"When KIM Hyong-sik finished his prison term, he continued his
national liberation activity without let'-up: Even the vicious sappression
r
and persecution of the Japanese imperialists, which became more arbitrary
as the months went by, could not break his revolutionary fighting spirit.
He was obliged to seek refuge in Manchuria due to the pursuit and perse-
cution of the Japanese imperialists. He continued his natiOnal liberation
activity against Japanese imperialism in Paldo Ku, Changpaek'county, Im-
gang Province, and Masan county, Ryodong Province, in Manchuria. He died
in 1928 at tae age of 36, with endless hatred for Japanese imperialism
in his bosom, where he had been injured in prison.
'"Mrs. KANG, the general's mother, was also from a poor farm home.
She actively supported' the revolutionary fighting of her husband, KIM
Hyong-sik, during successive hardships and persecution, and always ins- ?
truc.ted her children in patriotism. The general's mother died in 1932,
when the general was 20 years old, of persecution by the Japanese, poverty,
and starvation.
"The general's uncle, KIM Hyong-kwon, was also a fervent Anti
Japan fighter. He took part in revolutionary activity, was arrested by
the Japanese police, and was tortured. He was sentenced to 15 years
imprisonment and unfortunately died in arison after suffering.
"In the general, who was reared and instructed in such revolutionary
circumstances, the spirit of hatred and resistance against Japanese impe-
rialism could not help but saring from Lis earlieat boyhood."

(At this point, the plight of the Korean people under
the Japanese reign is described in great detail -- the mise-
rable condition of factory workers, and farmers, the Japanese
oppression of the Korean people, not only economically but
also politically and. culturally, etc. Then the biography
describes how, in the 1920s, factories were built and industry
was promoted for the purpose of more plunder and exploitation
by the Japanese imperialists, and how, with these developments,
there first appeared .a proletariat to become the vanguard of
Koreaaa1iberation9 "The roar of the victoris cannon of the
great socialist October Revolution in Russia awoke the colonial
Orient from its sleep." Thus, Marx-Leninism became the boats
of the strategy and tactics of Koreaas national liberation
movement9 Therefore, this mass movement was not confined to
economic quests but had. political characteristics, and was
carried out not only against Japanese plunderers but also against
the feudal Korean bourgeoisie who had had illicit intercourse
with Japanese plunderers. Then the biography.continues0
"The revolutionary environment of his home, the Japanese impe-
rialistsa cruel reign and *suppression of our fatherland and our people,
the victory of the great socialist October Revolution in Russia, and the
infiltration into Korea of the progressive thoughts of Marx-Leninism
all these things exerted enormous influence upon the boyhood of General
Kik Il-sung in forming his future conception of the world.
"When be was 149 General KIM Il-sung followed his father to
Manchuria and entered Ytk Mum Middle School in Ki].-rim. General KIM Il-sung
joined the Communist Youth Union in 1926 while in school. He already was
the head of the Students Movement. He dedicated himself and struggled
her& to bring progressive students together, in the Communist Youth Union,
an illegal organization at that time.

"General KIM Il-sung was'arrested by Chinese war lords on sus-
picion of being involved in work of the Communist youth Union and of pro-
pagandizing the revolutionary thought Of Marx-Leninism, and was imprisoned
in Kil Rim from 1927 to 1928. But sanpression, Persecution and imprisonment
could not break the stubborn fighting spirit of thiS 16-yeA,old revolutionary%
"After General KIM Il-sung was released from prison, he was able 'to
enter the middle school and Study again throUgh the good offices of many
comrades and progressive- teadhers. He graduated from the middle school in
1929.. After graduation, he worked secretly as secretary of the Manchuria
Special Area of the Communist Youth Union and soon became one of the most
. influential and revolutionary young leaders of the Communist Youth Unilen in
Manchuria.
"In 1931, General KIM Il-sung joined the Communist Party. From
this time on, a new era began in his revolutionary activity. This was the
turning point in the history of Korees national fight. The Korea Communist
Party, which was founded in 1925, gave raoid development to the national
liberation movement. Workere strikes and farmers uprisings broke out all
over the country."
(Several instances of strikes and -uprisings then are cited.
The Korean Communist Party ceased its organized existence in 1928
due to the lack of truly revolutionary, Bolshevik leaders and also .
due to the influence' of the bourgeoisie and intellectuals who.
.constitutedthe backbone of the Communist -Party at that time.)

