Kim has lifted, partially, censorship on pro-North publications. He will most likely approve the North-South joint celebration of the August 15 Liberation Day at Panmunjum proposed by North Korea. In short, Kim Dae Jung has done more for North-South reconciliation than any other leader of either side. Mr. O Ik Je, Vice-Chairman Of The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland, was interviewd by KCNA today over the fact that the letter he sent to Kim Dae Jung last year during the Presidential Election campaign was used by the South Korean authorities for the North Wind.

It is only natural and right that I, one of his old friends, sent him a letter with my sincerity. At that time, I did not anticipate any dishonest forces intercepting and abusing my letter to Pres.

But the South Korean authorities are not only keeping it intact in such a way as renaming and readjusting it, but planning to upgrade its power.
