orea is often called "the Balkans
of the Orient" in view of her
geographical position which is
sandwitched between the great
powers. In the past, the international powers
which 'surrounded her I brought about the7,
most unhappy and miserable conditions to
the people of the peninsula. How ever, it
is entirely unjustif such results are attributed
to the:. Korea's geographical position. It
was not Korea which wanted to get involved
in the power politics. It waS solely on account
of the manipulation of the international
Powers which determined the fate of
Korea. If Korea was to be blamed for any
thing, it was the inability of her former rulers
who could not cope with the ever-changing
international situation that affected Korea and
her people.
After the Japanese surrender, Korea is
liberated if not completely. Her people are
awakened politically. At least in the northern
half of the people's Democratic Republic of
Korea?north of the, 38
Parallel?the people have
shaken off the shackles
which used to hamper their
progress toward security, and
prosperity. In contrast to the
imperialistic'policy pursued
by the United States in
South Korea, the Soviet
occupation of North Korea-
was not only benevolent
but was the most helpful
factor in enabling the
Koreans to stand up and to
get what they really needed.
The Soviet occupation of
North Korea and the establisment of the
People's Democratic Republic are regarded by
the Koreans as being the milestones of their
national destiny. The Soviet occupation Was
meant the complete collapse of the Japanese
rule in Korea and the pavement of the way
toward a free life for the Korean people. The
People's Republic was not set up on an in-
secure ground. It is laid down on a solid
foundation which had been duly prepared
since the liberation. The Soviet troops were
withdrawn in conformity with the wishes of
the Koreans who felt strong enough to defend
themselves against aggressors.
The once oppressed and exploited people
are today freed from all shackles. They have
now land to till and factories for work for
their own benefit. Their improving living
conditions have become convincing factors";
for their loyalty to their government and their
leaders. A brief survey of the achievements
of North Korea since the liberation would
serve to illuminate how these have been done
and what benefits are being received by the
people as a result.
It is an indisputable fact that the present

progress being witnessed in North Korea was
made possible only through the great leader-
ship manifested by General Kim Il-sung, and
also by the ,decent and wise policy of the
Soviet Government pursued since the libera-
tion. Upon occupation of the northern half
of Korea, the Sov.iet authorities handed over
immediately to the Korean people the rail-
ways, factories, mines which had been seized
from the Japanese. During their three-year
stay in Korea they accorded every assistance
possible in the enforcement of various
democratic reforms so eagerly awaited by the
peqple. In addition, they helped
them to start to rebuild their
shattered economy and culture
crippled by the long domination of
the Japanese imperial sts.
. Thanks to the land reform, at
present, the peasants have become
owners of the land which are being
tilled by them. The nationalization
of essential industries has enabled
the workers to work for their own
benefit as well as for the State.
The enforcment of the agricul-
iural taxation in kind and of the
labour law including an eight-hour
working system and a social secur-
ity system have insured a rapid
Pyengyang Textile Mill, and the Nampo
Plate Glass Manufacturing Factory are worthy
of mentioning.
North Korea used to be known as an
area which always suffered from food shortage.
However, following the land reform, it
has been successfully transformed into an area
capable of producing foodstuffs sufficient to
meet the demand of its inhabitants. Already
in 1948 North Korea surpassed the output by
104 per cent over that in 1939 which was the
maximum output ever recorded under the
Japanese rule. As a result, all the commodity
improvement of the livelihood both of the
peasants and workers.
It is noteworthy that more than one
thousand' essential factories and plants have
so far recovered, of which two hundred are
equipped with the most up-to-date machines.
Besides the recovery, one of the most significant
facts which proves that North Korea is
progressing rapidly in industrialization is the
establishment of new factories non-existent in
the past. Among other things, the Pyengyang
Machine Tool Manufacturing Factory, the

prices have fallen considerably in proportion
to the increase of the outputs of agriculture
and industry.
Today, under the new Twc -Year People's
Economic Plan, the people in North Korea are
devoted not only to the work for the northern
half of the Republic, but also to the preparation
of the eventual unification of the country-to
feed and clothe the southern compatriots, and
to recover the factories in South Korea which
are collapsing rapidly due to the destructive
policy pursued by the American imperilists

and by the national traitors. The extensive
plan is carried out not only by the peasants
and workers alone but by the entire people
including intellectuals and Private industrialists
and businessmen who are allowed to
engage in their field of '
activity with maximum
aid granted by the
government.
In cultural life the
days are gone when an
artist or a writer starved
to death before he could
attain his material success.
An extensive freedom is
given to the cultural work-
ers for their contribution
to the cultural developmen
of the people. They no
longer crawl helplessly
in a slum, gnawing their
talent for no purpose till
they disappear ignonim-
and higher education at varieus institutions.
In short, within four years' time since the
liberation North Korea has been transformed
into a world of light from darkness. Today

ously. They have now become active workers
of the society for the cultural life of the masses.
The illiteracy which used to compel the people
ream in always in spiritual darkness has all but
been wiped out. At present, almost everybody
in North Korea knows how to read and write.
Hundreds of thousands of the sons and daughters
of the toiling people are receiving today middle
and democracy in a strong
contrast to the situation
in South Korea where
the people are starving
and halfnaked, where the
people are compelled to
rise and fight against the
new tyranny in order to
be re-liberated from their
new masters.
The illustrations pre-
sented in this- modest
pictorial would form a
vivid picture reminding
what a free people could
do once they are really
freed to devote their
energy and patriotism
to their now welfare ard
to the interests of their own country. Any
sympathy or interest shown by the reader in
connection with this pictorial will, therefore,
serve the original purpose of its publication-

of the world.