the new, active type of fighting or armed guerrilla warfare. In many
inland areas, Anti-Japan guerrilla ranks composed of progressive workers,
farmers, and students were formed under the leadership of Steady Communists.
At the head of this guerrilla fighting., General KIM ll-sung grew to great
stature. Since then, all the people of Korea have called the name of
General KIM Il-enng with enormous national pride."
(The biography then mentions the Japanese aggression in
Manchuria on 18 September 1931.. It cites Sta1in8s comment on
Japanese aggression from his Short Eistory of the Soviet Commu-
nist Party. Coincident with this Japanese aggression, there
exploded an anti-Japan movement of the masses against the armed
aggression of Japanese imperialism in every region of Manchuria.
KIM Il-sung organized the anti-Japan mass uprising into armed
fighting which is the highest form of revolutionary fighting.
Be organized armed guerrillas composed of workers, farmers, and
patriotic youths and began to surprise the Japanese Army and
police. The Communist Party members were the nucleus of KIM /1-
euaes Anti-Japan guerrilla troops and in each unit the Party
organization and Communist Youth organization were established.
They played enormous roles in strengthening military regulati(2n
as well as the patriotism and fighting power of the guerrillas.
These guerrilla troops had close ties with masses. KIM Il-sung
organized among the masses of the people the Anti-Imperialism
Union, Volunteer Youth Army, The Association of Farmers, Vigilance
Committee of Farmers, Organization of Women and Girls, Guerrilla
Protection Unit, Anti-Japan Society, etc. as external organizations
and, while promoting the Anti-Japan guerrilla fighting, kept close
contact with these organizations. Surprised by this guerrilla
fighting, the Japanese Army stepped up subjugation operations and
mobilized police to arrest elements linked to KIM Il-sung.)
"By 1932, the generalIs guerrilla forces continued to grow and
succeeded in creating and enlarging their base of guerrilla warfare in
the neighbourhood of Mt. Chang Peek and the River Song Hwa."

(Then follows a discussion of the "liberated areas"
in Manchuria. .This is where they trained new military and
political officers and where tired guerrilla's rested,where
elementary arms- and equipment such.as ammunition, hand gre-
nades,- and clothes were rzoduced and repaired. In this
"liberated area," land was freely distributed ,.to 'farmers and
the government administration was erected by the people.)
"In 1934, General KIM Il-sung united the Anti-Japan Peo-leRs
Guerrillas of Eastern Manchuria with the Anti-Japan Peo!le8s Guerrilla
of Southern Manchuria and created the Korean People ?s Revolution Army.
On 5 11.ay 1936, he organized the Fatherland Light Return Society for
Anti-Japan National Unification, and became its chairman."
(The author then cites the programs of the Fatherland
?
Licht Return Society, drafted by KIM Il-sung, as an excellent
applicatien of principles, strategy, and tactics of
to Korea of the 1930/s.)
"Thus the accurate policies of the Unification Front
presented by the general and the political course most suitable to the
Korean people enabled him to enlarge and strengthen the Fatherland Licht
Return Society. Its influence permeated so deeply into the masses of the
people that it had a membership of more than 200,000 only a few months
after it was organized. The organization nets of the Fatherland Light
Return Society were extended to the towns along Rivers Yalu and Tuman,
such as Kaosan, Ho-in, Sinkalpa, Musan, Jeungsong, Sinuiju, Huchang, Sin-

On 4 June 1937, General KIM Il-sung personally leda unit of the
Korean Peoje's Revolutionary Army to his native land, crossed the Yalu
River, fought at Pochonbo? and struck alleavy blow at the Japanese impe-

broke the dark silence of their native land, sappreesed and suffering under
the cruel reign of the Japanese Imperialist Army and police, and made the
Japanese plunderer tremble who boasted of Korea as their "solid rear". The
gunshots at Podhohbo showed that the Korean people were alive, not dead,
and that the power of the Rational Liberation Movement was alive. At the
.same time, the gunshots at Podhonbo gave the Korean people new strength
for liberation, and hope for the future.

