SummaryResumen
The Evening Star reported on an escalating banana trade war in Haiti between the Standard Fruit Company and independent exporters following the overthrow of President Elie Lescot. President Dumarsais Estime's administration reportedly prepared to revoke the export license of Habanex due to its owner's family ties to Lescot. Meanwhile, independent shippers accused Standard Fruit of aggressive price competition that threatened to price American importers out of the market.

second largest banana port in the
country.
And where Standard Fruit had
been getting the bulk of Haiti’s
bananas, the big company dropped
to parity with two independents,
the Haiti Fruit and Steamship Co,
a Miami concern, and the Haiti
Banana Export Co. (Habanex),
owned by Jean Elie.
But now the trade war is on.
Standard is back, and according to
the independents, making plenty of
trouble for them.
License May Be Canceled.
A couple of months ago the new
Haitian regime of President Du

who was overthrown in a thre-day
revolution last January.
However, cancellation of Mr. Elie’s
license would not benefit Standard,
