Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ATTACKS on C-licensees came from abroad as well as at home, said Mr. R. F. Page at a recent meeting of Cardiff traders organized by the South Wales Area of the Traders' Road Transport Association.

He quoted a speech of Mr. A. Harrison to the International Railway Congress in Rome. Mr. Harrison said: "One appreciates the value of a stimulant to maintain the efficiency of nationalized transport, but the balanced working and progressive improvement of national enterprises will be imperilled if there is no obligation on the individual to prove that it is necessary for him to operate his own transport."

Mr. Page commented: "The railways blame a lot of their ills orf-C-licensees. whereas the solution is in a reorganization of the whole of the railway system,"
