THE KOREAS LABOR PARTY AIM THE KIM IL-CONG REGflt
I. PRE-LIBERATION PERIOD
A. From Founding of Korean Communiet Party Until Its Dissolution
(1925-1929)
The Communist system of government with much political power,
which came into being after the successful Communist revolution of 1917
in Russia, has had a far-reaching influence. In the 1920's, communist
parties were organized successively in China, Japan and elsewhere. It
was inevitable that the influence reached Korea. However, the Korean
laboring class of that time was not yet matured enough to be able to
form its own political party. With the exception of its railroads,
Korea in the 1920's had not developed modern industry. Nevertheless,
as early as 1 March 1919, when a nation-wide anti-imperialist, people's
liberation movement was conducted, the Korean masses felt the need for
having their own political party in one form or another.
The Japanese Government General in Korea at that time suppressed
completely such a desire on the part of the Korean masses. As a result,
only a handful of progressive workers and nationalists began to study
some of the Communist theories. On 17 April 1925, the Korean Communist
Party, the first political party in Korea, was organized illegally by
these people in alliance with the radical elements of the intelligensia.
The striking difference between the Communist party in Korea and those
of other countries is that in the latter, the Communist parties are
formed as opposition to capitalistic liberal party already in existence,

while in Koreik it was just the opprnAte -- the Cotzunist Party waL; formed
as a national party to counter the foreign oppression and not as an op-
position party of a capitalist political party.
St 1/4., itt, A
Under these historical conditions, the Korean Communist Party
gained a strong support not only from the laboring class but also from
the peasantry, intelligensia, and the petite bourgeoisie. One of the
many reasons why the leading clique of the present-day Korean Labor
Party, led by Kim Il-song,continues to exist despite the repeated and
irretrievable failures, is that the party has built up a firm confidence
among the Korean masses as a national party. However, because of the
beterogenous nature of its membership and the constant oppression by
the authorities, the Korean Communist Party at the time of its founding
was split up into small groups and strong sectarianism was evident within
the party. There were the so-called Tuesday, Marxist-Leninist, Shanghai,
and the Seoul factions. In 1929, the Comintern rejected this Communist
party as a branch because of the bitter factional strife within the party.
During the four years in which the Korean Communist Party existed, it
recorded only one success When on 10 June 1926 at the time of the funeral
for Xing Sun Chong, the last ruler of the Ti Dynasty, the party organized
a as struggle, which came to be known as the 10 June Manse Movement.

Domestic factions)

When the Communist Party was organized for the first time on
17 April 1925, it was a group centered around the Tuesday Faction. The
Tuesday Association was the name of a study croup devoted to ibe Com- aucal
munist theory before the establishment of a Communist party. The most
famous names within the Tuesday Faction were Pak lion-yong and Kwon 0-sal.
At that time, Pak HOn-yong, who was a senior student at the
Seoul First Higher School, used his own home as a safehouse and par-
ticipated in the positive organization of the Party, and at the same
time organized the Communist youth league and became its leader.
Ti Sung-yop, who did not join the Tuesday Faction officially,
nevertheless joined the (Communist] Party as the youngest member while
he was still a student at the Inchon Commercial School. In November 1925,
Pak Eon-yang was arrested by the police in Sinuiju while he wad on his
way back to Korea from Shanghai. As a result, he was unable to partici-
pate in the 10 June Manse Movement.
The 10 June Mansehbvement was actually directed by Kwon 0-sel,
Who was then the leader of the Communist youth league. Kwon 0-sol was
forced to go underground as a result of this incident, but was finally
arrested and died in prison. Around that time, Kwon 0-jik, the younger
brother of Kwon 0-cot, was among the first students to be sent abroad
to attend the Communist University of the Toilers of the East in the
USSR at the recommendation of the Korean Communist Party. Immediately
upon his release from the Taejon Prison at the time of the national
sfcRti,

