Misjudged.

“I have found during the last few years, especially since the conditions of transport page 19 have become so much disturbed, that there has arisen a grave confusion of thought. We have been much misjudged. A great deal is overlooked and not known about our organisation. As long as the public know what we are doing, I believe we are going to get that credit and honour which is our due. I have attempted, during the past two years, to bring the public of New Zealand to that degree of understanding that will bring it to the condition I have described. I have also appealed to the railway organisation, and I think I have been generally supported. I think the work we have done is about to bear fruit, and the clouds are going to roll away, and that we are going to receive the due we may so justly claim.
