Washington, Sept. o.-(By The
Associated Press.)-An appeal for
formal recognition by the United
States of the belligerency of the
various anti-Carranza revolutionary
factions in Mexico and for financial
aid in the proposed overthrow of
Carranza and the setting up of
provisional coalition government
was presented at the White House
late today.
The appeal, which pledges "recon-
struction and restoration to national
health" of chaotic Mexico, bears the
seals of Glarrado Niagara, COM
mander of the recognizing army;
Guillermo Meixueiro, commander OF
the defensive forces of the free
and sovereign state of Oaxaca';
Felipe Angeles and Francisco Villa,
commanders of the convention
forces" and Manuel Pelaez, COM
mander of the constitution of 1857
revolutionary army"
Charging President Carranza with
having constituted himself "irre-
sponsible dictator of Mexico" with
having by his "illegal and despotic
confscation of foreign-owned prop
critics and the murder of many hun
dreds of foreign citizens" brought
about imminence of American inter-
vention; with having aligned him
self first with radicalism and later
with the German cause against the
allies, and with having made Mex
ico prey of the most cruel and bru-
tai tyranny our country has had to
endure in all the past century of its
efforts toward freedom" the ap-
peal proposes a conference of all
the revolutionary factions with
representatives of the United States
for the purpose of formulating a
program for reconstruction and
restoration of Mexico"
Truth Coming to Light.
To-day the truth is coming to-
light" says the appeal "and today
Venustiano Carranza, your enemy.
as he and his circle of officials are
ours, is threatening to draw upon
us the natural result of his and
their crimes.
we are about to be made 10
suffer for the crimes of those who
have murdered our fellows; veal
Mexicans-are being cried against
for the deeds of our oppressors:
Mexico is about to be called, and
treated as the enemy of your great
democracy on account of the deeds
we have now for five years resisted
without blood committed by those
few evil men who, by their Ell
trenched position have been enabled
to do all these things.
"Carranza and the entire circle of
his supporters, without one single
exception have betrayed you and
your placed trust and hopes as he
betrayed us and the support given
him at that time.
I'VE are fighting for our liberties
and our homes; the war in Mexico
will never cease until that fight is
gained; it cannot cease.
Desire Recognition.
We ask that recognition which is
the bounden right of all who fight
tor their homes, their liberties and
their laws. We ask that we NAV be
heard; that we may have standing
from which to speak and plead the
cause of oppressed Mexico and our
children.
Toward this end we, the sipners
hereto, for ourselves and all those
we represent and those who have
entrusted to us their defense, pledge
to you here by our united co-opera
ton in the protection of life and
property throughout the territory of
the Mexican federation; we pledge
ourselves to unite in the formation
of provisional administration upon
coalition basis of the liberal ele-
ments, those elements that seek true
democracy and the welfare of the
nation, to its very lowest and hum
blest citizens, instead of personal
power and authority or personal ag-
grandizement."
