From James T. Donaldson, Farmer, Hampden.

In answer to your circular re Railway Management I have no hesitation in saying I think the Railways are better managed as at present than under the direct control of Parliament, having a very poor opinion of the majority of the Members of Parliament. It would have been a bad day for the country had the present Government been in charge of the Railways during the late strike, and by way of remedy I should like to see returned to Parliament members who would consider it their first duty to foster and encourage the producing industries of the country rather than to loaf upon them as at present.
