L. Dudley Stamp, D.Sc.

This morning L. Dudley Stamp is to tell the story of a voyage he made from England to the West Indies on a modern banana boat. Something about the trip; Barbados and its sugar plantations; Trinidad and its cocoa and oil; Jamaica and its great banana trade - all will be described in this talk, to say nothing of the journey home. Not the least interesting, if ironical, part of it was that though Mr. Stamp came back with a cargo of ten million bananas, he couldn't get one to eat.
