[Text] Under the wise leadership of our party, party

ideological work has brilliantly walked a road of great

transition under the revolutionary banner of converting

the whole society to the chuche ideology.

The working-class party must constantly improve its

ideological work to suit the demands of the advancing

revolution. At a time when socialist construction is

making headway and a historical turnaround is being

brought about in the struggle to fulfill the cause of the

party, how to constantly intensify and develop ideological work to suit the demands of the developing times

and the revolution is one of the basic problems confronting the activities of the working-class party .

In early 1970. the year of great transition in the development of the party and the revolution, the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il released a historic document in which

he set forth the program for converting the whole society

to the chuche ideology and outlined important tasks in

party ideological work to implement this program.

Embodied in this document is the noble intention of the

party to convert party ideological work definitely to a

powerful means both in name and reality for modeling

the whole society after the chuche idea, as well as the

revolutionary will of the party to uproot old formalistic

conventions handed down from the past and effect new

innovations in every aspect of ideological work. The past

15 years walked by party ideological work under the wise

leadership of our party has been a resplendent course in

which party propaganda work has been firmly converted

to ideological work which, staying tuned to the time,

leads the masses in accordance with the demands of the

revolution, consistently adhering to the revolutionary

banner of converting the whole society to the chuche

ideology—a militant ideological work which truly contributes to the formidable revolutionary practice of

remolding society and man and conquering nature.

Deeply etched on this historic laborious work which has

brought about fundamental changes in party ideological

work are the great leadership of our party and its

immortal achievements.

That party ideological work has steadfastly aimed at the

conversion of the whole society to the chuche ideology

represents the most valuable achievement made by our

party in leading ideological work.

Modeling the whole society after the chuche ideology is

the greatest and most honorable task of our party and the

most revolutionary and noblest task. All party work, all

party activities should be subordinated to this great

political work, this great cause, and carried out so as to

thoroughly insure the success of this cause.

Holding a firm grip on the task of converting the whole

society to the chuche ideology and concentrating fire on

it is our party's consistent stand on party ideological

work. Our party has clearly defined the basic duty and

mission of ideological work to suit the historical task of

converting the whole society to the chuche ideology and

ingeniously formulated the content of party ideological

work permeated with indoctrination of the chuche ideology, and on this basis, directed efforts for solving all

problems arising in ideological work toward fulfilling the

overall mission of our revolution. With this clarification

and formulation, a firm guarantee has been provided for

unitarily organizing and executing the ideological work

of our party with strong goal-consciousness, and the way

has been paved for brilliantly realizing the historic

aspiration of the working class to dye the whole societyone color with the revolutionary idea of the leader. This

is an immortal achievement made by the heir to the

political leader of the revolution in the course of brilliantly inheriting the party's cause to carry it on from

generation to generation, and it is a precious asset which

should be maintained and indeflectibly and constantly

enriched.

Party ideological work, which has advanced under the

revolutionary banner of converting the whole society to

the chuche ideology, has been securely converted to

ideological work designed to strengthen the main force of

the revolution thanks to the wise leadership of our party,

which saw to it that a firm grip was held on indoctrination in unitary party ideology, namely, indoctrination in

the chuche ideology, as basics.

Dyeing the whole society one color with the leading

ideology of the party is precisely the basic mission of

party ideological work. Only when party ideological

work fulfills its basic mission satisfactorily, is it possible

to meet successfully the basic demand of party work that

the main force ofthe revolution be strengthened and that

its role be constantly enhanced.

To convert party ideological work into the work of

dyeing the whole society one color ideologically is the

most difficult and complex task in party work and a very

serious problem that has remained unsolved for a long

time in the party work of the working class. The historical lesson offered by the vicissitudes of the communist

movement showed that the party work, party ideological

work, of the working class should be directed thoroughly

toward dyeing the whole society one color with the

leading ideology of the party.
JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il. who embodies royalty

to the leader and his cause at the noblest plane, has

wisely led all aspects of ideological work to be subordinated to attaining the single goal of making the whole

society into a pure living organism pulsating with the

flow of nothing but the chuche-type blood.

Comrade Kim Chong-il. member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central

Committee and secretary of the Party Central Committee, pointed out as follows:

'•Our party needs no other ideological system than the

ideological' system of chuche, and in our party, there can

be no other indoctrination than that which is related to

indoctrination in the chuche ideology." ("On Several

Questions Arising in Indoctrination in the Chuche Ideology", monograph, pp 11-12)

Our party's unitary ideology is the chuche ideology.

Permeating all ideological work with indoctrination in

the chuche ideology and make it actively contribute to

strengthening the main force of the revolution is a

glorious tradition of our party's ideological work

founded by the great leader Comrade Kim Il-song and

offers a sure guarantee for conducting ideological work

in accordance with the thought and intention of the

respected and beloved leader.

Our party clarified that the most important problem in

teaching the chuche ideology is firmly establishing the

revolutionary view of the leader with a correct understanding of the subject of the revolution, and on the basis

of this clarification, has endeavored to constantly intensifying ideological work with indoctrination in loyalty as

basics. Under party leadership, the fire power of party

work has been concentrated on making party members

and workers cherish loyalty to the party and the leader as

the first and foremost life and cultivate the constancy of

loyaltv that will be carried on from generation to generation:'and vigorously carried out was the work of making

people cultivate as their outlook on life the chuche view

of revolution, with the revolutionary view of the leader

as its core.

With indoctrination in the greatness of the party and the

leader as basics to indoctrination in loyalty, our party

has endeavored to have party members and workers

thoroughly' understand the greatness of the ideas and

theories of the party and the leader, the greatness oftheir

leadership, and the greatness of their ideomental traits.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song is the great

ideological theorist who founded the immortal chuche

ideology, the great politician who sagaciously leads our

people on an untrodden path to socialism and communism under the difficult and complex circumstances in

which we confront the U.S. imperialists face to face.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il is an outstanding

ideological theorist who is bringing into bloom the

chuche ideology founded by the leader, a great leader of

the revolution who is charting a road of history never

before walked by anyone while preserving, inheriting,

and developing the revolutionary cause and tradition

founded by the leader.

With the great leader Comrade Kim Il-song and the dear

Comrade Kim Chong-il sagaciously leading our revolution, our country has been able to usher in a new area of

national prosperity and development as we see it today,

and our people are stoutly advancing, looking forward to

a more resplendent future with confidence.

Today, our party members and workers who have

learned the greatness ofthe party and leader in full depth

are wholeheartedly revering and loyally following the

party and the leader, with their fate wholly entrusted in

the party and the leader; and it is precisely because of

this that the loyalty of our people to the party and the

leader has become something indeflectible, pristine pure,

and absolute.

Ideological and human remolding work to bring up all

members of society as chuche-oriented communist revolutionaries is a very complex and difficult task and

demands that all forms of ideological indoctrination be

vigorously carried out.

