Dear Comrade Marcel Cachin and dear comrades of the Central Committee of the French Communist Party: The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China warmly celebrates Comrade Cachin’s eightieth birthday. Comrade Cachin is a living symbol of the French revolutionary workers’ movement and the patriotic democratic movement of the French people since the late nineteenth century. His unwavering loyalty to proletarian internationalism, his steadfast devotion to the friendship between the French and Soviet peoples, and his ardent sympathy for the Chinese people and the liberation movements of other oppressed nations are not only a source of pride for the French working class, but also a common pride of the international working class. We wish Comrade Cachin good health! Our fraternal greetings to Comrade Cachin and to the Central Committee of the French Communist Party, with Comrade Thorez at its head.
