LADY HOUSTON AGAIN.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
London, July 28.
Lady Houston has written as follows to the Chancellor of the Exchequer: “Your regrettable refusal of the £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 the amount of the income tax which should be due if I were domiciled in England, instead of Jersey. I hope you will not be too proud to accept it.”
