LONDON'S SAFETY.
Lady Houston's Scathing Letter . To Mr. Chamberlain. £200,000 DONATION REFUSED. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 13. Addressing him as "poor Mr. Chamberlain," in relation to her offer of £200,000 fpr aerial defence of London which he refused, Lady Houston wrote to the Chancellor of" the Exchequer. She stated, inter alia:— "The safety of London, how it bores you! With a gesture of utter contempt, without even deigning to ascertain Londoners' wishes, you have flung the safety I offered them on. the dungheap of the House of Commons. The only excuse you can possibly make is that London safety by air has been adequately arranged. If you can assure me that it is so, I will apologise and withdraw all I have said. So E.S.V.P. to Lucy Houston."
