   • 1937 November 18th, Edward Frank Iwi, “A Plea for an Imperial Privy Council and Judicial Committee”, in Transactions of the Grotius Society: Papers Read before the Society in the Year 1937, volume 23: Problems of Peace and War, →JSTOR, page 135:

     If I have established a prima facie case that all is not well with the body politic of the Empire, how then is the problem capable of solution?