With a view to characterizing all ideological indoctrination work all the way with indoctrination in the party's

unitary ideology system, namely, indoctrination in the

chuche ideology, our party has defined class indoctrination as an important form of indoctrination in the

chuche ideology, seeing to it that indoctrination in

socialist patriotism, indoctrination in the revolutionary

tradition, and indoctrination in party policy were vigorously pushed forward on the basis ofthe principles ofthe

chuche ideology. In its ideological indoctrination work,

our party has made party members and workers faithfully carry forward the revolutionary achievements of

the party and the leader from generation to generation

through an extensive conduct of indoctrination in the

revolutionary tradition, while paying profound attention

to arming the masses soundly with the class consciousness of the working class and implanting in them the

our-nation-comes-first spirit by stepping up antiimperialist indoctrination, anti-American and antiJapanese indoctrination, and indoctrination in socialist

patriotism.

With all forms of ideological indoctrination organized

and conducted on the basis ofthe basic principles of our

party's unitary ideology, the chuche ideology, under the

wise leadership of our party, party ideological work has

come to be firmly converted to one committed to making

all members of society into chuche-oriented communist

revolutionaries and strengthening the main force of the

revolution.

Today the ranks of our revolution have been solidly

consolidated into the ranks of chuche, united around the

party and leader with one mind on the basis of only one

ideology, into an invincible force which will not become
JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989

discolored even by the infiltration of any alien ideological elements and continue to hold fast to the chuchc

revolutionary banner to the end. unshaken by any

sudden change in the situation. Bringing a high degree of

revolutionary fervor and creative positiveness into full

play for the consummation of the chuchc cause while

upholding the great chuche ideology as their faith and

sharing their fate with the party centered around the

leader, is a proud idcomental trait of our people and the

true feature of their self-dependent and creative life. In

our country, everyone thinks in accordance with the

demands of the chuche ideology when cogitating on

anything; and when breathing, he breathes in accordance

with the will of the party; and in living every moment or

leading his whole life, he goes on upholding the leadership of the party and the leader without deflection,

cherishing deep in his heart his loyalty to the party and

the leader. The powerful union forged among the leader,

the party, and the mass in our society has become the

immortal main force of the revolution. This represents

an immortal achievement of our party in brilliantly

solving the problem of bringing up a reliable main force

of the revolution cable of inheriting and continuing to

develop until consummation, the chuche revolutionary

cause blazed by the great leader Comrade Kim Il-song.

Party ideological work which has advanced under the

revolutionary banner of converting the whole society to

the chuche ideology has been securely converted to a

powerful weapon for pushing the revolution and construction by the leadership of our party directed at

arousing a high degree of self-consciousness and positiveness among the masses.

An important objective of party ideological work lies in

successfully accomplishing revolutionary tasks set forth

by the party. Success in party ideological work should

invariably manifest itself in the practical results of

activities in the revolution and construction and evaluated by these results. Useless arc ideological work dissociated from the accomplishment of revolutionary tasks,

and propaganda work which is of no help to the revolution and construction.

Comrade Kim Chong-il, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central

Committee and secretary of the Party Central Committee, pointed out as follows:

"It is an important duty of party ideological work to

vigorously thrusting socialist economic construction by

arousing the revolutionary ardor of the masses."

Remolding people's thoughts so that they may successfully accomplish the revolutionary struggle and construction tasks is precisely party propaganda work. Propaganda work should not become an exercise in empty talk

dissociated from the intention of the party, and it should

not melt into technoeconomic administrative work, disregarding work with people's ideas. Particularly a working-class party which has seized power should conduct

ideological work by linking it closely to the revolutionary

practice, so that it may become a powerful means for

thrusting the revolution and construction.

On the basis of the stern reality that our revolutionary

practice means a struggle to implement the great leader

Comrade Kim Il-song's revolutionary thought and party

lines and policies, the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il has

energetically led us to vigorously carry out ideological

work designed to explain and publicize on time and in

depth party policy as it was set forth each time and to

have the masses correctly understand the party's ideas.

Party lines and policies are the most correct strategy and

tactics illuminating the road ahead for our people to suit

the demands of the Korean revolution, and they arc the

guidelines for all our activities. Propaganda on party

lines and policies forcefully leads our people to think and

act as one in accordance with party intentions.

For this reason, our parly has always attached primary

importance to imbuing the masses deeply with party

lined, policies, and intentions and concentrated efforts

on having them vigorously push forward the revolution

and construction by bringing the revolutionary ethos of

absoluteness and unconditionally into full play in

implementing party policy. Today, firmly established

among our functionaries, party members, and workers

who have deeply grasped the essence of our party's lines

and policies is the military trait of implementing party

policy unconditionally and thoroughly, with the revolutionary spirit of making their way through a swampy

road and a blazing river of fire. The problems which our

party wishes or intends to solve are being solved successfully, and party policies arc proving their worth in actual

life. This indicates that by thoroughly adhering to its

intrinsic stance as a political work, party propaganda

work is actively contributing to the fulfillment of the

overall mission of our revolution.

One of the basic problems arising in implementing party

lines and policies is that ofspurring the masses on to the

implementation of the party's economic policy.

Socialist economic construction is one of the basic

revolutionary tasks confronting the working-class party

that has seized power. Keeping party members and

workers intelligently informed of the essence of the

party's economic policy, its substance, and ways to

implement it and ideologically spurring them on to

display their voluntary enthusiasm and spirit of devotion is a sound guarantee for the acceleration of socialist

economic construction.

Proceeding from the principled position of keeping a

grip on both propaganda and agitation at the same time,

our party has constantly stepped up propaganda on its

economic policy while energetically leading the struggle

to vigorously conduct economic agitation, with the main

emphasis placed on bringing loyalty to the party and the

leader into full play in accomplishing economic tasks.

The ingenious economic propaganda work created by

our party is demonstrating to the fullest its power as
JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989

political work aimed at arousing the revolutionary ardor

of the masses and spurring them on to the implementation of the party's economic policy. Under out party's

energetic guidance, a concentrated propaganda offensive

has been waged among our workers throughout the

country, including the workers of Kiyang and Tokchon,

the steel warriors of the Kimchaek Iron and Steel Complex, the heroic miners of Komdok. the builders of the

Northern Railway, and the builders of the large chemical

base in Sunchon. with the result that living examples of

spurring the masses on to the implementation of the

party's economic policy have been created and valuable

experiences accumulated. The whole country has been

reverberating with the loud drum beat of the speed

battle, with miracles and innovations continually

wrought every day. This vibrant spirit demonstrates the

great power of ideological work conducted through economic agitation.

Thanks to the wise leadership of our party, party ideological work has been linked to revolutionary practice at

a higher plane and has become a driving force vigorously

thrusting socialist economic construction. In the course

of moving forward vigorously with the spirit of the speed

battle joined to the chollima. all our party members and

workers have created the "speed of the 70-day battle"

and the "speed of the eighties," have won brilliant

victories in the 200-day battle called for by the party,

thereby setting great examples in pushing socialist economic construction at an unusually fast pace. In our

country today, thanks to the heroic struggle of party

members and'workers to live every moment in a worthy

and rewarding manner, upholding the party's revolutionary slogan "Let one and all live and struggle like a

hero."' our party's line of three revolutions is being

brilliantly implemented, and heroic exploits are being

produced in every battlefield of socialist construction,

stirring up the people. This is the proud fruit produced

bv our party, which by linking ideological work closely to

revolutionary practice, has converted ideological work

definitely to party work designed to vigorously thrust the

revolution and construction.

