LADY HOUSTON
GIFT TO TREASURY CONCERNED OVER NATIONAL SAFETY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 14. Lady Houston has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr Neville Chamberlain) offering a cheque of £200,000 instead of a cheque for £40,000 due as income tax. She proposes that the extra amount should go towards the cost of an adequate army, navy, and Air Force, which Lady Houston considers requires an addition of £5,000,000 in the coming Budget. Lady Houston adds: “If nineteen others do the same the paltry sum required will ensure that national safety will be found.”
