The two volumes in slipcase. Near fine conditon. The 1934 'case for secession' failed, and support for the Dominion League in the Western Australian community dwindled. The secession debate was reignited briefly in 1974 by mining magnate Lang Hancock with the formation of the Westralian Secession Movement. The movement was sparked in reaction to the centralist policy of the Whitlam Labor Government. However, the movement failed to achieve prominence due to the strong economy at the time, and disappeared as quickly as it emerged. [Harrop]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 102740