Party ideological work, which has developed under the

revolutionary banner of converting the whole society to

the chuchc ideology, has definitely been converted to a

fresh and militant ideological work which is continually

advancing to suit the demands of the developing reality

under the wise leadership of our party directed toward

smashing the old convention of formalism.

Party ideological work should ceaselessly advance,

assuming a new complexion to suit the demands of the

times and the aspirations of the masses. Should party

propaganda fall behind the intention of the party and the

demands of the times, unable to be keenly responsive to

them, entire party work would stagnate.

Parly ideological work to convert the whole society to

the chuchc ideology requires a corresponding ideological

system and method necessary to fulfill its basic duties.

This requirement can be brilliantly fulfilled only by

creating a system and method which will enable us to do

away boldly with the old convention offormalism extant

in the ideological field and organize and conduct party

ideological work in a revolutionary manner.

Comrade Kim Chong-il, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central

Committee and secretary of the Party Central Committee, pointed out as follows:

"Today, with an orderly system of ideological work

established, and with powerful ways and means of propaganda and agitation provided, ideological work is

being organized and conducted vigorously."

Every task is organized and carried out by a certain

system and method. The creative nature of party ideological work can be soundly guaranteed only by continually improving its system and methods to suit the

demands of the advancing revolution.

The task to radically improve the system, form, and

methods of party ideological work is a very difficult and

complex one to make a clean sweep of all that is old and

create the new in the field of ideological work, and a

responsible task that working-class parties should necessarily accomplish.

In radically improving party ideological work, it is

important to establish an orderly system of ideological

work capable of permeating every corner of the base

level with the great chuche ideology and party lines and

policies and implementing them accurately.

Our party has established a work system by which all

ideological functionaries can go down to the base level

and work, as well as an orderly system of lecturing,

indoctrination, and agitation, and has made it part ofthe

peculiar habitude of our party propaganda functionaries

to act in accordance with the demands of this system.

With a correct system of party ideological work established under the leadership of our party, and with all

propaganda functionaries attaining the habit of operating under this system, the teachings of the great leader

Comrade Kim Il-song and the intention of the Party

Center have come to be conveyed and permeated to the

masses accurately and on time and the state of ideological work at the base level has been reflected in the Party

Center in concrete terms, and ideological work has come

to be conducted in a fresh and militant manner to suit

the demands of the times and the masses and the

intention of the party.

Our party has not only established the system of ideological work but also wisely led us to effect a revolutionary turnaround in the method and form of party

ideological work.

Even when a system of ideological work has been establish enabling party ideological functionaries to go down

to the base level to operate in a revolutionary manner.
JPRS-AKU-89 013

29 September 1989

ideological work will not be able to free itself from the

old conventions if the right form and method do not

follow up.

Making it clear that the propaganda and agitation work

of our party which inherited the revolutionary tradition

of the anti-Japanese guerrillas should naturally adopt an

anti-Japanese guerrilla style, our party has energetically

led all propaganda functionaries to go among the masses,

each carrying a knapsack on their back, to conduct

propaganda and agitation, staying tuned to the mind of

the masses.

In addition, our party has ingeniously worked out all

forms and methods necessary to conduct party ideological work in a revolutionary way. These forms and

methods include the policy of conducting propaganda

and agitation in bold and daring fashion to suit the

formidable reality in which the conversion of the whole

society to the chuche ideology is progressing on a

gigantic scale; the policy of vigorously waging ideological

warfare by means of blitz, concentrated attack, and

exterminatory warfare; the policy of indoctrination to

influence people by positive example; the policy of

ideological indoctrination through movies and operas;

the policy of converting party publications and information media to a powerful ideological weapon by staging

press, information, and publication revolutions.

Today, with party ideological work progressing in a fresh

and militant manner by various forms and methods

under the seasoned leadership of the party, all our party

members and workers are adding glory to the eighties

and vigorously advancing our era, cherishing infinite

loyalty to the party and the leader like the young communists of the 1920"s, the heroic fighters of the 1950's,

and the unsung heroes of today.

To make party ideological work conducted under the

unitary leadership ofthe Party Center is a sure guarantee

for innovating party propaganda work.

Party ideological work is a task to deal with people's

ideas. As far as party ideological work is concerned, it

should be under unitary control and command of the

Party Center. This is a basic principle to which the

working-class parly should hold fast. Only when party

ideological work is conducted under the unitary guidance of the Party Center, is it possible to block any alien

ideology other than unitary party ideology from infiltrating the party ranks and solidly consolidate the foundation of the party.

Our glorious party has endeavored to establish the

revolutionary discipline under which all party organizations and party propaganda functionaries move as one

under the unitary leadership of the Party Center, funnel

all problems arising in party ideological work into the

party Central Committee and handle them according to

the decisions of the Party Center, and implement all

policies set forth by the Party Center unconditionally

and thoroughly. In addition, it has led all party propaganda functionaries to improve their politicoadministrative qualifications, acquire the revolutionary work

method and people-oriented work style, and thoroughly

overcome take-over of administrative work and bureaucracy.

With the system and methods of party ideological work

radically improved under the wise leadership of the

party, and with the unitary leadership of the Party

Center established securely, party ideological work has

come to be definitely converted to a revolutionary ideological work with the establishment of party unitary

ideology as its central task from beginning to end.

Thanks to this turnaround in party ideological work,

today our people are confidently moving forward on the

road to the victory of socialism and communism,

holding aloft the revolutionary banner of the chuche

ideology, the banner of socialism, even under the stark

situation in which the imperialists and reactionaries are

daily intensifying their frenzied antisocialist machinations. This is a great achievement scored by our party in

its leadership aimed at innovating party ideological work

to suit the demands of the developing reality in which

the whole society is being converted to the chuche

ideology.

Indeed, the history of the leadership of our party in

radically strengthening and developing its ideological

work was an immortal course of directing all ideological

work toward the single goal of carrying on the chuche

cause from generation to generation until consummation

by stoutly bringing up the main force of the revolution

and enhancing its role—in other words, the history of a

great transition. In this historical course, the glorious

tradition of party ideological work to dye the whole

society one color with one ideology has been created

brilliantly.

Reality in our country today demands that party propaganda functionaries conduct party ideological work

more strenuously and vigorously.

Currently, the whole nation is on the march to achieve

the everlasting prosperity of the fatherland and the

brilliant victory of the chuche cause, and now is the time

for party propaganda functionaries to become standardbearers and trumpeters who stir up and lead the masses

by standing in the van.

Continually improving and strengthening party propaganda work so as to stay tuned to our time is a consistent

policy of our party. Party propaganda functionaries

should keenly responsive to party intentions representing the demands of the times and the masses and

lead the masses to realize these intentions on time.

