JOHANNES JACOBUS VIKTOR
Chair, I am convinced that the particular paragraph has not been worded entirely correctly.  In consultation between myself and the lawyer I don't want to claim that the lawyers made any mistake, but I don't think that this is exactly what was intended or how I felt with regard to the matter.  I think that the word "begryp" or understanding should be replaced by "sympathy", "sympatie".  I had rather indicated that I had sympathy with the applicant.  Insofar as the situation in the Division Northern Transvaal had been I expressed my sympathy.
