Portland Oregonian —In opposing
Admiral Palmer’s acts, Mr. Haney
has stoutly maintained the position
that this delegation of authority is
contrary to law and in so doing has
incidentally defended the interests
of Portland, his home; but not only
of this port but of every other inde
pendent port tht is struggling
against the influence behind Palmer.
All who know Mr. Haney know that
he is incapable of acting contrary to
any understanding he may have had
prior to his reappointment, also that
he would not knowingly enter into
any such understanding as is al
leged, since he would have been a
sacrifice to his known conviction,
often expressed and of the interests
of the community in which he was