The masters who are tuned to the times are party

propaganda functionaries. Party propaganda woofers

should arm themselves securely with the revolutionary

thought of the great leader Comrade Kim Il-song, the

party's ideological theories and policies as protectors,

propagandists and executors of the ideology of the party
JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989

and the leader and energetically strive to accurately

inform the masses of the intentions of the party and the

leader and stir them up vigorously.

Party propaganda functionaries are the standard-bearers

who'lead the masses on a short cut to advancing our

time Propaganda functionaries who lead the masses

from the mass point of view should be responsive to the

times more keenly than anyone else.

In order for party propaganda functionaries to be

responsive to the times, they should go deep among the

masses and correctly grasp their demands. The demands

of the times are the desires and demands of the masses.

Our partv stresses that parly propaganda functionaries

go deep among workers and farmers in the midst of the

seething reality with a knapsack on their back in the

anti-Japanese guerrilla style to conduct propaganda work

vigorously.

As demanded by the party, propaganda functionaries

should go down to the base level and go deep among the

masses to become a whole with them so that the voice of

the party mav echo through the masses and that the

masses may synchronize their pace of breathing with that

of the party.

Particularly, propaganda functionaries should go among

the masses not merely to know what problems are

confronting them but to wage a vigorous political offensive in order to mold public opinion to suit the intention

of the party and actively lead it in a manner beneficial to

staving attuned to the times. By so doing, party functionaries should see to it that everyone works and lives

always with optimism, cherishing the immense pride of

the nation making revolution under the leadership of the

partv and brimming over with faith in the resplendent

future of our times and the prosperous future of the

fatherland.

How to organize and conduct party propaganda work

now to suit the intention of the party depends on the

stand and principle in accordance of which propaganda

functionaries will conduct their work and on how substantially they will work.

All propaganda functionaries should permeate the entire

content of propaganda work thoroughly with party intentions and always hold fast to the working-class revolutionary principle in their work, maintaining the right

stand and posture of firmly insuring the unitary leadership of the Party Center in ideological work.

It is impossible to conduct party propaganda work by an

outmoded work method. Propaganda functionaries

should always use their brains to conduct propaganda in

a substantive manner in accordance with the intention of

the party and constantly improve the method of ideological work so that even in conducting but one round of

propaganda and agitation, they may strike the heartstrings of the masses, and even in indoctrinating but one

person, he may be brought up as a staunch, iron-clad

revolutionary fighter having a thoroughgoing political

stand.

All partv organizations and propaganda functionaries

should contribute to securely preserving the immortal

revolutionary achievements of the party and brilliantly

fulfilling the chuche cause by upholding the intention of

the party and conducting propaganda work all the more

vigorously so that it may stay tuned to the times.

[Text] Outlining the militant tasks for our party and

people to carry our this year, the respected and beloved

leader Comrade Kim Il-song in his New Year's message

stressed that we should bring about a revolutionary

turnaround in the production of daily necessities by

rapidly developing our light industry.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song taught as follows:

"Light industry is an important sector immediately

requiring great efforts in socialist economic construction. We have to designate this year as the year of light

industry and bring about a new turnaround in the work

of implementing the party policy concerning the lightindustrial revolution." ("New Year's Message," 1989,

monograph, p 5)

Reflected in the decision to increase the production of

consumer goods by putting great efforts into light

industry as an important militant goal are the great

leader's grand idea of providing a more affluent and

cultured life for the people and the firm determination of

our party to bring about a new turnaround in the

prosecution of the light-industrial revolution.

Today our party is continually taking measures to rapidly develop various sectors of the national economy,

including agriculture and the chemical and fishery industries, in order to solve the people's food, clothing, and

shelter problems satisfactorily to suit the demands of

socialism. Our party designated this year as the year of

light industry for the particular purpose of radically

increasing the production of daily necessities by putting

great efforts into the development of light industry, and

has been wisely leading the struggle to thoroughly implement the policy on staging the light-industrial revolution.

Rapid development of light industry and producing a

great variety of daily necessities and other consumer

goods such as foodstuffs needed in the people's daily life

is of great significance in improving the workers' standard of living.

Material life requiring food, clothing, and shelter is part

ofthe basic content ofthe people's economic life, and the

demand for food, clothing, and shelter steadily increases

as socialist construction progresses. Only by satisfactorily solving the people's food, clothing, and shelter

problems in keeping with the ever-increasing demands of

the people will it be possible to insure a self-dependent

and creative life for the workers who have become the

masters of the state and society.

In solving the people's food, clothing, and shelter problems in a satisfactory manner, it is important to produce

and supply a rich variety of quality daily necessities and

foodstuffs in great quantities by exerting great efforts for

the development of light industry.

Needless to say, light industry docs not require such a

huge scope of investment, nor such an extended period

of construction as does heavy industry, the key industrial

sector. But. in increasing the production of daily necessities, it arises as an urgent requirement, in view of the

technical and economic peculiarities of light industry, to

put efforts into this area. In order for us to increase the

production of daily necessities in kind and quantity and

improve their quality to suit the composition of the

workers' demands for varieties of consumer goods, it is

necessary to carry out various technical and economic

tasks, such as those of satisfactorily insuring conditions

for the production of raw materials, modernizing lightindustry plants, and constantly introducing modern science and technologies. To this end, it is important to

funnel material and technical forces into developing

light industry, with attention directed to the development of light industry on a routine basis. Only by doing

so will it be possible to produce a rich variety of daily

necessities in great quantity, such as attractive and

handy daily necessities and nutritious foodstuffs, by

waging the light-industrial revolution, thereby raising

the workers' standard of material and cultural life onto a

still higher level.

Bringing about a revolutionary turnaround in the production of daily necessities by exerting great efforts for

the development of light industry arics as an urgent

requirement in giving full play to the superiority of the

socialist system and implanting in the people pride and

confidence in making revolution.

To give full play to the superiority of the social system

and implant in the people pride and confidence in

making revolution is an important guarantee for hastening the ultimate victory of the revolutionary cause by

constantly consolidating and developing the socialist

system and bringing the revolutionary fervor and creative ability of the workers into full play.

The inherent superiority of the socialist system lies in

that this system enables human beings to enjoy a true life

suited to human instinct to be self-dependent.

Only under the socialist system can people help and lead

one another and enjoy a self-dependent and creative life

to their hearts' content, cherishing an immortal sociopolitical life.
10 Economic Construction

JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989

The superiority of the socialist system manifests itself in

various aspects of social life, but it finds its concentrated

expression in the full responsibility the state assumes for

insuring an adequate material and cultural life for the

people. To give full play to the true superiority of the

socialist system in enabling the masses to enjoy a selfdependent and creative life, it is necessary to upgrade the

material and cultural life of the workers so that everyone

may enjoy an affluent and cultured life to his heart's

content. If we produce and supply an immense variety of

daily necessities of good quality more abundantly by

developing light industry, we will be able to insure a

better position for the people as masters of the state and

society, enabling them to enjoy a self-dependent and

creative life to their hearts' content. Moreover, by doing

so everyone will come to feel a sense of pride in making

revolution and a sense of the worthiness of struggle all

the more through actual life and go forward with fighting

to defend, solidify, and develop the superior socialist

system which provides a happy life for them.

