Abstract
LORD STAMP, Lady Stamp and the Hon. Wilfred Stamp were killed in a recent air attack on London. Lord Stamp was a man of whom many different obituary notices might be written. As a Civil Servant, as a business administrator, as a Government advisor and negotiator, as a writer on economic problems, he had so many achievements'of distinction to his credit that adequate note of him in any one field crowds out reference to any other field. He worked as easily as ordinary mortals breathe or sleep. He could afford to say “yes” to innumerable invitations to speak or write on relatively unimportant occasions without losing power to do first-rate work on important occasions. His energy was incredible and his output superhuman. All this has been emphasized in one way or another by those who have paid tribute to his memory.
