James Bell Donald (1889–1971) was a United Party Member of Parliament in Auckland, New Zealand. He was a cabinet minister from 1928 to 1931 in the United Government.[1]
He won the Auckland East electorate off Labour’s John A. Lee in 1928, by 37 votes.[2] According to Olsen, Lee's opponent was "a staunch anti-militarist who had been gaoled during the [Great] war".[3]
When he retired in 1931, the electorate went back to Labour.[4] In 1935, he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.[5]