Radially increasing the production of daily necessities by

putting great efforts into the development of light

industry is of great significance also in demonstrating the

great might of the sound self-dependent economy established in our country and in enhancing the prestige of our

country abroad.

With the implementation of the line of building a

self-supporting national economy set forth by our party,

our country today has been converted to a mighty

socialist state with a powerful heavy industry, a modern

light industry, and a developed agriculture. With a sound

self-supporting national economy built, it has become

possible in our country to produce on our own a rich

variety of heavy-industrial. light-industrial, and agricultural products needed in economic construction and in

daily life.

Under the circumstances in which a sound selfsupporting national economy has been built, if we put

efforts into light industry by relying on this economy, we

will be able to radically increase the output of daily

necessities in a short period of time and raise the

people's standard of living another notch. In this event,

evcrvone will come to feel all the more keenly a sense of

pride in having built a solid self-supporting national

economy and become able to actively accelerate socialist

construction by giving fully play to a heightened revolutionary zeal and positivencss.

If we rapidly develop light industry by relying on the

solid self-supporting national economy which we built in

the past by tightening our belt and saving every penny, it

will exert good influence on many peoples of the world.

Today, many countries and peoples in the world are

moving forward on the road of independence and

actively waging a struggle to build a self-dependent

national economy. Ours was the first country in the

world to set forth the line of building a self-dependent

national economy and pursue this line. If we go forward

to radically improve the people's livelihood by exerting

efforts into both our heavy and light industries, it will

greatly inspire the people of the many countries desiring

to build a self-dependent national economy.

If our people can enjoy a more affluent and cultured life

particularly at a time when our country is soon to host

the 13th World Youth and Student Festival, it will

enhance our country's authority and prestige abroad and

augment the attraction and influence of socialism.

Therefore, to drastically increase the production of daily

necessities by putting great efforts into light industry is

not merely a technical and economical task to boost the

output of consumer goods in order to provide better

amenities to the people, but an important political task

to further strengthen the socialist system in our country,

give full play to the superiority of the socialist system,

and enhance the authority and prestige of our country

abroad.

For this reason, our party has set forth the policy on

waging a light-industrial revolution and is now wisely

leading the struggle to continually increase the production of consumer goods.

The light-industrial revolution as outlined by our party is

a worthy struggle to satisfactorily meet the growing

demands of the people for daily necessities by decisively

increasing the output of consumer goods in variety and

quantity and further improving their quality.

By drastically boosting the output of daily necessities in

line with the parly policy on staging a light-industrial

revolution, we should actively contribute to the party's

farsighted idea of providing a self-dependent and creative life for our people.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song taught as follows:

"This year we have to increase investment in the light

industry sector, improve supply work, and actively accelerate the modernization of light-industrial factories.

Those in the light industry sector should operate lightindustrial plants, such as textile mills, daily necessity

factories, and food processing plants at full capacity and

produce and supply a great variety of light-industrial

goods in greater quantities to suit the tastes ofthe people

and the socialist way of life." (Ibid, p 5)

What is most important in bringing about a revolutionary turnaround in the production of daily necessities

by waging the light industrial revolution is to increase

investment in the light industry sector and improve

logistic support for it.

Increasing investment and improving logistic support is

a sure guarantee for bringing about a turnaround in the

production of daily necessities by developing light

industry on to a new, higher stage. When investment is

increased and logistic support is improved, it becomes

possible to carry out all tasks in a satisfactory manner,

such as increasing the quantity and variety of light

industry products, improving their quality, and operating light industry factories at full capacity. Therefore,
JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989 Economic Construction 11

investment in the light industry sector should be

increased as demanded by our party's policy on the

light-industrial revolution.

At the same time, it arises as an urgent necessity to wage

a vigorous struggle to supply raw materials and supplies

to light industry factories in sufficient quantities by

improving logistic support for light industry.

Raw materials are an indispensable factor of production,

and the process of production is in itself the process of

consuming raw materials. Only when raw materials are

supplied sufficiently, will it be possible to stabilize

production and give full play to the might of the existing

economic foundation.

Particularly, the production of daily necessities requires

a great variety of raw materials, such as industrial

materiels, agricultural materials, mineral materials,

organic materials, and synthetic materials; and only by

supplying all raw materials and supplies on time will it

be possible to produce a rich variety of products needed

in the people's daily life.

Even in producing but one consumer good item, the

product can satisfy the technical requirements and fully

meet the growing needs of the people in daily life only

when auxiliary materials as well as basic raw materials

are fully supplied. It follows that the task of adequately

and satisfactorily supplying all raw materials needed in

producing myriads of daily necessities arises as the most

urgent task in staging the light-industrial revolution.

Under the current circumstances in which small- and

medium-scale local industrial factories, along with

modern light industry factories in the central industrial

sector, arc solidly maintained under the wise leadership

of our party, we will be able to produce on a large scale

a great variety of goods and foodstuffs needed in daily

life if only we supply raw materials still more satisfactorily.

For this reason, our party has set the solving of raw

material problems as one of the most important tasks in

developing light industry, and is now wisely leading the

struggle to solve these problems.

Our functionaries and workers should launch as one into

the struggle to accelerate the construction of new largescale factories and enterprises which will supply raw

materials to light industry, while working hard to quickly

complete the plant construction projects now at their

finishing stage and put them in operation as soon as

possible.

It is important to build small- and medium-size local

industry bases everywhere along with large-scale light

industry bases. While building sodium carbonate factories, caustic soda factories, and other small- and

medium-size chemical factories in a big way, we should

build hardware raw materials production bases and

synthetic raw materials production bases so that wc may

fully supply raw materials needed in the production of

light-industrial goods.

In bringing about a revolutionary turnaround in the

production of daily necessities by developing light

industry, it is also important to further modernize light

industry factories.

Modernization of light industry plants arises as an urgent

necessity in meeting more satisfactorily the material and

cultural needs of the people which are growing with the

improvement of their living standard, and as an important task to make the labor-life of the workers in light

industry more creative.

Automation, robotization, and computerization of the

production processes in light industry factories will

make it possible to drastically boost the production of

daily necessitates, improve their sanitary and cultural

standards, and free the workers in this field from

arduous toil.

It is important particularly for small- and medium-scale

local industrial factories, which account for more than

half of the total output of consumer goods, to replace

their antiquated equipment with modern equipment and

upgrade their level of technical provisions. If wc modernize many small- and medium-scale local industrial

factories we built through a nationwide mass movement

in the past period, we will be able to radically expand the

variety and quantity of consumer goods and drastically

improve their quantity in a short period of time. Therefore, we should gradually upgrade the overall level of

technical provisions in light industry by effectively utilizing all existing conditions and potential in our

country, beginning by modernizing those light industrial

factories which are at a low technical level and factories

which can be easily modernized with a small outlay of

fund.

