First Party Organization-Society for Rallying Comrades

 Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- 95 years have passed since the first party organization-the society for rallying comrades was formed in Korea.
The Communist Party of Korea was organized in Korea in the 1920s, but it had no existence owing to the harsh suppression by the Japanese imperialists and factional strife among top figures.
Proceeding from this actual condition, President Kim Il Sung keenly felt the historic mission of building a Juche-oriented revolutionary party.
He made up his mind to scrupulously consolidate the organizational and ideological basis of party founding and, on its basis, to found a party capable of playing the role of the general staff of the Korean revolution, not by the method of declaring the party central committee in a quick-tempered manner.
At the historic Kalun Meeting (June 30-July 2, 1930), he set forth the original policy of party founding by forming the basic party organization first and steadily expanding and strengthening it.
On July 3, the next day after the Kalun Meeting, he formed the first party organization with revolutionaries of the new generation.
He took the first step of the revolution from winning comrades and saw to it that the name of the party organization was called the society for rallying comrades by reflecting the ambition and will to advance and complete the Korean revolution by finding and rallying comrades who would share their destiny with him. 
The society for rallying comrades was the embryo and seed of the Workers' Party of Korea and an organization which is of parent-body significance in forming and expanding the basic party organizations.
After the formation of the society for rallying comrades, the party organization was formed on Turu Hill of Onsong County on Oct. 1 that year for the first time in the homeland, and basic party organizations and party leadership bodies at all levels were built and expanded in broad areas at home and abroad in the first half of the 1930s.
The formation of the Party Committee of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army in May 1934 provided a well-regulated system of unified guidance to party organizations at all levels and firmly ensured the party's leadership over the armed struggle and the overall Korean revolution.
Thanks to the valuable successes and experience gained in the days of the anti-Japanese revolution under the leadership of the President, the historic cause of founding the party could be successfully accomplished in less than two months after the country's liberation (August 15, 1945). -0-
