London, Unchanging, Yields Rapidly
 to Many Changes

London, June 23.-London, which travellers maintain changes more slowly than any other great capital, is yielding to the necessity of providing for continued inrushes of population There are many indications that the city is on the eve of an unprecedent- ed era of rebuilding.
 Instead of stretching further into the beautiful country lying immedia- tely outside it's bounds, the predicted building boom is likely to be a pro- cess of lightning up and levelling up by better utilization of wasted space and acceptance of the American sky scraper idea.
 Evidences of the last named influ- ences are to be seen today along Lon don's newest downtown thoroughfare --Kingsway-near the Strand. Here 9 number of buildings, either built by Americans or designed for American occupation, are in the process of con- struction. Shortage of skilled men in the building trades and hindrances due to England's leasehold system are the main handicaps, but the fact re- mains that London is verging toward marked physical changes.

Novelty In Social Legislation Is New
 German Council

Berlin, June 23.---A novelty in so- cial legislation is the new Getma19 State Economic Council which ia gazetted in the official Reichsanzei- ger. This institution may be designs ed as business and professional parS liament of experts in all economic branches existing apart from, and side with, the regular state legislature.
 It's functions are to eyamine and pass upon all important economic measures, and it may even compile and present laws although neither the bound by it's decisions.
 This newly instituted body consists of 326 members representing agricul- ture and forestry, industries, trades, banks, insurance, handicrafts, trans- portation and public enterprises, com sumers leagues, officialdom, fine arts and liberal professions, horticulture, fisheries. To the foregoing are added 12 members appointed by the Reich stag and 12 by. the government. The new council which will meet for it's first deliberations about the same time as the new Reichstag, viz, early next July, has only provisional char acter. It is to pave the way for permanent Economic Council in ac- cordance with paragraph 165 of the German Constitution, which provides that "there shall be created on legal basis, economic councils for districts and one central state Economic Coun- cil, so composed that all trades, vo- cations and callings shall be repre- sented thereon according to their re- spective economic and social in- portance."

 Apparently this delegation did not faithfully represent the attitude of all the islanders for other flanders have been agitating for lf-determination and permission to join with Sweden since the beginning of 1918.
 The Swedish government has taken up the subject with the Powers and has asked the government of Finland to submit the question by referendum to the natives of the Aland Islands.
 Acording to a statement drawn up by Swedish premier, efforts to set tie the matter between Finland and Sweden have failed and the Swedish government has appealed to the Peace Conference in support of the demands

of those flanders who desire to be annexed to Sweden.
 On July l., g delegation of the County Council at Aland, empowered by 96 per cent of the population of the islands, visited Stockholm and was re- ceived by King Gustave. This dele gation presented the demands of the islanders for their right of self determination and their intention to l reunite with Sweden, declaring that their failure to receive these rights were causing impatience and that if they were withheld while being grant ed to others would cause great appre- hension with the Aland population.
 The King assured them that Sweden was making all possible efforts to ob- tain a decision which would be based on the vote of the islanders them. selves.
