"I
agree
with
the
views
expressed
by
members
of
the
House
of
Commons
here
today
that
the
deficit
record
of
this
system
has
had
an
Injurious
and
deleterious
effect
on
railroad
men
who
cannot
understand
why
such'
results
should
continue
for
so
long
when
from
the
standpoint
of
the
personnel
they
are
doing
a
very
good
job.
My
viewj
on
this
matter
are
now
before
the
Royal
Commission
on
Transportation".