history of the Korean independence
movement was turned over on Aug.
25, 1948. On this day the People's

through underground method while in North _
Korea 99.97 of the population had Voted.
The inauguration of the people's Supreme

he land reform is considered to be
the most important one among
the achievements gained through
various democratic measures
undertaken by the People's
Republic, as ttie peasants occupy
over 136% of the entire pcipulation of Korea.
Since the promulgation of the land Reform
Law in March 1946 by the Provisional Peo-
ple's Cemmittee under the leadership of
General Kim Il-sung, the first step taken was
to make 720,000 households of tenants have
791,390 hectares of land. Thu's the farmers
became owners of their land and the deep-
rooted feudal relationship of the village life
? was completely eliminated. ,
As a result, the living standard .of the
peasants has been much raised. The peasants
who used to be constantly harassed by hunger
are now not only sufficientlY. fed but also
have surplus food. Further, the villages are
enjoying a civilized and cultured life. A large
scale construction works of residences are
underway for them. Electric lamps, and

The Development of Livestock Industry
During the war the Japanese imperialists took away a large
number of livestock from Korea to Japan, depleting the industry
to such an extent that every 35 households had only one head
of bull or cow. General Kim Il-sung stressed that the second impor-
tant task of developing rural economy consists of the devdopment
of the livestock industry. "In order to expand the agricultural
production, we must develop the livestock ? indus,trY and must set
up sources of feed", he declared. "To, meet the individual de-
mand for meat consumption, we should, first of all, increase the
number of pigs," he added. lie encouraged the peasants to fulfill
this task by utilizing properly the advanced science.

Marine resources are rich and abundant. However, -
in the past the output of marine ?products were
limited due to the fact that the industry was mostly in private
hands. Orly sine 1946 the state began to organize and oPerate
the industry gradually. In 1948 the state operated 4.2% an- d
the marine cooperatives 19.7% of the industry respectively.
According to the Two-Year People's Economic Plan, the
capacity of the fishing industry is scheduled to be raised to 39.6%
in 1949 and 65% in 1950 respectively.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
he industrial development is most essential for promoting the livelihood of the people. On Aug. 10, 1946, the Provisional
People's Committee in North Korea promulgated The Law of Nationalization of Industries which subsequently nationalized
all the major industries including ,communication, transportation, banking formerly belonged either to Japanese or to national
traitors.. This policy laid the foundation of the rapid development of the industries, enabling the maximum utilization
of manpower of the people for their own benefit.
The industries in North Korea sustained heavy daraiges at the time of the Japanese surrender. 19 electric oants were
destroyed; 64 coal and other mines were flooded while 178 mines were destroyed; 47 plants of diverse categories were either
damaged or ?destroyed. Thus the industries of North Korea were completely paralysed. ' Following the nationalization of industries and the
promulgation of the Labour Law, the workers responded spontaneously to the appeal of Generat Kim II-sung. by devoting their efforts to the
rapid recovery of the industry Wheel after wheel began to turn; c4im-tey after chimney started to puff smoke. Every field of industry
not only recovered their former capacity but also surpassed the figures recorded before the Liberation.
?The Two-Year People's Economic Plan" has been put into effect'in the early 1919 which is scheduled to be completed at the end of 1950.
In his new year address General Kim Il-sung appealed to Ole people for a triumphant accomplishment of this task. He said among other
things, that the total output of the state operated industries in 1950 should`be raised two-fold over that in 1948; that the output of the metallurgical,
machine and chemical industries should be greatly increased. ? In field Of light industry, especially in fiber indubtry, 1.200.000 meters and 6,000.090
meters of silk clothing material are scheduled to be produced i'n 1914 and 19i) respectively. The output of artificial silk in 1950 is scheduled to be
three-fold camoared with that in 1943 while:that of the cotton stuffs will be increased two fold.

n June 1946 the Provisional People's Committee of North Korea promulgated the Labour
Law. The main points of this law consist of 8-hour work-day system, social insurepc.
indiscrimination of work and Wage between male and female workers, abolition of child
labour and reduction of Workirg hours for those 4ed under sixteen.
The social insurance defined in the Labour Law is playing an important role in the life
of the people in North Korea. The premium paid by the workers and government emyloyees who participate
in the social insurance occupies only one per cc nt of the wage they receive. The sharp increase of the
insurance fund during the past three years (1917, 1998, 1949) Proves how enthusiastic are the workers in
this respect: 220,000,000 won in 1947; 260,000,000 won in 1948; 958,000,-000
won in 1949. The number Otparticipants in 1948 Was 6,210.000, persons.
The Labour Law defines that the workers and government employees
are allowed to have not more than six, days of special furlough pc r Year
in accordance with national and religious customs, besich sundays' and
national holidays (5 days).
? The Labour Law alsa defines that all the workers should have at
least two weeks of regular vaCati an Per -year. while children under 16
'should have at least one month of vacation. Those workers engaged in
dangerous industry are granted at least two weeks of supplementary
furlough in addition to the -regular vacation.
According to the figures published;in 1948, the social insurance
agency established 134 insurance hospitals, 70' people's hospitals, 10
red-crOss hospitals, 7 sanatoriums and health resorts
in 11 scenic 'districts, of which the ' world famous
Diamond Mountain district alone provides 60 health
resorts. ' Thus every,' worker and government
employee can-enjoy' free of charge

year at one of the resorts.
