Addressing him as “Poor Mr Chamberlain,” in relation to her offer of £200,000 for 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 to" the dung-heap of the House of Commons. The only excuse you can possibly. make is that London’s safety by air has been adequately arranged. If you fcan assure me that it is so, I , will apologise and withdraw all I have said.
