LADY HOUSTON’S OFFER (Received July 29, 12 noon) LONDON, July 28. Lady Houston, the widow of the millionaire shopman, has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer: “Your regrettable refusal of £200,000 I offered to lessen the shameful cut in Britain’s defences, has decided me to send a smaller sum of £40,000 which is Ihc amount of income tax which would be duo if I were domiciled in England, instead of Jersey. I hope you will not be 100 proud to accept it.”