(As the first step in realising these programs, they
started to enlarge and strengthen the Communist Party. The
number of Party members grew from several hundred to several
thousand after on17 several months. Then, taking into con-
sideration the difficult problem ofSouth Korea, they decided
to convert North Korea alone to the base of democracy as pro-
vided by the Big Three Foreign Ministers at Moscow. On 8 Feb-
ruary 1946, the democratic parties: and,social organizations
organized a Provisional People's Commlttee of North Korea and
elected KIM II-sung chairman. Then they started to carry out
"democratic reforms."
On 5 March 1946, land reform was instituted. Then
came nationalization of industry on 10 August 1946 and the labor
Decrees of 24 June 1946. Combined with nationalization of in-
dustry, these factors guaranteed the rapid restoration and deve-
lopment of industry in North Korea. The author then devotes
considerable space to the praise of accomrliihments in North
Korea; the decree of equal rights for both ilexes (30 July 1946);
establishment of many hospitals, dispensaries, parks, and kinder-
gartens; construction of eanitoriums; promotion of education;
Increased publication of books, magazines, papers; and accomp-
lishments in the fields of literature, arts theatre, cinema, etc.
In contrast with these accomplishments in North Korea,
the author depicted the plight of South Korea. He blamed American
imperialists for the frustration of the America-Soviet Joint Com-
mittee and for the separation of Korea. Then he discussed the
North-South Joint Conference of April, 19480 the separate election
of 1 May 1948 in South Korea, eine_ the historic general election
of the Supreme People's Assembly in North Korea on 25 August 1948

imperialists and their running dogs, the pro-Japan groups and national traitors,
began to prepare publicly for the civil war against our Fatherland and people

"So, in June, 1949, a convention of representatives of 72 South

peaceful unification of our fatherland again in June, 1950. But the Syngman
Rhee traitors again frustrated this suggestion by threatening the supporters
of the peaceful fatherland unification as traitors.
"On 16 June 1950, the Standing Committee of the Supreme Peoples

guerrilla in Manchuria. The real Kr; Il-sung was then about 53 years
old, while the imposter was about 34. In October,' 1945, the bogus KIM
appeared in public for the first time under his new name. On October
14, he was introduced as a "victorious general" to more than 200,000
North Koreans assembled at a parade ground in Pyongyang.
"The story of NAM Ils life as reperted by the intelligence
source, revealed that his real name was KIM Chang-man. Reportedly
now about 47, he was born in a small village near Pyongyang. NAM Il
was propaganda chief of the North Korean Labor (Communist) Party until
he was appointed chief truce delegate for the Reds in July, 1951. That
appointment was made partly because of NAM Il4s ability in negotiations
and debate. He was not a military general. He appeared at the Kaeseng
aiid Panmanjom truce negotiations first under a title of lieutenant-general
and later an a full general, presumably given him to influence the Allied
truce:team.-
"The real NAM Il is a man about 50, trained in Russia. He was
president of a Communist college in Pyongyang and also an instructor at
the KIM Il-sung University there. KIM Chang-man, the imposter now known
as NAM Il, presumably' took his new name because the authentic NAM Il was
more highly regarded by the people. Like KIM Il-sung, NAM Il is considered.
a pro-Russian as against the pro-Chinese and the Nationalist Korean factions
in North Korea. This pro-Russian faction, considered moderates rather than
rabid pro-Russian, now appears to have gained control of the North Korean
government following the sweeping purge in recent weeks,"
