The tell is the closing banner, 'the Government army and the Allies help the compatriots', set against the rice-seizure pictures. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Card stacking](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/card-stacking/) [Transfer](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/transfer/) ## Text on the object Original (Vietnamese) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` LÚA GẠO VIỆT-CỘNG CƯỚP ĐÃ ĐƯỢC HOÀN TRẢ CHO DÂN CHÚNG TRONG MỘT CUỘC HÀNH QUÂN DIỆT CỘNG TẠI PHÍA BẮC TỈNH BÌNH-TUY TRONG THÁNG 11 VÀ 12-65 SƯ ĐOÀN 10 CÙNG CÁC LỰC LƯỢNG BẠN ĐÃ KHÁM PHÁ MỘT KHO LÚA GẠO CỦA VIỆT-CỘNG.
