Cachin, jeté en prison ... contre la guerre criminelle du Maroc (Cachin, Thrown into Prison ... for Opposing the Criminal War in Morocco)
A narrow strip poster pairs a halftone portrait of the communist deputy Marcel Cachin with red and black type saying he was 'thrown into prison by the bourgeoisie' for standing against 'the criminal war of Morocco', and that working masses must demand 'his immediate release'. The name-calling tell is the loaded labels 'bourgeoisie' for the jailers and 'criminal war' for the colonial campaign, stated as fact.
