HARVARD UNIVERSITY Food Services should heed the call of the various student groups who are concerned about this situation by terminating its purchasing contract with Nestle. Besides the fact that comparably priced substitutes are available for the hot chocolate and iced tea that we now buy from that company, it is important that Harvard recognize the gravity of the misdeeds Nestle is being accused of.

Given the generally accepted rule of thumb that every $1 billion in exports supports 30,000 to 40,000 jobs, the cost of the various official "disincentives" to trade is high. Treasury officials reckon that the U.S. loses up to $10 billion a year in sales because of various foreign policy considerations.