Upholding the decision of the 11th Plenum of the Sixth

WPK Central Committee, wc must vigorously wage the

technical revolution and satisfactorily resolve all scientific and technological problems arising in the modernization oflight industry. We should boost the production

of consumer goods by enhancing in particular the role of

scientists and technicians and accelerating the modernization of light industry factories.

At the same time, wc should accelerate the modernization of light industry factories by strengthening creative

cooperation among scientists, technicians, and workers

and by vigorously waging the mass innovation movement.

In bringing about a revolutionary turnaround in the

production of daily necessities by putting efforts into

light industry, it is also important to operate light

industry factories at full capacity.

Operating existing light industry factories at full capacity

is an important militant goal set by our party with a view
12 Economic Construction

JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989

to radically boosting the output of daily necessities in a

short period of time by staging a light-industrial revolution.

Under the condition in which a firm productive and

technological foundation of the light industry sector has

been built, it is possible to produced more daily necessities simply by operating existing local textile mills,

daily necessity factories, and food processing plants at

full capacity.

What is important in operating existing light industry

factories at full capacity is to supply raw materials,

supplies, and fuel in sufficient quantities, improve

equipment and technological management, and upgrade

the level of workers1technical skills.

In supplying necessary raw materials, supplies, and fuel

to light industry in a satisfactory manner, it arises as an

urgent necessity to improve supply work still more by

thoroughly implementing the great leader's instruction

on assigning a generous amount of raw materials and

supplies for the production of consumer goods. In addition, we should operate plant machinery at full capacity

by working out measures to replace materials which are

either nonexistent or in short supply in our country with

substitute materials and supplies and or with goods

imported from overseas through economic exchanges

with other countries on the principle of ministering to

each other's needs.

Under the present circumstances in which factories and

enterprises in the light industry sector are solidly

equipped with modern technologies, improving equipment and technical management is an urgent requirement for operating plant facilities at full capacity. Our

functionaries should keep abreast with the state of equipment in their respective units, secure a sufficient amount

of reserve parts, supply repair materials and supplies

satisfactorily so that maintenance work may be carried

out on all plant machinery on time. All workers for their

part should get fully acquainted with the plant

machinery they handle, operate it in accordance with the

standard manufactory procedure and the technical specifications, and always take meticulous care of the

machinery so that it may work to the limit of its

efficiency.

A decisive guarantee for bringing about a revolutionary

turnaround in the production of daily necessities by

putting efforts into the development of light industry lies

in having functionaries and workers give full play to the

revolutionary ethos of fighting doggedly to implement

lines and policies set forth by the party and the leader,

cherishing infinite loyalty to the party and the leader.

Infinite loyalty to the party and the leader is the most

important trait that our functionaries and workers

should have.

Infinite loyally to the party and the leader should manifest itself in the practical struggle to thoroughly protect

and implement lines and policies set forth by the party

and the leader, by upholding these lines and policies as a

matter of faith.

Today, radically increasing the production daily necessities by staging a light-industrial revolution is an important militant task set forth by our party in order to solve

the people's food, clothing, and shelter problems in a

satisfactorily manner to suit the demands of socialism.

For our party, which regards the promotion of the

people's welfare as the supreme principle of its activity,

it is indeed an important duty to upgrade the people's

standard of material and cultural living. Therefore, the

infinite loyalty of our functionaries and workers to the

party and the leader should naturally manifest itself in

continually improving their living standard by staging a

light-industrial revolution and radically boosting the

production of daily necessities.

Our functionaries and workers should responsibly insure

the fulfillment of the assignments of their respective

units for the production of light industry goods by giving

full play to their revolutionary spirit and militancy, with

a firm determination to drastically increase the output of

daily necessities by vigorously waging the light-industrial

revolution as intended by the party.

Particularly, leading functionaries in light industry

should work out economic and technical measures necessary on time to wage the light-industrial revolution and

command the battle in a dynamic way to suit the

changing situation, by plan and coordinate their efforts

in economic organizational work and command.

Our functionaries should wage a vigorous struggle to put

in place all necessary conditions for production, by

always giving full play to the revolutionary spirit of

self-reliance and fortitude, the spirit of doing things by

their own efforts, even with no supply furnished from the

upper level, although whatever supply from the upper

level is welcome. Leading economic functionaries,

including those in light industry, should exert great

efforts, from a standpoint of being masters responsible

for the people's livelihood, to supply on a priority basis

sufficient quantities of raw materials, fuel, and supplies

necessary for the production of consumer goods, and to

stabilize production at a high level by operating all light

industry factories at full capacity.

In boosting the production of consumer goods, it is very

important to actively mobilize and utilize local reserves

and potential. Provincial economic guidance organizations and functionaries in the light industry sector

should enhance their sense of responsibility and role and

bring about a turnaround in the production of consumer

goods by planning and coordinating their efforts to

mobilize and utilize local idle materials and build local

raw materials bases.

Bringing about a revolutionary turnaround in the production of daily necessities by putting efforts into development of light industry is a rewarding struggle to

impalement our party's farsighted idea of providing our
JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989 Economic Construction 13

people with an affluent and cultured life suitable to the

inherent needs of self-dependent human beings.

All functionaries and workers should launch into the

struggle as one to boost radically the production of

light-industrial goods needed in daily life and go forward

with brilliantly implementing our party's farsighted idea

of providing a more affluent and cultured life for our

people.

Developing Foreign Trade Is an Important

Guarantee for Accelerating the Socialist Economic

Construction

SKI204120789 Pyongyang KULLOJA in Korean

No 2, Feb 89 pp 61-65

[Kim Tal-hyon]

[Text] Today, by upholding the militant task that the

great leader Comrade Kim Il-song put forth in his New

Year's address, our people are vigorously carrying out

the grandiose march to effect new upsurges in production and construction.

One of the important aspects in successfully accomplishing the heavy economic construction task for this

year and strengthening the foundation of the self-reliant

socialist national economy is to further develop foreign

trade according to the realistic demand of socialist

construction.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song has taught: At

present, one of the important issues for the economic

development of our country is to rapidly develop foreign

trade.

The scale of the people's economy has grown beyond

comparison, and the sectors of the economy have been

greatly diversified. This reality of our country demands

that foreign trade be further expanded and developed.

(Kim Il-song collected works, volume 35, p 335)

Developing foreign trade is an important policy, which

our party invariably maintains in socialist economic

construction.

Foreign trade, which is the exchange of commodities

among countries, has a very important place in economic

construction. It is through foreign trade that each

country settles, based on the principle of satisfying each

other's needs, the problems of the supply of raw materials, resources, and products that are unavailable or

insufficient domestically.

Our party, based on a scientific analysis of the role of

foreign trade in the economic construction, put forth a

chuche-oriented foreign trade policy in the early days,

with which we can actively seek economic exchanges

with foreign countries based on the principle of complete

equality and reciprocity, and has elucidated specific

destinations and ways for its implementation at every

period and stage of the economic construction. In particular, our party has invariably maintained the principle

of expanding and developing foreign trade entirely for

building a self-reliant national economy.

