Need to cry out in favour (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

call for

'need' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'cry out in favour' is the wordplay.
'cry out' becomes 'call'.
'in favour' becomes 'for' (I've seen this before).
'call'+'for'='CALL FOR'

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for call for that I've seen is " Request".)
