Full Play to Revolutionary Spirit of Mt. Paektu Called for

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

   Pyongyang, August 13 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today editorially calls upon all the people to give fuller play to the mettle of Songun Korea in the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu, single-mindedly united around General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
    The strong mental power of the Korean people who have decorated annals of the revolution with the undying heroic epic under the leadership of the party and the leader is based on the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu, the editorial says, and goes on:
    All the epoch-making victories and successes achieved in the Korean revolution and construction would have been unthinkable without the charging spirit, the indomitable fighting spirit and the spirit of independence, the spirit the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners fully displayed to break through any ordeals, fight it out and liberate the country and build a socialist paradise by their own efforts.
    The victories won by the Korean people in the two grim revolutionary wars were military miracles brought by the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu, and this spirit was source of the stamina of Chollima whereby the powerful socialist country, independent in politics, self-sufficient in the economy and self-reliant in national defence, was built on the ruins. The revolutionary soldier spirit and the Kanggye spirit, created in the period of "Arduous March" and forced march, were also a brilliant embodiment of the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu.
    When we fight in the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu we can defeat any formidable enemy and there will be neither hardships nor fortress impossible for us to overcome or conquer. This is the historical review of the Korean revolution and construction.
    The revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu is the everlasting spirit of Korea and the Korean people are men of mental power who have armed themselves with this spirit under the leadership of the great party. The Korean revolution's mainstay of ideology and spirit remains unchanged though there was the change of generations and centuries. The revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu serves as an invariable ideological and moral pillar of the Korean people forever.
    All the party members and other working people should hold fast to this spirit as an ever-victorious treasured sword and conduct a vigorous offensive to reach the high peak of the building of a great prosperous powerful nation and thus demonstrate all over the world the mettle of the heroic people who have grown to be men of ideology and faith under the care of President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il, the editorial concludes.
