ANOTHER OFFER.
Lady Houston's Proffered Gift Of £40,000. LETTER TO EXCHEQUER. (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, July 28. Lady Houston has written the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, stating: "Your regrettable refusal of £200,000 which I offered to lessen the shameful cut in Britain's defences has decided me to send a smaller sum of £40,000, which is the amount of the income tax due by me if I was domiciled in England instead of in Jersey. I hope you will not be too proud to accept it."
