GEORGE BIZOS
Well if they were impressionable young men and lacking of experience, there may have been something in their argument.  We are dealing with a Colonel in the Police, Col Burger.  We are dealing with experienced officers.  We must also take Van Zyl as an example, and we do quote it here, that what happened to his patriotism once his business really thrived?  Can't we look back what his predominant motive must have been when he actually joined it?  And then also, but we will check the record overnight, we do not think that they joined in ignorance.  One doesn't make a career change without asking what does it involve on the probabilities.  I would submit that on the evidence as a whole, but we will look for definite passages overnight, that it is an oversimplification that they didn't know what they were letting themselves in for.