Through the thorough implementation of our party's

chuche-oriented foreign trade policy, we have established trade relations with numerous countries on the

five continents of the world and have systematically

increased trade volumes every year. At the same time, we

have consolidated friendly relations with the peaceloving countries on the globe and strengthened the

international solidarity of our revolution. Today, our

country's foreign trade is a powerful means of actively

serving the socialist economic construction and the

people's life and is greatly contributing to enhancing the

international prestige of the country and developing our

friendly and cooperative relations with many countries

of the world.

Today, as the socialist construction is vigorously carried

out at a new high stage and as we are facing the huge

tasks of the third 7-Year Plan, expanding and developing

foreign trade are very important.

At present, expanding and developing foreign trade are

an important guarantee for vigorously stepping up the

socialist economic construction.

Developing foreign trade, above all, makes it possible to

further step up the socialist economic construction

through the full mobilization of the great potential ofthe

self-reliant national economy that has been established.

Under the wise leadership of the great leader Comrade

Kim Il-song and dear Comrade Kim Chong-il, our

people have successfully completed enormous construction projects, thus changing the appearance of the

country and establishing the strong foundation of the

self-reliant socialist national economy. The might of the

large heavy and light industrial plants and of the

medium and small local industrial plants, which our

people have established, is powerful, and their production potential is very extensive.

When the great potential of our powerful self-reliant

national economy is fully mobilized, we can effect ceaseless upsurges in production and construction, successfully accomplish the huge tasks of the third 7-Year Plan,

and' further strengthen the material and technological

foundation to win the complete victory of socialism.

The important question, that arises in fully mobilizing

the great potential ofthe self-reliant national economy is

to solve the problems of raw materials and resources

even more properly.

Today, the amount of raw materials and resources

demanded by the plants and enterprises of the people's

economy is very large, and their varieties are countless.

To properly solve the problems of raw materials and

resources for the economic construction, foreign trade

should be further expanded and developed, along with

the active struggle to provide what we can domestically

produce to the maximum extent.
14 Economic Construction

JPRS-AKU-89-OB

29 September 1989

Only by developing foreign trade based on the principle

of satisfying each other's need, can we swiftly and

sufficiently import the raw materials and resource that

arc unavailable in our country or insufficient to meet the

demand. Through the development of foreign trade, we

can properly solve the problems ofthe raw materials and

resources, which wc urgently need, and more effectively

develop and exploit the rich natural resources of our

country by broadly introducing advanced technology. At

the same time, by maintaining the balance between the

production capacities and the supply of raw materials

and resources, we can put all plants and enterprises into

full operation and continue to stabilize production at

high levels. When the problems of raw materials and

resources are solved even more properly through the

development of foreign trade, the great potential of the

self-reliant national economy can be mobilized even

more fully, and the socialist economic construction can

be carried out rapidly.

Developing foreign trade also rapidly develops the technology and equipment of the people's economy to the

advanced level of the world, thus making it possible to

further step up the socialist economic construction.

Our party has set a bold goal to develop the technology

and equipment ofthe people's economy to the advanced

levels of the world and is vigorously leading the struggle

to realize it. The 14th plenary meeting ofthe 6th Central

Committee of the Workers Party of Korea [WPK], held

in December last year, discussed and decided on the

rapid development of the machine-tool, electronics, and

automation industries. The important objective of this

was also to fulfill the intent of our party to develop the

technology and equipment of the people's economy to

even higher levels.

The task to develop the technology and equipment ofthe

people's economy to the advanced levels of the world is

one of equipping the plants and enterprises of all sectors

of the people's economy with the modern machineries,

facilities, and equipment, which are the results of

modern science and technology. Modern and high-class

technology and equipment enhance the productivity of

labor and the quality of products, reduces the cost of

products, and frees the working people from the hardship of labor. Today, the question of rapidly developing

the technology and equipment of the people's economy

of our country to the advanced levels of the world is a

very important issue in successfully fulfilling the third

7-Year Plan, further strengthening the foundation of the

self-reliant socialist national economy, and providing an

even more independent and creative life for the working

people.

The important way to develop the technology and equipment of the people's economy to the advanced levels of

the world is to further develop foreign trade, while

placing emphasis on developing science and technology

and developing the machine-tool, electronics, and automation industries.

Foreign trade opens the possibility of broadly accepting

newer and more efficient mechanical facilities and

results of research of most modern science and technology. Therefore, when we actively expand foreign

trade, we can timely purchase developed mechanical

facilities and advanced technology that are of help to the

development of our technology, and can further keep in

order, reinforce and rebuild existing technology and

equipment with new technology. Thus, we can accelerate

the modernization and scientification of the national

economy.

Furthermore, by supplementing and perfecting the

internal structure of each domain of the national

economy and building more plants equipped with

modern technology, we can firmly ensure diversity of

structure in each domain of the overall national

economy and further consolidate the self-reliant system

of the nation's economy.

Foreign trade not only enables one to accelerate the

modernization and scientification of the national

economy and to further strengthen its self-reliance, but

also actively functions as a factor upgrading the quality

and quantity of export goods and increasing their variety

in conformity with the trend of external markets. Thus,

we can push ahead with technological innovations in all

domains of the national economy and constantly

improve technology and equipment.

All this shows that developing the foreign trade is an

important guarantee for further accelerating the socialist

economic construction by developing the technology and

equipment ofthe national economy up to the standard of

the advanced nations of the world and for comprehensively displaying the existing great potentials of the

self-reliant national economy.

Today, we have all the conditions and sufficient possibilities to actively expand foreign trade in conformity

with the party's intentions and realistic conditions of

socialist construction. We have our party's chucheoriented foreign trade policy, which is brilliantly

emboding the ideas and theories of the great leader

Comrade Kim Il-song and dear Comrade Kim Chong-il

concerning foreign trade. We also have abundant natural

resources and the foundation for a mighty socialist

self-reliant national economy.

We have precious experience gained in the course of

struggle to implement our party's foreign trade policy in

the past.

At a time when socialist construction is being vigorously

pushed ahead at a high stage and when we face enormous

tasks ofthe third 7-Year Plan, the issue of whether or not

we can rapidly develop foreign trade totally depends on

how our functionaries and workers carry out the struggle

to implement the party's trade policy.

We should effect a new turning point in foreign trade

work by thoroughly implementing our party's policy for
JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989 Economic Construction 15

actively expanding foreign trade and demonstrating the

lofty revolutionary spirit and combat capabilities.

Comrade Kim Chong-il. member of the Political Bureau

Presidium of the WPK Central Committee and secretary

of the party Central Committee, has indicated:

"We should expand economic ties with other countries

in conformity with our country's rapidly developing

economy. We should also expand trade transactions

even with capitalist countries, not to mention socialist

countries."

What is important, above all, in further developing

foreign trade is drastically increasing export.

