The government of Greece, angered now l)y Samuel Inmill's efforts to "put one over," says it will ship him back to the United States to finally face charges of embezzlement and grand laicenv for which lie has been sought for many moonR past- At the same time, Canada, announces that she will extradite Martin Insull, a brother, 'desired on the same charge, back to this country. f such actually takes place and these two apparent crafties are finally returned for trial, long awaiting justice will have its opportunity. Should conviction result and that from past experience seems more probable than possible the course of law will be jubilant and satisfied. ' Hut h6w about the thousands of investors, a host of little f,.ows many widowed and aged who, hoping to improve their condition, invested in the securities that Insull is pur ported to have guaranteed and then said to have wrecked by his manipulations for vast personal gain. What is their satisfaction? . ' ' Taking conviction of the Instills for granted if one may be so optimistic what satisfaction is there to ho who has lieen forced to exchange home for hovel, happiness, for despair , and health for wretchedness? What is his satis faction that his malefactor simply goes to jail a mere forced imprisonment away from some accustomed luxuries yet with com tesies and privileges that ill gotten gains continue to buy a veritable '-rose room" compared with the accommoda tions the victims, though free, are 'Vnjoying" on the outside. Long drawn out trials, re-trials and continued investiga tions tu establish new- and necessary stronger evidence and involving tvetrlcruloiis and added new cost to government is aboiit the usual type of "satisfaction package" that John Doe, Richard. Roe and others of a-mistreated public receive from the ' retunr oP such as the Instills. Both of these high fliers of finance have given every evi dence during their "skipping hours" of possessing ready sums for luxuries and pleasures of kings. Their alleged manipu lations' are said to have amassed such millions as only fuel to constant fire hilglit consume in the period of time since discovery of their asserted tricky dealings. There has been no lire and somewhere -there-must be great millions left. -When, will-our laws, in real justice and satisfaction, also return with conviction of such manipulators the residue of fortunes so gained back to those from whence it came. Or if that be too complicated or impossible, through lack of rec ord, at least compensation into the aid of sadly depleted coffers of government that is a part of the suffering and misguided John Does and Richard Roes.

Rand and Justice George Ross man filed with the secretary of state today for reelection to the Ore- j gon state supreme court bench. Their positions are me oniy iwo oj uie seven to be filled at the election this On Ynmtlon Howard Stoop, a student nt Oregon State college, arrived In La Grande this weekend to spend the spring va cation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stoop.

'Forgets' Killings UNITE FOR DKFENSE It' is to le hoped that the report ol tho special naval board that will make a new survey of the mouth of the Columbia as adequate for the establishment of a naval base will be more immediately productive of duo and just results than .similar investigations over the preceding 17 years. The Ore gon delegation in congress has recently succeeded in securing from the secretary of navy a promise to send such a board for up-lo-minute survey of this natural, strategic and im portant point of needed strengthening of Pacific Coast defenses. As curly ns May. 1017. n .Hpeclul nuvy board InvestlKiited the mouth of tho Columbia river unci, ufti'r kuIiik over tho situation thoroughly and cnrolully hud tho following to suy. In part: "That the Tongue Point site appenrs to possess Kieuter itdvuntiiKes us u suhmiirlne und aviation base than any other site In the locality .... necessity for tho protection of tho Columbia lover region Is Imperative .... a well equipped base ln the Columbia river . . . . would meet the requirements ol delense at Wlllapa Bay, Grays Harbor and the coast to the northward and southward of tho entrances to the Columbia river." The commission at that time went further to recommend that legislation be enacted to carry Into effect Its findings through acquisition by tho government of the Tongue Point site either by "purchase or gift" and the sum of 1.200.000 appropriated toward such acquisition and development. In October, 11H0. a :teeond board of high navy officials reported ami recommended as had Its predecessors. In January, lll'Jl. the people of Clatsop county taxed themselves lor 8100.000, purchased the site at Tongue Point, and deeded It to the government. The .government quickly accepted tho deed but despite the recommenda tions of two high naval boards nothing has been done up to this time toward establishment of the base except a small amount of dredging of the channel. Not only has the government lulled to keep its pledge to Oregon and the people of Clatsop county, but In this failure has stead fastly refused to return the purchase price to those who gave It ln good lulth. We of Eastern Oregon should be as interested in the de velopment of proper defense at the mouth of our great river as the coastal territory more clo.se to its actual location. Let' enemy forces, unhampered, take control of our coastal outlet, ami our condition inland would be most serious indeed. It is imperative that we. as a part of this great productive ter ritory of the Columbia basin, join with our coastal friends in continued interest in ami efforts with our Oregon delega tion in congress to further their efforts to bring about the filial establishment of the defenses at the mouth of our great river. Millions have been poured into building and improve ment of naval and military establishments in Washington and California, while Oregon has been passed by. In this instance, sectional prejudices and desires should be set aside in a united state-wide effort that will strong-hand I orcibly recall to our national government its uni-edeemcd pledge to give to this commonwealth the defenses so neces saryjait neglected for our welfare.