. Pak's right-hand man, and organized and assumed chairmanship of the
Communist youth league as well as the editorship of the Communist Party
� organ. In May 1946, he fled to North Korea to escape arrest by the US53:,N.
Military Government in connection with the incident involving the pring- r
ing of counterfeit notes at the Communist Party Headquarters printing
shop. In North Korea, hei became al:sistant editor of Nodong Sinmun,
but was forced to resign from this post for writing an article in which
: he referred to Kim Li-song as a "youthful general." Since the propaganda
efforts at that time by the Kim II-song faction were concentrated in
building him up as "the clear-sighted leader of the Korean people,"
Kwon0-jik provoked Kim Il-song. As a matter of fact, Kwon 0-jik's
fate then was already doomed for a purge by Kim Il-song. Fortunately
for him, Kwon 0-jik escaped more severe punishment since his party
affiliation was with the South Korean(Laboi Party (it took place prior
b.
to the merger).
9
Since Pak Hon-yang was still in good grace then)Kwon 0-jik
continued his activity in Haeju along the 38th parallel as heed liaison
man for the South Korean Labor Party. In 1948, when the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea was established in P'yongyang, and Pak Ron-
yang became a Vice Premier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kwon
0-jik was appointed Ambassador to Hungary and subsequently to Peiping.
In 1953, when Pak Hon�yong was purged, Kwon 0-jik was recalled at once
and arrested by Kim fl-song. Today he is engaged in forced labor at a
coal nine somewhere.

who had been active as. a student a the Yonhui
Technical School under the direction of Kwon 0-sol at the time of the
10 June Manse Movement, was that to death along with Yi Sung-yop as an
American spy at the time of the Pak Hon-yong purge. Thus, the top
cadres of the Tuesday Faction were completely eliminated by Kim II-song.
The only member of this group who survived was Hong Chung-sik,
SEURE1
who betrayed both the Tuesday Faction and Pak Hon-yong. He is now
serving as secretary general of the United Democratic Fatherland Front.
He is well known in South Korea and has many acquaintances among the
contemporary political figures in South Korea. For this reason, Kim
II-song is using him in this field. Hong Chung-sik, who was the director
of the Awards Bureau of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's
Assembly during the Korean War, abandoned all the medals and ribbons
in his custody and fled during the retreat at the time of the UN counter-
offensive, thus provoking Pak Hon-yong, who demoted him to a member of a
consumers cooperative in Chinnampso (Namplo). Subsequently, however, when
Kim Il-song arrested Pak Hon-yong and held a session to impeach him,
Hong Chung-sik volunteered to stand as a witness against Pak Hon-yang,
criticizing him severely while most of the meMbers of the Central Com-
mittee of the South Korean Labor Party whol

'forces were captured and about 50,000 were killed in action. The
100,000-men main force of the People's Army, trained for 5 years by
Kim fl-song, thus, was destrpyed. Kim fl-song had to flee to Manchuria..
Kin fl-song's image as an unbeaten, 1e4endery hero disappeared
and he was regarded by the people as a tyrant driven from his throne.
His prestige fell. Kim fl-song, however, was able-to-return to
Plyengyang with the help of the Chinese People's Volunteer 4mi-
/is Kim fl-song's prestige fell among the wets, similarity,
it fell among the cadres of the party and the government...
Kin fl-song, in order to put the blame -on someone else and regain .
hie prestige, set up Po Chong, corps tommander an the,
scapegoats' Its Chong formerly was an artillery conmander in the Chinese
Coma:nut Army, and as s general, had a long record of active service
on the China mainland. .
During a defeat, when a regimental commander disobeyed a oomaand
and tried to flee, Mo.Cliong became angry and shot him.. Kim Il-eong
1.186a this incident io-ce excuse to get rid of NSA Chong, who was close
to Pak Mon-:Fong; and relieved him of his duties and imprisoned him
en the chargne that hie actions were those of a military clique. Its
