PLEADS
FOR RECOGNITION
REBEL CHIEF ISSUES PROCHANiA-
TION SETTING FORTH WHAT
HE WANTS.
DON'T Want INTERVENTION
Says Intervention Means Loss of Hun
dreds of Thousands of Lives
and Property.

WASHINGTON, April 27-Paving
the way for more formal demand for
recognition by the American govern
ment of the belligerency of the MeXl-
can revolutionists Manuel Lujan one of
the Junta representing Orozco and now
in Washngto submitted to the state
department today a signed copy of a
proclamation issued by their leader
addressed "on behalf of the revolu-
tionary party to all of the people of
the Republic of Mexico and its foreign
colonies"
In this pronOuncement Orozco de-
clares the orders of his party to be a
complete recognition of the principles
of the Mexican legislation and estab-
lishment of law and order which the
Madero government has failed to
achieve. Stress is laid upon the charge
that at present the lives and property
of MeXicans as well as of foreigners
are in jeopardy; that through acts Of
vengeance Mexico has lost moral ana
financial prestige and provoked the
determination on the part of the Unit
ed States and other foreign countries
to forcibly intervene in behalf of their
citizens residing in our midst for the
purpose of protecting their lives and
property
Don't Want Intervention.
Orozco points to the vast amount Of
foreign capital invested in Mexico
which he pledges himself to protect as
well as stop all bloodshed and disor
der. He declares I'VE don't want in
tervention; we must not have inter
vention. We should not permit there
fore conditions to prevail which in
any sense afford a just cause for in
tervention.'
The idea of Intervention of any for
eign country is appalling; it means
our loss of independence; the down
fall of our republic as well as of hum
dreds of thousands of lives and hund-
reds of millions of dollars worth Of
property.
He condemns destructionfof property
looting of the treasury and provocation
of International difficulties. The con-
duct of Madero is said by Orozco to
determine his weakness of character
and willingness to antagonize the well
meaning people of the republic.
He should therefore be turned out
at the earliest possible moment" con-
tinues the proclamation, which winds
up with declaration of the intention
of the revolutionary party after re-
storing peace to reorganize the ad-
ministration and to put at the head of
the government a man who is the free
choice of the people.
