While the Government's public spending axe has fallen heavily on the organisation that seeks to spread British culture, values and expertise - The British Council - the opposite is happening in other nations prominent in the culture export business. France and West Germany, for instance, both spend at least twice as much as Britain, and the Third World finds itself swamped with scholarships and cheap books offered by the Eastern Bloc.

The Royal Geographical Society has just celebrated its 150th anniversary, and it has greatly changed from its early dining-club image. Expeditions now tend to be rigorous scientific investigations. often with a potential economic spin-off, rather than the somewhat dilettante affairs of 150 years ago.
