in the stage of the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution.
    After the country was liberated, the question of power stood out as a matter of great urgency which brooked no further delay.
    Putting forward the solution of the question of power as the preferential task, he made public the imperishable famous work "On Building the Party, State and Armed Forces in the Liberated Homeland" on August 20, 1945, which was followed by the publication of "On Progressive Democracy" and "On the Building of New Korea and the United National Front", thus indicating the road to be followed by new Korea and the most correct line of building the country.
    He put forward the building of a democratic people's republic as the basic orientation and target in resolving the question of power in Korea.
    To this end, he thoroughly destroyed, to begin with, the colonial ruling machine of the Japanese imperialists and, on this basis, built local power organs in reliance upon the strength of the popular masses and laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the central organ of power.
    Basing himself on the achievements in the preparations for resolving the question of power, he made no delay in energetically guiding the struggle to establish the Provisional People's Committee of North Korea, the central organ of power.
    It was an independent and democratic genuine people's power, the first of its kind in Korea.
    Following the successful fulfillment of such tasks of the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution as the agrarian reform and the nationalization of major industries, the President developed the Provisional People's Committee of North Korea without delay to the People's Committee of North Korea more consolidated by law through a democratic election in which the entire people participated.
    Later, he founded the glorious Democratic People's Republic of Korea on September 9, 1948 to successfully resolve the question of power in Korea.
    From that historical day, the Korean people have covered a path of victory and glory, holding President Kim Il Sung in high esteem as the father of national building.