Foreign trade, which assumes export and import as its

basic content, takes export as its first process and precedence work. Only when export is increased, can we

timely purchase raw materials, materials and facilities

required for economic construction and the people's life,

and create a certain quantity of reserves of imported

goods. Increasing exports is of great significance in

correctly ensuring the balance of imports and exports

and creating a number of sources for imports.

The basic way to increase export is to decisively increase

the relative importance of exporting end items and

processed goods by developing the processing industry.

Today, a firm foundation for the self-reliant and modern

processing industry, on which the export of end items

and processed goods can be increased, has been laid in

our country. If we rely on our own production and

technological foundation, we can exceedingly increase

the export of raw materials, half-finished products, and

processed items, including machines and facilities.

During the new long-range plan period, we should drasticallv increase the export of modern metallurgical processing facilities including digitally-controlled machine

tools, ships, freight cars, electric machines, agricultural

machines, parts and components of large-size facilities,

mechanically-processed items, electronic daily necessities, and processed light industry products, thus effecting

a new turning point in the export structure. Wc should

also strive to increase the export of processed products of

nonferrous metals and magnesia clinker that wc

exported to the world markets without processing.

In order to increase exports, we should actively discover

and mobilize new sources of export, while upgrading the

relative importance of processed items. The sources of

export are in all domains ofthe national economy and in

all areas of the nation. When we actively wage the

struggle to discover and mobilize the sources of export,

wc can increase the variety of export items with less

investment and can further expand exports.

The work of increasing exports can be firmly ensured

only through firm bases of producing export goods and

proper transportation. In order to organize the bases

producing export goods with a view to the future, we

should epochally increase the basic construction investment in this domain and should broadly build and

organize plants, workshops, and work teams specializing

in the production of export goods. At the same time, we

should rapidly increase the production of various export

goods by further modernizing the facilities producing

export items. In addition, we should develop ship,

railway, and airplane transport to transport the export

products.

In expanding and developing foreign trade it is important to thoroughly implement the party's policy for

diversifying and multiplying trade.

Diversifying and multiplying trade have emerged as

important issues today, when the scale of the national

economy has become unprecedentedly large and ties of

production and consumption between domains and

between units have deepened. In the past, when the

economic scale was not too large and ties between plants

and between enterprises were not complicated, the

demand for imported raw materials could be met to a

certain extent without widening the scope of trade.

However, today under the environment in which our

nation's economy is rapidly developing and will constantly develop speedily in the future, only when trade is

diversified and multiplied, can we realize economic

exchanges with many world nations through various

forms and methods. Thus, we can timely purchase diversified raw materials and materials.

The ones who play the greatest and important role in

trade and the external economic works of our country

are the socialist nations. The socialist markets are solid

and secure and the socialist countries are carrying out

trade transactions in an advantageous manner, based on

mutual convenience and mutual understanding.

By continuously attaching importance to socialist markets in foreign trade, we should actively and broadly

carry out the external economic work, including trade

with socialist countries.

Under the banner of collective self-reliance, we should

broadly carry out trade with nonaligned countries and

other developing nations, based on the principle of

satisfying each other's need. At the same time, we should

make active efforts to realize various forms of SouthSouth cooperation in order to help each other in various

fields, including the rural economy.

At the same time, we should broadly develop economic

relations, including trade exchanges and joint venture

with various capitalist countries ofthe world that respect

our nation's sovereignty and are friendly to our country,

based on the principle of equality and mutual benefits.

What is important in further expanding and developing

foreign trade is to thoroughly observe the good creditfirst principle.

Good credit is the life of foreign trade and a precondition for developing trade relations with other countries.
16 Economic Construction

JPRS-AKU-89-013

29 September 1989

Trade is a transaction between nations and assumes good

credit as a precondition. Therefore, one should have

good credit in selling and buying goods. Only when one

has good credit, can one actively carry out trade activities and constantly increase trade partners. Keeping

good credit in trade is an important issue linked with the

nation's external authority.

In order to thoroughly keep the good credit-first principle, we should send the products to other countries in

a timely manner as promised. He who demands the

goods establishes plans for the use and consumption of

such goods according to the date of delivery designated

on the trade contract. Therefore, he would suffer great

damage if he fails to receive all of the relevant goods in

designated time. He would then claim damages or cancel

the contract.

The units producing export goods should give a decisive

precedence to the production and transport of export

goods over that of other products. In particular, they

should properly organize the production plan for export

goods at the beginning of the month. They should also

guarantee raw materials, fuel and materials with priority

and properly organize and implement cooperative production so that the production plan for export goods can

be accomplished ahead of schedule.

In order to observe the good credit-first principle, we

should keep the date of delivery of goods and, at the

same time, should improve the quality and packing of

export goods. The high-quality export goods can make us

correctly implement the trade contract with other countries and smoothly meet the customers' demand for the

quality of goods. Thus, high-quality goods are an important precondition for us to win good credit in trade and

to expand our markets.

By establishing traits to work earnestly and frugally

among the producers of export goods, we should

encourage the workers to make qualitatively excellent

products and to strictly observe technical regulations

and standard manufacturing procedures by intensifying

technological guidance over the production of export

goods.

The price of the same products may vary according to

how we pack them. The packing of goods works as a

factor increasing or decreasing the customers. Therefore,

we should pack the export items solidly in various

modern ways by producing a large quantity of packing

materials.

It is important for further expanding and developing

foreign trade to have a correct outlook on trade.

Trade is important and indispensable to socialist economic construction. There is no domain in the national

economv that is not related to trade. Today, when the

socialist"construction is being vigorously pushed ahead,

the role of trade has been further expanded. One of the

important guarantees for effecting a new productive

upsurge by all domains and units of the national

economy is to vigorously carry out foreign trade. Only

when the functionaries and workers have a correct

outlook on trade, can they actively rise in the struggle to

implement the party's trade policy and effect a new

turning point in foreign trade.

Keenly realizing the party's intention to further develop

foreign trade, our functionaries and workers should

thoroughly carry out the party's trade policy by displaying the lofty revolutionary spirit and combat capability.

Export items and import goods are being produced and

consumed in the midst of mutual relations among all

domains and units of the national economy. With correct awareness that trade is production and production is

trade, we should fulfill without fail the national economic plans and export plans placed before each domain

and each unit.

The responsibility of the functionaries in the trade

domain for the struggle to implement the party's trade

policy is indeed important and great. Deeply realizing

their lofty missions to actively contribute to socialist

economic construction and promotion of the people's

living standard, all functionaries in the external economic sector, including trade, should more thoroughly

arm themselves with our party's foreign trade policy and

should organize and carry out trade activities in a

diversified manner, firmly maintaining the chucheoriented position. In particular, they should familiarize

themselves with practical trade procedures and correctly

grasp the economic condition ofthe world and the trend

of the markets. Thus, they should carry out their works

positively and skillfully to cope with such situations.

The struggle to develop foreign trade is a glorious and

rewarding struggle to accelerate the socialist economic

construction and to enhance the nation's external

authority.

We should further strengthen the might ofthe self-reliant

national economy by actively expanding foreign trade in

conformity with the demand of the developing realities.

Thus, we should expedite the complete victory of

socialism.
